February 2, 200620 yr Well, tonight was the night. I hit 250,000 miles on my way home from work in my '95 Legacy wagon. I bought it with 175,000 miles about 2 1/2 years ago. Best $2300 I every spent. In that time I've spent almost squat on actual repairs. Shifter bushings, a wheel bearing, tranny mounting bolts, that's about it. Otherwise, just maintenance - oil, filters, brakes, some seals and a water pump and pullys (just to be safe) while doing a timing belt, wiper blades . . . Hell, I'm on the same Michelin X-1 tires that came with it. 300,000 coming in 2007! Adam

Looking forward to seeing your car make it to the 300k Mercedes used to send you badges to put on your grill when the car reached 100k, 250k, etc. Wonder if Sub has ever done anything like that .
February 3, 200620 yr you have plenty of life left in it. had an 88 subaru that made it to 352000 when it broke on the side of the expressway. i din't have enough money to tow it or fix it so i left it. probably had a lot more left in it
February 3, 200620 yr Unless they have added it recently, Subaru didn't have a recognition program for high mileage vehicles (some Subaru club might, I just don't know, anyone out there know?). My 1993 Legacy wagon just turned over 236,000 last night. Mercedes used to send you badges to put on your grill when the car reached 100k, 250k, etc. Wonder if Sub has ever done anything like that .
February 3, 200620 yr Are these all hwy miles? If so, this translates to like ~125000 city miles, that is also impressive.
February 3, 200620 yr Author Mostly highway miles. My daily commute is about 30 miles each way, and 24 are on the interstate. I also visit the parents about once a month, which is about 200 highway miles away. Are these all hwy miles? If so, this translates to like ~125000 city miles, that is also impressive.
