I've been offered the chance to buy a '95 Outback wagon with:
154K miles
automatic transmission replaced two years ago
new belts
new valve cover gasket
non-working gas gauge
back hatch that doesn't open with key.
Asking price is $3,675 OBO
I have no previous experience with Subarus at all. Would appreciate any and all advice anyone is willing to offer on the following questions:
Is the asking price reasonable?
What's the cost/hassle involved with fixing the problems with the gas gauge and back hatch?
What is the life expectancy for the car with reasonable regular maintenance? Is this a car we can expect to get another 100K-150K miles out of?
Any other problems/defects associated with this model/year we should look out for?
Any specific questions we should be asking about the car's performance or maintenance history?
