Thinking of buying the 2004 Subaru Legacy?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2004 Subaru Legacy for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page helps you judge the 2004 Subaru Legacy before you buy one anywhere.

A buyer's checks

Owners filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 10 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

What the figures tell you

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Best uses

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Space and size

As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Legacy on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Legacy for a week and see how it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

When you know your dates

A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2004 Subaru Legacy from us first.
