12-14-15: Update
So I went up Saturday and took a look at and purchased the car. The interior was all fine, exterior was a bit more beat up than I hoped but nothing nutty. All dealer serviced, 1-owner and the guy was nice and pleasant to deal with. Wound up getting it for $11.5k, popped it on my insurance and drove it home.
According to the carputer I averaged about 36 mpg on the way home. Even if that is lower IRL I average ~26 in my WRX according to the carputer, so I'll take 10mpg one way or another. The fuel gauge barely moved for 90 miles.
The car is so hilariously easy to shift in comparison to the WRX. The clutch is like air and I could shift with baby fingers.
I made sure to do a couple donuts in the Viper yesterday to even myself out!
Time to clean up / sell the WRX now
OP:
So I've been looking to offload my '10 WRX for a Legacy lately. Gas bills stink and all I do is highway mileage. Plus I have the Viper now for fun times.
Found an '11 Legacy Premium(heated seats required) with 55k on it w/ 6 speed manual. Price is about book, $12.5k. The WRX is a hoot but I have close to 150k on it since I bought it new. I'd be sad to see it go whenever I go to sell it to some dumb kid.
I guess I'm getting old or something..
