The attraction is the Japanese-market GT-B combination of a twin-turbo EJ20R and a five-speed manual in a Legacy wagon body. Texas JDM lists 127,496 kilometers, approximately the stated 79,222 miles, and says it fitted tires and a battery and changed the oil and filter.

Inspection priorities and evidence gaps

These are inspection prompts for the listed equipment and age—not a claim that this vehicle has a defect or that a problem is common. “Not stated” means the listing does not establish that the item has been addressed.

Who should shortlist it

An enthusiast with access to a specialist familiar with Japanese-market twin-turbo Subarus and the time to establish a maintenance baseline.

What Waghoon could not verify

The chassis number and timing-belt history are not published. Request the title, export documentation and service history. Recent tires, a battery and an oil change do not establish turbo-system or engine condition. Waghoon has not independently inspected this vehicle. Confirm current availability and arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection before money changes hands.
