about the Subaru Legacy.....

• Introduced in 1990 the Legacy has been Subaru's best seller.

Powered by a very dependable 2.2L  engine and since 1996 an optional 2.5L engine, the Legacy has come in a variety of models, including front wheel drive, Subaru's well known all-wheel-drive, turbo powered models, luxury models, rugged road (Outback) models, and sport models.
• 1995 1st re-design. Outback model introduced.
• 1999 30th Anniversary models
• 2000 the Legacy extensively re-designed. This 3rd generation Legacy is longer, wider and more powerful, with improved safety components, side air bags on some models, limited slip rear axles, completely new rear suspension, new dashboard, power seat and a lot more. All models now have the 2.5L engine.

"Dealer trade"or "locate". These mean a dealer will attempt to find a vehicle in another dealer's inventory and then trade with that dealer. The vehicle will be driven from the other location and will have appropriate miles. Your dealer will search for the correct model and then contact the other dealer. This can take place within days if a vehicle is already in stock someplace.

Pre-sell: You wait for a vehicle the dealer already has ordered and is expecting to be delivered into their own stock.

Order: If a vehicle is freshly ordered, Subaru will give an expected delivery date but this is not an exact date. Usually a vehicle arrives at a dealer within 5-8 weeks, but delays can happen at any point along the assembly and shipping process, so be patient. The dealer wants you to get your car as quickly as you want to get it!
