96 Legacy L wagon Timing Belt interval

[Jim Lofgren]

Hi folks,
I'm looking at a 96 Legacy L wagon with the 2.2 eingine and it has 65K miles on it. Wondering what the timing belt interval is on it and what other concerns at that milage. Thanks!

it should just have had the big 60K maintenance (incl timing belt). If not, negotiate ~800$ off the asking price

The owner is not available...how can I tell by raising the hood? I suppose the engine should be fairly clean on the end where the belt is, but there may be no way of knowing without tearing it down?.......Thanks!.....$800.00?...ouch

800$ is for more than just the timing belt. Check the alternator and A/C utility belts. Is the air filter clean? Mine has about 20,000km on it and there is just a little bit of dirt on the bottom edge. The top of my fuel filter is also the same age and the top is all discoloured from the salty Ottawa winters.

If you have no prior maintenance records, try phoning around the various Subaru dealers with the VIN and ask them if they have the car on record.

Ah. I am looking at a 95 AWD L with 115K miles on it for $3850 for a kid car. I will probably wait too long also.

Thanks,

I got a '95 FWD sedan with 65K for $3200.

Found it on cars.com. Just like I found my '92 Legacy with 65K miles back in 99--got that one for $3400. Also found my wife's Corolla and a Mazda 626 there. Search with a 100 mile radius, you never know what you'll see...there ARE some bargains out there!
