ok my car ate itself over the weekend .. really need a cheap reliable car that is 4 door for the young'uns... I know there are a few subarus fans here .. .how many miles is pushing my luck with a suby... I recall being told that after model year 2000 is a better bet ( not sure if that applied to all models though or what the reason behind it was )... don't really care about model either ... I do prefer a wagon though
thanks for the input |
