Does anyone have an alternative for a service/repair manual for an 01 OB? The dealer wants $500 and the subscription seems rather high as well. Is there anything else out there?

Have you tried eBay? It usually has run me $10-60 for repair manuals for my vehicles when buying them on eBay and that is for the factory service manuals. Chilton's or Hayne's books usually for $20 or less, including shipping.

Since I see you are in Seattle - try the King County library system

www.kcls.org

 

I have a 1993 Legacy L and they have the factory manuals for that car and I believe many others - the down side is you can't check them out so plan on sitting and reading, finding what you want and photocopy away.

 

I haven't checked the Seattle Public Library system.

Let me look, I might have a set of Factory Service Manuals for an 01 Legacy (which includes OutBacks). Most of the ones that I have are new to slightly used. Send me a PM.

Yep, I've got a like new 2001 FSM set (just dust from sitting around) for $275, that is for all 8 books plus three suppliments (auto tranny, mech functions, 6 cylinder).
