My 2007 Outback Sport SE is on its last legs, after being hit on almost every vertical surface since it was 6 months old, plus little things just not working any more.
Due to a land sale, I'm going to have about $20,000 to spend on a car. I really like the OBS, which Subaru stopped making in 2012. I test drove a Crosstrek and it seemed like a larger vehicle, much like a Forester, and I didn't like it. The OBS feels like a smaller car.
I've been looking at the 2012 OBS with CVT and they seem to be within my budget. I'm planning on buying from a dealer and negotiating for as much warranty as I can get, maybe 3 years.
Is there anything specific I should be looking at on an OBS with about
50K miles?Are there any issues with that model year?
Anything I need to have the dealer check before I put down my money?
