Thanks a lot legacy7777 for the informative reply and and for the great advice!

maybe this comes up a lot, but i am new. I am thinking about purchasing a used subaru from the mid-90s. Now my mechanic says that subaru are great and theyll be the last car you ever buy, but parts and repairs cost a ton. I can't really afford to drop 500 or a 1000 on a used car so thats a problem if something goes wrong with the car (most of the cars ive looked at have at least 150,000 miles on them). I currently live in california, but am moving to portland oregon soon and wanted to know if problems like these are only regional. I know like 85% of the population in the northwest (washington, oregon) have subarus. So are subarus just generally a hassle to repair financially, or is that just the case in middle california? Thanks
