I would say a Touareg V-10 Diesel but it puts out twice the torque at 553 ft-lb

Audi Allroad with 2.7L biturbo and a 6-speed.

Spend an extra $600 and get the computer reflashed and shock more than just kids in mustangs.

I smell Saab 9-2x. Or as everyone else has said, Foz.

Man, you guys just listed a whole bunch of cars I'd like to own. You are also on the right track. It's hard to take pictures in the dark, so better pics will be up tomorrow. The body style, engine, and transmission combination I wanted was only available for one model year.

This is my guess too, as the wagon was only available with a manual in the 2005 model year!

I'm always amazed at the power of the throbbing brain of GRM. You guys are good! 2005 Legacy GT Limited wagon with a 5 speed!

Been watching Autotrader and eBay for quite a while. Ended up finding this on Friday on the Legacy GT forum where someone posted a link to the ad from the dealership but it already said it was sold. Because it was right here in Milwaukee I e-mailed them and asked to let me know if the deal fell through. Got an e-mail on Monday that the buyer from New York bailed, so I test drove it Monday, took it to my mechanic for a once over Tuesday, and picked it up Wednesday.

I didn't care if the car was a limited or not, but the leather is nice, though I could actually live without the huge sunroof that comes with the limited package. The heated seats and mirrors will be nice in the Wisco winters!

69k miles. Interior is spotless. The rear bumper was run into something so there is some cracking in the paint, and three of the wheels do have a ding in them. All the suspension is original and it tracks and drives straight and smooth. Good Year tires are like new. Fresh brakes. The dealer I bought it from picked it up at auction with a turbo that was leaking oil. They replaced the turbo and the car has a 3k mile bumper to bumper warranty with no deductible so I'm comfortable with that.

Had a great dealership experience. Independent used car dealer. They have a warehouse rather than a traditional open lot and give their no-negotiation price up front. It was a couple hundred bucks over Edmunds private party and quite a bit below KBB private party. More importantly, it was priced very well compared to all of the Leggy GT wagons on Autotrader nation wide.

This is the first car I've had in a long time that I want to do things to... It is too quiet! It pulls right up to the rev limiter and I don't notice. So, once the 3k mile warranty is up I'll be looking at c/a intakes and possibly an exhaust. Windows are definitely getting tinted. I loved the BMW that it replaced, but this was definitely a great move. Much smoother on the highway. Handles almost as good, but I'm used to rwd and will need to learn how to drive this thing.

Without further delay, here are the pics.

Very nice! Have fun cleaning it, and honestly, I am a fan of sunroofs. Sure, they add weight and all, but they add some really nice circulation to the car when the windows are down.

Brand new car, and the first thing you do is climb on top of it to take a shot through the sunroof?

That's just the sort of thing I would do.

I'm tall enough that I was able to take that by opening the back door and standing on the ledge.
