Parking at a local watering hole. The owner (a friend) had dumped a pile of dirt and all the parking spots were taken so I parked here. Best winter car I have ever owned. I bought it with 149,000 miles on the clock. It has 181,000 today. I just changed the front half shafts for $75 ea lifetime warranty from Parts America because they were making a racket. Here I came in on a train (I'm an engineer) and found it in my parking spot at the depot.  We don't need no stinking shovel!  Anyhow I test drove a replacement recently. A clean 1997 Legacy wagon (stick) with 135k on the clock. I inspected it and all seems sound. The airbox is even paint pen marked "rear diff oil changed xxxxx miles xx date" One of the front boots is about to split (I can see the tale tale checking in the rubber and mild weeping). The car books for $3850 retail and they are asking $4300. Everything works even the power stuff, good AC etc. He told me that he would go "down" to $4k. Should I bother?

ab0z posted:Tell him $4k sounds good, but you'll need to take the cost of that upcoming repair off the price. that is why he went "down" to $4k from $4300

Between the Outback/Legacy models and the Forrester, which has the highest/best ground clearance? It is my understanding that it is my current understanding that it is the Outback model. Also, here is some very impressive Subaru related video porn (very work safe unless you own a DSM): ken block gymkhana practice
