Ricardo.Bought this baby as my first car a couple days ago. It's a 2000 Subaru Outback Legacy 2.4l 4 cylinder. It's got 193,000km on the clock (119,000 miles) and got the timing belt done last year. It's fully loaded, except for leather seats. Bought it for $1,600 at an auction.
Congratulations, you bought your 2000 Subaru (god tier car by the way) for about 1/3 the cost mine was with almost identical starting mileage

Holy sack of shit that's cheap. Amazing catch.
Good call on the 4cyl, you won't regret it. The 6's from that generation suck donkey balls.

Been looking into getting a new car to mess around with and honestly have no idea how reliable auction companies are and with additional fees , etc
Where do you go about finding proper auction sites? I know a lot of them are for dealer only. How did you find that particular car at the auction? Did you know of it before hand or did you just show up and hope for the best.

I found this particular auction just by going on Google and searching "Calgary car auction". Usually they have a stock list of the cars they have. Lots of cars have reserves (my cars reserve was 2500) but almost none of them go for that much. You can usually go the day before the auction and check out the cars and start them up. There's also taxes and buyers fees to add on (depends how much your car is).

Alright thanks man im sure the NYC area has a decent amount around. Sounds like you get an absolute deal as well congrats
bags are air bags, they allow you to to raise or lower the car with the push of a button so you can drive over obstacles like speed bumps, ramps etc without bottoming out. You can also air out and drop the car as low as you like. Good alternative to driving really low on coil overs because you will rub/scrape.
Car update for me, sold my R32 for $2,000 more than I bought it for after 3 years and 50,000 ams of ownership!! (not too bad for what is usually a depreciating asset!)
Picked up an Audi B7 A4 Avant, 6speed manual and 2.0T, such an awesome car, can't wait for winter!

photos aint working, but shit dude thats ill. how much did you pay for the avant? titanium package/sline? if not, you better be doing a headliner swap. the all black looks SO much nicer than the grey
Pretty sure I posted a photo here when I got her a little over a year ago but whatever, just fitted the roof rack so that I can stop borrowing my moms car every day Im windsurfing.
Thanks man. Certainly needs some attention as far as general drivability comfort goes but it sure does rip. As long as no one hits me in this car i'll be happy haha. It came with a spare diff with a locker installed but that will wait til spring
lol why is it the worst? it's bagged... which means I can drive it literally anywhere I need to go. it's an econobox, which means I probably get better mileage than yours as well. it's fully functional
I fail to see how being on air makes a car "the worst"
ChunterProbably because you're a pussy and can't roll static.
yeah man, can't roll static. drove slammed three years on coils, finally made it on to the watch list for local police for being "unsafe." came home to an officer waiting at my house to tell me my car will be pulled off the road next time they see me drive it.
my options were:
1. never drive it again
2. go air
3. part out and go back to stock
so i went air. but yeah man I'm a pussy and can't roll static
this was when I was static. 12-15mm ground clearance. let's see yours.
plyswthsqrrlsyeah man, can't roll static. drove slammed three years on coils, finally made it on to the watch list for local police for being "unsafe." came home to an officer waiting at my house to tell me my car will be pulled off the road next time they see me drive it.
Okay I can respect that, at least you know. I'm talking about the kids who go straight air and barely even tuck tire, let alone wheel. This was 3 and a half years ago, sold it and have drove a stock R32 ever since.
gengar.Or he got tired of rolling static and you're the pussy because you can't afford bags.

lol don't act like you know.
I probably know more than you. Been driving around my boyfriends static b7 a4 avant for the past year

They're real, just two-piece.
yeah I know what you mean there. all those "the struggle is real" kids who just go bag over coils right away and complain about their shitty ride are the worst
nice looking ride you had there, and love me an r32 stock or otherwise
looking back I snapped pretty quick lol, my apologies man.

No worries, I was just bored trying to start shit on the internet anyways. Finally some love in a NS car thread; that alone is very rare haha. I dig your car! I always had a thing for Shavi's MS3 when he was static.
Another nice shot of my Ty with my boss' Ty/Shop Truck, and yes he has a sweet camo wrap to set his truck apart from the snow during the winter and all the other white typhoons

If only our roads up in Calgary were smooth enough to run 45k springs. I would be all over tucking fender in lip static. For now I'll stick to fender 1cm above lip static.
I feel you have to experience the realities of driving a low car before you go bags. I personally want bags because I still want my car to be low AF but my job requires me to drive many places that right now I can't. IMO, bags are a much better solution than just going back to stock height.
Bogezthinking about buying an alfa spider what does ns think? i only drive spring and summer
My boyfriends dad works on 10-20 of those bastards a year, every spring we the exact same cars come to the shop broken. They are difficult and expensive to fix and maintain which they need all the time. Mechanically, Alfas are the most confusing vehicles I've ever seen aside from an 80s maserati. Spiders take 6 quarts of oil for example, why? Who the hell knows!
If you live in Colorado Pm me for the shop info. Very few other people will fix them right or will even touch them. I may even be able to find you a car.
So rationally I'd say no but, Alfa Romeo and rationale rarely go together. Alfa people are crazy and cannot be stopped. If you really love it, why not.

wow, pretty funny how a mid-90s GMC jimmy is WAY cooler than these hella flush bagged pieces of shit that have been polluting this thread as of late

I have a '74 spider and love it. If you live in the US i would go anything before 1974 because they look a lot better without the rubbermaid bumpers and little to no emissions regulations. Super fun to drive, make a great noise but are a bitch to work on and cost a lot to maintain. Just be careful of frame rust.
