Subaru Of America Brought This 216k Mile 1990 Legacy For Its Private Collection

A pristine 1990 Subaru Legacy that has been lovingly cared for was recently purchased by Subaru of America after being listed up for sale on Craigslist.

Shortly after the car found its way online, it was quickly picked up by the guys over at Jalopnik. At first glance, you could be excused for thinking the car has never been driven for it has been so well taken care of. However, it actually has 216,000 miles on the clock which is a testament to how well it has been cared for over the years.

The seller purchased the car 14 months ago and put 2,500 miles on it during his ownership and during this time, invested roughly $6,000 into it in a bid to ensure it drove just like it would have when it was new. Parts that were replaced include the struts, control arms, bushings, brakes, clutch, timing belt, water pump, tires, shifter bushings, and speakers. The car has been garaged its entire life, hence why the paint looks as good as it does.

Speaking about the Legacy with Jalopnik, the seller said that the original owner had the car for 28 years and then donated it to a community college. It is not just the exterior of the car that looks superb but also the interior that is clad in tan-colored materials and certainly gives off those 1990s vibes.

The car was listed for $6,800 and writing on the Craigslist auction after the sale, the owner says he received three solid offers at the asking price but he ultimately decided to sell it to Subaru of America that intend on placing it in their private collection in Camden, New Jersey. In its new home, the car will rest in a climate-controlled environment and only be driven to car shows and other events.

The Final Tesla Roadster Built Is Available In Switzerland For Almost $1.5 Million

The final Tesla Roadster built has emerged for sale in Switzerland with an eye-watering price tag of 1.39 million Swiss Francs or about $1.49 million at current exchange rates.

Tesla only ever built 2,500 examples of the Lotus-based Roadster. The most valuable example is probably the first one built but rather than keep it in his collection, Elon Musk instead sent it to space a couple of years ago. As the final Tesla Roadster, this is most certainly the next most valuable and the original owner clearly only ever intended to keep the car and sell it for a profit.

A look at the listing on Car For You reveals the vehicle has never been registered and has spent its life sitting on foam tire pillows in a garage with marble floors. It has just 124 miles (200 km) on the clock and has been routinely plugged into a charger to stop the battery from discharging.

A host of unique touches distinguish this Tesla Roadster from most others. For example, it is finished in a special shade of white and includes a black and white leather interior. It is also equipped with a carbon fiber rear diffuser and a host of carbon interior trimmings, including on the kick plates, door panels, and dashboard. The steering wheel and mechanical handbrake still feature their protective wrapping.

In addition, the open-top model that’s based on the Lotus Elise chassis has a special plaque on the firewall that denotes it is one of just four ‘Roadster Sport Final Four’ examples delivered in Europe and Asia. It also features the signatures of various Tesla staff that helped in its construction.
