Thanks guys! My Internet was down this weekend so had to wait to get back to work to check your replies.
Your sentiments echo what I have heard here from locals. The local Suby "expert" does not even want to give it a checkup - says it is "yard art" without even seeing. Others have said that the ea71 is the most reliable engine Subaru ever made & the car will be very reliable & easy to maintain... go figure.
I have alway felt a solid older vehicle is the way to go. I have owned 74 VW bus, 75 BMW 2002, 84 Toy 4runner, 88 Toy Landcruiser, & currently own 88 VW Syncro Vanagon 4x4, 90 vanagon gl....... so.. no stranger to older cars. Just want to get opinions on reliability & parts availability.
PS: Anyone verify that Toluene works on the windows?
Thanks again, Caleb
