Hey I was wondering if I could get some second opinions from yall. I plan on purchasing one of these two cars, and cant decide which is the better option. Here are the details:
-98 Subaru Legacy, 2.2L, 240k miles, newer trans/head gaskets/timing belt, very well maintained.
VS
-98 Outback, 2.5L, 185k miles, newer head gasket/timing belt, original trans, also very well maintained.
Both are automatic, and being offered for $2000. I know the 2.2 is much more reliable, but is 240k too much miles?? The 2.5 has much less miles and the head gasket replaced, but is the trans likely to go out soon? I can't make a decision. Any thoughts??
