Hello everyone
I just bought a 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback with 86,000 well looked after miles. It is a wagon and it is fully loaded with the exception of leather and CD. I paid $10,000 US (hope I didn't pay too much). I bought the car because I have heard so many good things about it and being a former 4 time AMC Eagle owner it reminded me so much of my Eagle Wagons. I am very impressed with the car and it seems to come with so many little goodies that a lot of other cars don't. It sure is peppy for a 4 cyclinder (even more so than V6 domestic cars I have owned).
My questions are :
- Can this thing be serviced at a regular Garage (Joe's garage etc). or does it have to go to the Subaru dealer and are they expensive?
- Are parts hard to get and expensive? The car was built in Indiana but does that make the parts American made etc?
- Will this car get me 300,000 + miles like the other Japanese cars? (I have an old toyota with 488,000 on the same motor never been rebuilt)
- Can anyone offer me any tips or advice for my future ownership of this vehicle?
Any comments are greatly appreciated
thank you
