I like that the job is done, but it's also had some miles on it since.
we did a set on a buddy's car in the driveway a few years ago. It's not fun but it's doable.
lots of aftermarket, lots of diy info available. These are really cool cars, and pretty rare to find w the 3rd pedal.

I thought the head gaskets and turbos were consumables like water pumps and timing belts on Honda's. Then there was knocking   |

They sure did!
This is it sitting in the driveway on a trickle charger, waiting for him to pass his drivers test on the 20th. We've spent some time over the past couple of weekends getting a few things sorted out, VCG (of course...) and changing all the fluids.

I connected with the person selling the Legacy GT, all the service listed was “the guy I bought it from told me it was done by his buddy in his driveway, no receipts” Alberta car, underbody has been painted, rust through on the passenger side rear wheel arch. A few too many risk factors for me.

If they had a modern version it'd be the car for me. Sliding doors FTW.

For me, if the North American market had room for smaller minivans, this would be my first choice.
Having owning an Odyssey myself, usability was great but something smaller would suit my needs better.

@JDMdreams, You'll be able to bring them over in 2023. The ones to get would be the 350G L package which is around $10-15k landed atm.

UBER'd to and from airport and around town. They are not nice vehicles, cheap interiors, lots of road noise. It was so bad everytime riding in one I'd have to comment on how shitty a van it was.
