| 119489 | 4112 | help picking a new surf vehic | 33 | PeakMaster | Aug 9, 2017 | 2017-08-09T08:40:24-0400 | GearNut said: I think it is funny. I have had six Subarus, most were Outbacks. All went over 300,000 miles and none ever had an oil leak or needed a head gasket. In fact the first one went over 600,000 miles with the original motor, trans and even turbo, but never had to do the head gasket. That said, I changed my oil and filter every 3,000 miles and used quality oil and filter. While I love my Subarus, I don't think I would buy a used one. If you don't take care of them, those aluminum blocks can be a nightmare. But if you are buying new and take care of it, they are hard to beat. I put multiple long boards inside and have as many as eleven on the roof, I will have to look for that picture. Click to expand... I had one. One of the few cars I bought new. 98 Outback. Solid car but for the head gasket ar 90k. Found a guy in PA that only worked on Subarus. Used a Ford F150 and a trailer and would pick your car up, tow it to his place near Reading I think and do the head gasket job.... $1100. Only issue I had with that car...couldn't change all 4 plugs myself as I recall. |
