Hey,
I am contemplating getting a 1998 subaru outback wagon, some idiot just totaled my precious 740 turbo wagon which just was completely serviced top to bottom 30,000 ago. I have always owned volvos and have been intrigued by the new subaru wagons. I have been reading around and it looks as though they cannot take the miles like volvos seems as though they blow head gaskets and have to be rebuilt around 130,000 miles? What can you tell me about this? My current turbo wagon just passed 160,000 before it was mamed, and my previous 240 made it over 250,000 when I was forced to get rid of her since the girlfriend would not ride in a car without good working a/c. If I purchase a subaru outback wagon with about 100,000 miles am I buying a almost dead car or one that is just broken in and will give me another 100,000 miles if well maintained and serviced at all seheduled milestones?
I really appreciate any insight you can give me about subaru reliability. I need some reassurance before crossing over to a subaru.
Thanks!
Justin Benz
