Wow..never knew that.. Makes since though..never had a turbo car.. Let me ask u this then.. Since I'm waiting I know I'll probably miss the 05 forester xt.. So I'm probably going after what I really want an 08ish impreza wrx hatchback...I think it looks great.. I saw a post that its recommended to ngk plugs (always do except on my Chevy) and now I know to synthetic..any specific brand? Also, any tips for that model know issues...etc. Edit:I found a kit from rock auto know of any luck? http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=5785026&cc=1430727

Yes..sorry it an xt.. And y run full synthetic? I've owned a 79 Chevy and an 99 Isuzu amigo never ran sy thetic...was always told not needed..

The car looks great but the high miles concern me.. Like someone said turbo might have an issue and will probably need a new timing belt VERY soon.. I've decided to wait. I'm working on a home loan first then will go back to vehicle find.. Thanks for the input guys!

It did actually talked with the people in going to lend from decided to wait..simply cuz I'm trying to buy a house and the cones first! I'll post when I do get my Subaru!!

OK...I'll give them a call they didn't pop up in my search and I was also hoping someone around the area would see it and say something..lol

No..lol this is what it put instead "Its in to me to oh." Ment to say teleto Ohio.

No..I want it looked at around where I'm.buying it..before I do. And thank u..didn't know where else to post it.thanks. Edit:I see why u said Marion..autocorrect...gotta love it.. Its in toleto Ohio.

Looking at possibly getting an 05 forester with 195k miles. I know I'll need a mechanic to take a look at it.. Its in to me to oh.. Anyone recommend a good mechanic that could look at it to make sure its sound. (Prefer a subaru cert.) Body looks good but looks can b deceiving.. It's also at a dealer. But I don't trust them..I'd u know what I mean. Thanks!

That's a god point.hadn't thought of that the car is at a dealer but I've never bought one from a dealer so I didn't know I could have it inspected..I'll look into tat after tomorrow meeting with someone about a loan..thanks!

OK thanks.. I don't know if I'd b able to or not..simply cuz I've never worked on a Subaru. I don't mind doing it just that big if a task first..

OK.. The vehicle I'm looking at is in Ohio..idk where a mechanic is..let's say I get it and its lose.. What dies that mean..need a new one? And do u know what the ruff cost of a timing belt change is?

While I'm thinking kfnit.. I'm looking at an 05 forester xt. But it has 196k miles but looks to b in really great shape. Only 6500.. Is it a good deal or no.. Also, its almost 200k how long r the boxer engines known to b good for?!

Well, thanks for all the info..I've got a lot of thinking to do I'll probably have to go with a bit newer simply cuz I'll have to take a loan.. But its good to know I'm choosing the right maufature! Lol

Wow...awesome.. Makes me want one even more... But that also brings up another question (and I appricate everyones answered so far) is the new systems (like what I'm looking for 05-08ish as good?! Or are they better/worse? Just wanting to know reliability of new vrs old cuz I like the looks of the newer stuff better lol.

Thanks for the imput..if u don't mind me asking what part of Indiana? My main thing is I don't want to spend 12k + on a vehicle simply because I ride my motorcycle most of the time..unless I have my daughter (pick up from baby sitter or quick errands)..but I've also got to think if I get a new vehicle I'm probably looking at $170-200 car payment plus insurance AND gas..lol I'd love to have one been thinking of it for a while.. I may get one and just leave snow tires on it..I'll only b driving it when snow/rain/ welcome to Indiana its effin cold.. Lol And if you don't mind me asking what do you have?

OK thanks.. At least its a point in the right direction..

I'd love to find something around 04-05 simply because its a bit cheaper..can I get a 05 turbo forester?

I'd LOVE to get a diesel.. Soo much better mog and more options..I think.. Hell if I had the $$ I'd import it.. And thanks for the site I'll look it up I haven't found anything to point me in the right direction everything I was finding kept pointing me back to the sedan.. I'm not saying its bad..just not for me..too use to SUVs and trucks. Main reason I'm looking is cuz I live in Indiana and don't want to give up 4x4 but need better mpg I drive 50iles a day for work and I'm getting between 14.5-15.8 mpg (have a tire that keeps leaking) even put on manual locking hubs and it helped a bit was around 12-13 but still..

So if I understand correctly.. Its the impreza 07-2012?

Gotta b a family car.. Have a 7 month old.

OK...guess u didn't under stand what I was talking about...let me clarify.. I don't want the full GPS back up camera all that spoob inside if the vehicle turbo etc is fine.. Trying to find something that looks like the car in the video I think it looks great but I cannot find what kind of car it is.. I did see it showed the name but it looks like thats only a euro car..trying to find something similar fr the USA version..

Ok, I am new to this site, long story short. I don't own a Subaru...yet... I'm looking at getting one. I've looked at a lot of them, I don't want to get a new one. Simply because I'm a firm beliver in keep the tech out of my vehicle (more stuf to go wrong). I don't mind having some, but the biggest challenge to me is i'm use to the suv size.. I own a 99 isuzu amigo. Like I said I've looked at alot of vehicles one of them that cought my eye was a '04 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. But I don't like the look of the wing.. or the 15k price tag. Here's a link that I LOVE the look of the vehicle but I don't know what it is please point me in the right direction!! (I'm also thinking of in the furture doing mods to it for more HP but it's gotta have some get up and go!) Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49tIqdNzUPw
