[92 4wd Legacy w/175K...how much longer do i have?]

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,

[92 4wd Legacy w/175K...how much longer do i have?]

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,
