Hocrest Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Congratulations!!! I had my next major milestone set at 200,000 miles planned for sometime next fall. But now I can look forward to being multicultural and celebrating this spring when I hit 300,000 km. You just have to love that Subaru 2.2 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archemitis Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 i think the only reason they die is poor treatment. i just took a motor out of a wagon with 204k miles on it, and would have no problem putting it in another car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commuter Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 97 Outback... ~227,000 miles (365,000 km). Second engine though :-\ Still only half way to what I put on my 85 Civic over 14.5 years... And that was one engine, never opened, and original clutch. Commuter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adge_082 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 i have a subaru 1600, 70's model wagon, original motor, dont know about the clutch and what not though. It has now done 1,195,000 km's and still runnning. Its burning a lot of oil these days, but hey it can consume as much as it likes as far as im concerned, its more than earned it. Even survived hitting a kangaroo at 110kph, this car refuses to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applegump Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 300,000 km is also my next milestone! Now at 225,000 km and going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiiga Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm at 106,000 on my '95 Legacy. Just getting broken in! 40,000 of that was since I got it just about two years ago, but I'll probably be moving to Texas (2,000 miles one-way) and traveling back home to Kansas often from there (1,000 miles round trip from Dallas), so it won't be long. Entire list of problems: -Clutch needed to be replaced at 90,000 due to an oil leak and my not knowing how to drive a manual when I got it. -Something or other wrong with an axle from sliding sideways into a curb after a Kansas ice storm.

86subaru Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 219,000 mi on my dl fwd manual wagon ,which i just bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Well done, 'Crest! I have sold my Legacy, at 309k KM. Reluctantly, though. I wanted to sell it while it still held some value, and also pass on a car in very good condition, that will serve it's next owner faithfully. I do too many miles, and would have caught up to many major repairs within the next year. New owner won't reach those before the poor thing rusts away. My replacement is a four year old Impreza, which had done just 40k miles when I bought it...only 45 now, two months later. Newer, and shinier it may be, but it doesn't have the lovely sound of an unburstable EJ22 :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
