How a 215,000-Mile Legacy Went from Craigslist to Subaru’s Vintage Collection

We all love to browse used-car listings on the internet for no good reason. But every so often, a true diamond in the rough appears. Consider the heartwarming story of this 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon posted on San Francisco Craigslist that has now been purchased by none other than Subaru of America, Inc. for the company’s own historic collection.

We can see why the car caught the attention of someone at Subaru HQ. Although it has 215,000 miles on the odometer, the stick-shift Legacy longroof looks as if it just rolled off the showroom floor. The car’s remarkable condition and storied history are well documented in the extensive and detailed Craigslist ad penned by the car’s owner, Aaron, who runs a page called Rad Report that focuses on—you guessed it—Craigslist ads featuring stick-shift cars from the ’80s and ’90s.

The Legacy will now make its way to Subaru’s vintage collection in New Jersey, where it will live out the rest of its days in a climate-controlled garage. According to Aaron, it will be trotted out for various car shows and events, so if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll spot the legendary Legacy at a future instance of the ’80s and ’90s–themed Radwood car show.
