Dave643 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Greetings - Long time member looking for buying advice - I have to replace my old friend Rubie the Subie - Love this old car and was heading for 300,000 miles (made it to 287,000) but a run in with a deer on the way to work this week changed my plans... So - Looking for a replacment, something in the 10 year old range - anything out there i should avoid??? What's going to be the most bang for my buck? Thanks!

matt167 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 About a 2006-2007 Impreza or forester 2005 to 2008 will be a great vehicle within those requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) still expect external hg leaks as on my 05 outback. Not nasty internal leak mixing oil with coolant, it just seeps oil externally, so do hgs at next tb interval using turbo gaskets as recommended on usmb..

LOL aside, you can't pay much because the HG's have already leaked and been poorly repaired or they are going to leak! On the other hand, the HG repair will only cost $1500-2000 at an indy shop outside of the coasts. Price it with that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
