ok , I saw and drove the car today . It seems to be mechanically sound . All fluids are very clean (Tranny , diff ,oil ,antifreeze,) there are no visible leaks ,all cv boots are good . The interior is clean , all widows and sunroof operate nice . There are 2 nice dings in pass. rear door and the wheels are pitted up real bad . The rest of the body is clean for 10 years old .It does not have the air suspension but it seems to need rear shocks . The engine runs real smooth and the tranny shifts smooth . It does not have the fog lights . Im going to offer him 3000.00 . What do you think ? Rich....

thanks , I dont think it has the pneumatic suspension . I check it out tomorrow though . How can I tell ? Did you see the pictures , I sent you a private message with pics and more info on the car ....Thanks ,Rich.....

Ron , I ran the carfax report , the mileage is correct and its a one owner car. It was traded in at a dealership and the guy selling it is a private dealer . The car looks dealer maintained ,it even has a subaru battery ...

Ron , thanks for the info ... The car is very clean and the fact that it is a Lsi with all the options is nice . I think I can get it for 3500 . How does that price sound ? Seems a little low (for my area anyway) Rich.....

Hello , I was looking to buy a used Outback but all the Headgasket problems on the 2.5 engine made me not want one . I found a really nice Legacy 1995 LSi with 101,000 on the clock super clean . My question is do the 2.2 liter engines have the same headgasket problems as the 2.5 ? Are there any issues with the 2.2 I should look for ? Thanks .......Rich

Hello everyone , ive been a VW person for 12 years . I have always wanted a Subaru . I have a 1 year old and our 2001 Jetta is way to small , back seat is rediculously small ! (Just sold it today) . I put a deposit on a 99 Outback with cold weather package ,cd , automatic, with 70k miles . This is a one owner car (it was traded back to the dealer) I ran it through car fax ,all OK. I talked the dealer down to 9000.00 (around here on Long Island its a good price) We ran the vin through the service dept . and at 53k the timing belt was done the master cylinder was replaced and engine oil pump / o-ring . Since im buying it from a dealer (North Coast Subaru Glen Cove NY) they are going over the whole car sevice want needs to be done and NYS inspection and giving me a 2 month 20000 mile bumper to bumber warranty . This is our first AWD vechicle . I heard the head gaskets fail on this year . Should I stay away from this year ? Can I expect this car to be reliable and last 5 more years ? How can I tell if the headgasket has been replaced ? What is the reliability on the AWD and tranny systems .I read the reviews on edmunds.com and some people love it and some people have big problems . Just need some opinions from real Subaru owners .. Thanks..
