The more I drive this car the more I like it, up until now I've driven mainly domestics and never had the feel that the people making them thought about the owner working on them, it just seems that alot more common sense goes into making soobs as compared to say a chevy, that being said I've got the guy I bought the car from working on getting a maintenance printout, he bought it just to sell from a one owner. I checked the oil and cant find any trace of coolant, and it still stays good on temp so I've got my fingers crossed that im safe for now. Yesterday though it did something funny, it just randomly died while I was coasting over some train tracks and the check engine light came on, but I didnt even stop I just turned the key off and stared it back up and it ran fine the engine light went off about an hour later (not continuous driving it sat for probably 45 mins) not sure what to make of that though. Also havent had any more clutch pedal issues.

Thanks thats very helpful, the temp stays good when its warmed up, right around the middle so hopefully im in fairly good shape. As for a history from the previous owner I'm not sure but I think it was a one owner car, a friend of my dad found it for me idk the previous owner personally but it shouldnt be too hard to find. Thanks guys!

Just bought a 99 outback and was needing some ideas for aftermarket parts, I think it would look good with a bull bar on the front and maybe some black rims and all terrain tires but thats all I can think of. I need ideas please help!

Hmm that kinda scares me, im not sure what shape the HG's are in I just got in it and now its not even doing it its fine, is there an easy way to find out if they need replaced or would I have to tear it apart and look? In which case I should probably replace them once its apart anyways right?

Just bought a 99 legacy wagon 5 spd, 160k, great interior for $3000 I'm new to subaru (and this forum) but I love the car so far, I guess my question is did I get a decent deal and should I be worried that sometimes the clutch pedal doesn't come all the way back up without help? So far thats the only issue.
