ok its time for me to get a new to me Subie for commuting to work. I have been driving a 1994 Legacy wagon 2.2 4eat it has 201,000 and has been a great car, but i have a teenager needing a car so I am going to hand it down to him and get something newer, this is what I have im looking at; 1998 Legacy Outback Limited, it has the 2.5 4eat combo and is in overall mint condition, it has 108,000 miles. I know the person who has owned this car since 60,000 miles. so I reasonably know its service history. It has had religious oil changes and all service needed. It has just had the cv axles done and water pump timing belt done. It has NOT had head gasket problems as of yet. I can pick it up for $4000 the next is a 2001 outback ll bean with 3.0 4eat combo 128,000 miles this looks to be in great shape it has the h6 so no timing belt and as far as i know no head gasket issues with this motor,I do understand they can be leakers but its at a dealer so service history I dont know its also $6500 the money I dont worry too much, I am leaning on the 01 3.0l. I am more concerned about best deal for the money the 2001 id assume will be less likely to have trouble but its 2500 more for more miles s help me decide share opinions thanks
