The 2005 Subaru Legacy for buyers
No 2005 Subaru Legacy is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2005 Subaru Legacy before buying one.
Before you sign for the Legacy
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Inside and out
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
When the Legacy makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Legacy for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Legacy on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
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.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Ask us
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 2005 Subaru Legacy from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2005 Subaru Legacy for you and reply within one business day.

Does CarmaCars sell the 2005 Subaru Legacy?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a 2005 Subaru Legacy before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2005 Subaru Legacy have recalls?
NHTSA lists 9 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
