The price is good - the seller is my sister - she has all the records for the vehicle and is the original owner. Unfortunately, the car is in FL so I can't really take a look at it myself.
I travel about 60 miles R/T 40 on the highway, 5 days a week for work.
My fear is that the head is going to start leaking while I'm on the highway, and by the time I can get the car off to the side of the road the engine will be damaged. I had that problem with a Toyota Cressida once and I was not a happy camper afterwards.
My alternative is sticking with my 95 Toyota Corolla wagon, which, on the surface (with 110000 miles) is a bit more maintenance free.
In the 110K I've had the following "unusual" stuff replaced
1. A/C @ 40,000
2. Starter Motor at 100,000
The following maintenance repairs have been done to it:
1. Struts at 90,000
2. Two brake jobs
3. Belts (including timing)
So, this maintenance has not been bad - should I expect more with the Subaru?
