Hey all -

 

My roomie is looking at potentially buying a 2000 OBS MT w/ 60K on it. Dealer wants 10K, but he thinks he can talk them down to 9k.

 

I told him he needs to look for the standard Subie stuff - ie. matching tires, torque bind, etc. If I'm not mistaken, this is the 2.2L engine, is it not? So it should be due for a timing belt, right?

 

Anything else he should be looking out for?

 

If he tells me he's serious about making an offer, I'll probably be back to see if anyone with a Carfax subscription would be willing to help out, but he's still shopping at the moment. Thanks.

After like 97 or so even the 2.2L's are 105k mile interval I believe. You can find out for sure in the 'owners' section on Subaru.com where they have the maintenance intervals.
