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 |

QUOTE(911quest @ Apr 16 2007, 11:57 AM)  the only thing you really need to watch is tire diameter they need to stay within 1/8 inch circumfrince of each other or you can burn out the transfer clutch or the visciuos coupling on the manual cars. Please elaborate! My auto trans slips a little and I am keeping my fingers crossed it hangs in there another year....Could this have been caused by low tire pressures or miss-matched tires by PO? I've got newish Michelins with lots of life on there now. My 1999 Outback wagon rocks. Sure, it's 1999 DOHC, slight slip in the auto tranny, but compared to my old Volvo wagon it is quick and nimble (not compared to my 914). GET SERVICE HISTORY! I chose the one I bought because it had DEALER 100,000 and 120,000 mile check-ups with replacement of timing belt and water pump (both NEED 100K replacing), new rotors, pads, tires, cherry interior, 2 sunroofs, tinted windows, leather, CD......the 2000 SOHC cars were all >$8-10k, and mine was $7500 with 125K miles.
