Dodge Magnum?
While they're still making them, I imagine most Dodge dealers are practically "giving them away" anyways...
Well...thinking of selling it. It's just not as practical for my family. I may have to go SUV or worse yet, mini-van. I have <11,000 miles on it, any one have any idea what I should try to get out of it?
...or a used Mazda 6 Sportwagon would be good.
Bummer. Really?... Wow, that sucks.
What about the regular one?
They're incredibly rare,
I can expect that, but I rarely see the 5 Series Wagons for sale.5-series wagons with all-wheel drive are quite common in the Mountain West where Pako lives... nothing European is probably common in Montana, but in Denver, SLC, the CO mountains, NM... they're around. Much more than the E39
This'll sound strange but... I love the tyre treads, even if the wheels aren't to my taste
I plan on getting some good studded tires for winter driving on my stock wheels.
I really had my eyes set on some OZ Racing wheels, but at $800 ea, it was waaaaaaaaay out of my price range.
I agree with Cody. Studded tires have absolutely destroyed the roads all over Washington. And if you can survive with all-seasons, you'll surely be more than fine with regular snow tires. For a lot of the country, studs are illegal and we get by just fine, aside from the idiots who don't realize that you can't go regular freeway speed on an ice rink.
I'm looking for a spec.B myself. The STI drivetrain and other goodies are easily worth the premium in my opinion.
I think it's time for a little drop, eh?
www.legacygt.comRalliTEK installed their new lowering springs and it transformed the car. The car is MUCH more responsive now, reacting much more quickly to steering inputs. Pitch and squat (in my opinion a major weakness on the stock struts) have been significantly reduced with these springs. It no longer feels like your grandpa’s Buick when you accelerate or brake hard. We took the car through some aggressive corners on wet roads, and were VERY impressed with the results. Upgrading the tires from RE92s helped the overall feel of the car, but I never felt comfortable driving the car beyond 7/10ths. With the RalliTEK springs in place I was able to confidently grind through some high-g cornering that finally allowed the new tires to prove their worth. I know that a common concern of GT owners is how a suspension upgrade will affect the ride quality of the car. People often complain about how their car crashes over bumps when they pair the stock struts with a lower, more aggressive spring. That does not appear to be a concern with these springs. I went out of my way to hit every pothole in sight, and the car absorbed bumps without jarring us. More importantly, the car is better able to maintain its composure over uneven surfaces with these springs. The chassis seems to stay planted and not fall prey to oscillation. The stock struts have 38k miles on them, and felt absolutely great matched with these springs.
Ok, so I keep hearing this from members here as well as real life friends, "now you need a drop". So here I am looking at RaliTEK's springs for my Legacy. This will a provide a 1.1" drop on the front and a .9" drop in the back, but more importantly, improve ride and handling of the car.

I guess at $62.50 wheel, or $250 for the set, it seems reasonable to get these. Next question is do I try to install them myself, or someone else do it for me...
