oakland suburu

thanks so much for the helpful feedback. my last question (for now)...any advice on finding a safety rating for that year? my attempts on GOOGLE haven't found anything useful. Thanks again, Oakland Sube

Hello and thanks in advance for any advice, I love my 92 suburu legacy station wagon. It has 175k, and let's say shows its years...besides the less than perfect body, it has an oil leak that i was told a while ago not to fix as it would cost too much. It doesn't leak fast, i just have to check once in a while. I would guess it would burn as fast at this point. anyway, i took it in today for an oil change, and i do need 4 new tires and a new muffler. The husband (who drives a 2000 impreza) has been urging me to stop fixing this car (not that i've put any real maintanance money in). I want to get the new tires and muffler, all of which would be about 600-700$ total. he thinks the car's gonna go soon, i say it's got at least 50k left (i'm on my third clutch, due to city driving in SF where i no longer live). we are expecting a baby in june, so questions of safety and reliability become more important. all input appreciated, Oakland Sube
