The only reason that I wanted pics was to know what all the terminations look like. Are they all just like the ones to the battery? I guess I could just inspect them all myself, but I'm still waiting for my Haynes manual to arrive.

Thanks,

I got it!

Thanks again for all your help. I found a 1998 Brighton SE wagon (2.2L) with 100,000 miles for CA$5400, or aboot US$5000. It recently had the brakes done, and the dealer put on new tires.

By the way, Josh, thanks for the pics. I think I could do my own seals and timing belt. I've done head gaskets on a Honda Shadow and do most of the work on my BMW motorcycle, so as long as the engine doesn't have to come out, no problem. I'm inspired. I'll let you guys know which one I buy. Cheers! ...

Reliability curve: What '99 Legacy to buy for under $6000?

Hi folks. I'm buying my first car, and I've seen a few Legacy wagons around that I really want. doesn't have to be Outback, unless someone here tells me they're more reliable. I'm pretty sure that I'll find a good deal on a 1998-2001 model. Here's the crux of my conundrum: I think I can find a nice ...
