Legacy Outback Limited fully loaded leather power everything, cd player. Knows it'sown way to Canaan Valley. Only 90K miles. Easily has another 90K left. Everything works. It has driven throough every king of weather Dolly Sods can throw at it. It is the ultimate snow car and gets good mileage too.
I'd consider getting a second Outback because my first one is like yours, has been through every bit of weather that can be thrown at it and STILL survive as if nothing happened.
It is a 99 wagon with automatic and dual sunroofs. I don't think you could get the LMTD w/manual. The biggest and most important thing the LMTD has going for it versus the regular Outbacks, is that it has a rear slip differential so that power can shift from side to side as well as front to back.
