Thanks again. Going to do a bit of shopping. See what's out there. The good information you folks have provided will help me a lot. A Baja would be cool, but have only seen one. As far as the transmissions, how are the autos? Are the manuals a better option? Brad

Thanks for the great info. I have had Volvo,Toyota, Mazda as well as domestic makes over the years, but never a Subaru. What years had the H engines? Any car before 97? Are the H6 hard to find? Is it better to go with a lower miles E engine car then a higher miles H? How hard are interior parts, switches etc to find? I currently have an 86 Mazda b2000 with 396000 miles. Parts are getting hard to find for it. No real wrecking yards here. When replacing head gasket, do you normally just replace it or do you usually have to have a valve job done too? Any other problem areas to look at? Thanks again Brad

Hi Looking to purchase a used wagon/suv. Need information on differences between the Legacy, Outback and Forester. Also what issues I should look for or be aware of on vehicles with 150000 - 200000 plus miles. Been searching, but not sure about what would be the best option for my family. We live off grid and need a vehicle with a bit of ground clearance. Any info and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Brad
