Anyone in FL [Tampa area] looking for a reliable wagon/utility vehicle to move motors, rims, and gearboxes around? Or a platform to instruct someone in the finer art of operating a manual transmission [without risking a 924/944/968 clutch]?

This could be the ticket. Asking $1500/obo.

Well maintained, relatively fun to drive [after changing out all the shifter bushings], and a surprisingly heel/toe-friendly pedal cluster.

Maintenance history and int/ext photos can be found at:

Thanks for looking.

A few months back I bought a 97 Legacy as my 944 support vehicle.
I am VERY pleased with it...everything works, at 195k miles, no issues whatsoever, comfy, good MPG...and it makes the 944 feel SO FAST by comparison

Whoever buys this car will like it.

+1 on Subarus as 944 support vehicles. Good friend has a Forester and he's called it the 944 support vehicle on more than one occasion.

Haha...nice one, Spencer.

Is yours an AT or MT? The 5-sp, and surprisingly sporty OE exhaust, give the illusion of relative speed. Have never timed 30-60, or 60-100...might do that, for grins, when I'm back down in a few weeks.

Michael, while the trunk of a 944 can hold a lot of stuff [reference your "toolbox tie-down" thread and the pic Arominus provided from his last road trip], it's nice to have a vehicle that can carry things without having to worry [much] about interior damage.

I've carried rims, tires, engines, and gearboxes in the back of my 944, but even with extra carpet, padding, and care, loading and unloading larger items takes its toll on int/ext wear and tear.

EJ25D 4-speed auto.
0-60 takes place on a calendar.

But it came with several years of recent service history, and it has carried a complete 944S engine in the back already without issue...
