I tried to save a step and go right to the auto parts store on the way home from work. But to no avail - so I cut a large peice out and took it in for a replacement. All set for now. Doug skitown

Anyone know the hose size, diameter not length, to replace the wiper fluid hose. Mine cracked while I was changing the spark plugs. Thanks for help. Doug skitown

With Shipping - there is not much savings: Hitch Kit: $131 Ball: $10 Wiring Kit: $45 SubTotal: $186 Shipping: $60 - it is heavy! Total: $ 246 source: http://www.hitchesonline.com I'm leaning toward the local purchase and installing myself. The shipping on the product just kills the price savings. Doug

I just called our local dealer regarding hitches: Class 2 hitch package, in stock: $262 Labor: $95 Asked if he would install a hitch I bring in. No problem, same labor if it is correct hitch. Local "Truckstuff & Hitches" company - authorized Drawtite retailer: $149 hitch Model: Part Number: 36234 $45 to install $60 wiring kit $45 to install Total approx $300 Any feed back: Should I save $62 +/- and have a dealer do my install???

If you are 6'4" - stick with the Outback - the extra couple inches in the roof line will be appriciated... I am a bit cramped when I drive, but it is only noticible when I ride in a different car: Explorer, Mini-vans, larger pick up trucks, ets. In Colorado - there are Subaru Outbacks at every corner and in every parking lot. They have an excellent reputation here. Good milage and with snow tires, excellent in the snow. Skitown

I'm not an expert on price.. but here are my two cents.. I like to look at cars.com for price comparison. You can compare the Subaru to other similar vehicles in other areas of the country. I have noticed that the Subarus are cheaper on the east coast and higher up here in the rockies. If you are not tall - I'm 6'2" - then the regualar legacy is often times cheaper. Best of luck.

If it is cheap, well maintained, clean... My '96 Subaru w/ 108,000 miles and has had the following major fixes: Replaced timing belt Replaced rear struts/shocks Otherwise - it is running strong and I expect it to for some time.

The new board looks and functions great. Thank you for providing the service. Anyone have any experience pulling a small camping trailer? doug skitown
