- After I sold my Audi A4 last week I knew I needed to replace it with something special. Luckily I searched facebook and came across this 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback listed for sale at $800. After some shrewd negotiation I picked it up for $500 making it the cheapest white, manual transmission, 1998 Subaru Outback Limited with Pokemon sticker package in the USA!

The Outback concept originated with Subaru of America, which was suffering from slumping sales in the mid-1990s partly due to a lack of an entry in the then-burgeoning sport utility vehicle market. Lacking the finances to design an all-new vehicle, Subaru decided to add body cladding and a suspension lift to their Legacy wagon. Named the Legacy Outback, after the Australian outback, actor Paul Hogan was the spokesman in the North American market, playing off the Australian name of the vehicle and portraying the vehicle as a capable and more efficient alternative to large, truck-based SUVs. Sales exceeded expectations, with Tim Mahoney, Senior Vice President of Subaru of America stating "[the Outback] saved our company."
The Legacy Outback was formally introduced to the North American market at the 1994 New York Auto Show,and was known in Japan starting August 1995 as the Legacy Grand Wagon, and in Australia as the Outback, a trim package with normal ground clearance but an "SUV look" with two-tone paint and fog lights.
For the 1995 model year, the first year the Outback was introduced, the Outback was a trim package on the base model Legacy wagon "L", that primarily consisted of the heavy cloth interior, berber carpet floor mats, a luggage rack and fog lights with a standard height suspension. This approach was also used on the smaller Impreza wagon, with the name Outback Sport. When the 1996 model year arrived, it gained more aggressive appearing front bumper covers, with larger rallye inspired driving lamps replacing the previously installed fog lights, taller tires with more aggressive tread, and a 7.8 in (198 mm) ground clearance, with a 7.87 in (200 mm) ground clearance in Japan. The more aggressive appearance was also used on the smaller Outback Sport while omitting the increase in ground clearance from suspension modification. This approach was inspired by the Legacy having been entered into international rallying and long distance racing events, and winning the 1990 Safari Rally in the Group N category. In 1996, the MY1997 Outback received the hood scoop installed in the engine hood (bonnet) without installing an intercooler, commonly used in conjunction with a turbocharger.
In September 1997, the Japanese Legacy Grand Wagon was renamed Legacy Lancaster though 1998 cars retained the Grand Wagon nameplate along with the new Lancaster plate. Earlier versions of the Outback continued to use the EJ22 four cylinder engine, while later generations introduced the larger EJ25 four cylinder engine, revised with DOHC and more horsepower. The JDM Grand Wagon and Lancaster were only available with the DOHC 2.5-liter flat-4 engine, receiving a 10 hp (7.5 kW) improvement in 1998. Some Japanese-spec Grand Wagons came with digital climate control, plaid seat upholstery, a dual-range manual transmission and a Momo black leather steering wheel. Because the only engine available in Japan was the 2.5-liter engine, and the engines displacement exceeded Japanese regulations for vehicles classified as a "compact", Japanese buyers of the Grand Wagon were liable for taxes charged to larger cars, and was regarded as a luxury vehicle in Japan. The installation of the 2.5 litre engine in Japanese models also obligated Japanese buyers to pay more annual road tax, further enhancing the luxury image.
All trim levels retained the typical AWD layouts seen in previous generation Legacy, depending on transmission choice. Manual transmission models came with a mechanical "Continuous AWD" system which was normally 50/50 front/rear, and relied on limited slip differentials to redirect power front to rear, rear to front, and from one rear wheel to the other (when fitted with a rear limited slip differential). Automatic transmission models had an electronically controlled AWD system that was 90/10 front/rear and redirected differing amounts of power to the rear wheels continuously.

I just bought a 1996 Subaru outback for only 200 runs drives and even manual
I just bought my 99 for the second time. As in the literal same car found it’s way back to me two owners later. It’s a manual and I bought it the first time for $650. I did swap all the interior from cloth to leather last time I owned it lol
Whoa that’s epic you found it! My first car was. 94 Ford probe I would love to find it again
I just got my first car. Subaru outback 2000. I paid 200 for it. It’s sadly and auto but I’m happy with it. None the less. It has no issues and just got smogged, new shocks, new brakes, and some other things just before I got it. To be fair they are an elderly couple in my church who just wanted to get rid of it. They’ve had it its whole life so I’m only the second owner :)
I bought my 99 off of Facebook marketplace, it only had like 90k miles and I paid $2k for it. Got a great deal and needed only minimal engine maintenance. I’ve had it for a year and I drive 4 hours total on my daily commute, and she’s still sturdy af. I love it.
Nice! I jumped this one and destroyed it
@@dylanpfohl I love the energy of your comment lmfao
Why did i notice the bad dragon sticker
from cooking videos to drifting keep it up dylan
haha yeah man gotta mix it up sometimes!
Well that is definitely a bargain $500 for that Legacy Outback Subaru And in regards to your misfiring check your spark plugs or your spark plug spark plugs wires wiring coils. I own a 1999 Subaru Legacy wagon myself and I cannot explain how blessed I feel how good of a car this is and I got mine for $275 @ a OPG public auction, I've had enough for almost 5 years I really have it not invested too much money in it besides fixing the clutch the certain belt water pump brakes rotors and tires other than that that's pretty much it it's also a manual transmission which I enjoy driving whenever I get to drive it thanks for sharing your video and I hope you still have your Subaru Outback.
My misfire on the exact same car was due to a faulty fuel injector.
I saw a car today that read Outback on the side. Googled it saw that Subaru only makes Outback SUVs and not sedans. It looked just like the Legacy RS(?)
I got mine for 500! It came with a rooftop tent too. 146k miles & no issues:) I love it sm
I don’t know where you guys find o found Subarus for less than 2k.. i trying bought any Subaru but all are around 2.5k
I just bought one with a broken door for 160$ in cali, clean title 😊
bought one for 1800 with only 60k miles
limited model too with working heated seats and leather interior
Good find!

Just got my 99 SUS 30th Anniversary edition by trading my computer. Love it
Just bought a 2000 Limited for $900. Two hundred and forty thousand miles and the thing still runs and drives smooth. Had to put a new alternator and battery in but other than that it's good to go

Got mine free, good condition and runs

I have a 1996 with the same engine code have you figured out what is causing the double misfire? Checked your egr??
We just used the car for the gambler 500 and then sold it. I think the guys that bought it are still driving it though!
I bought my red 97 Subaru legacy outback for 1000, but it had a new clutch and new tires on it, (thought it was a steal in this market rn) and it's a lowered stance car with 300k on the stock original engine and trans
That’s a deal!
I just got mine for 100 bucks with only 46k original miles 😬
I'm seeing one in my town for $1500 with 179,000 miles on it. Would you think that's a good deal for a 1999?
Seems like a fair price!
I got you beat. My buddy wanted 600. I paid 400.
almost identical to mine, stickers and all, expect mine is a 2008 lol
I just bought one today the same one exact color
Congrats! You’ll like it!
@@dylanpfohl I actually just put a aftermarket touchscreen radio in it today really liking it already
Sorry, my 97 Legacy Outback was purchased for $300. Very good to excellent condition. No dents or rust. Great paint. 260,000 miles. Mine runs considerably better than yours. Engine smooth as silk.
Thanks for sharing
@@dylanpfohl We can both be assured that our bargain cars are worth more now than a year ago, according to trade in values. Not many 200k mileage cars can boast of increasing value.
Well unfortunately for you , my last 99’ red Legacy Outback was 300$ with only 73k…. So I guess I had the cheapest. But mine was auto so you have me there lol
nice!
