I buy recently a second hand 2008 OB. My original warranty just came at this term. It is a good choice to consider a extended one? I know that the reliability of this car is good so? But Subaru's maintenance and the parts are expensive. Higher millage will come to so I don't know exactly what kind of problems i'll get?

an '08 H6 is one of the cheapest-to-maintain Outbacks in the past decade... not a lot goes wrong in those.

That's not to say that you couldn't rack up a big bill with it, but I'd think a warranty to be less necessary on that specific year/model/engine than just about anything else they've made.

Thanks! That's I heard too.

What are the most common repairs I can expect to change or fix? The most expensive per example?

When I bought my 05 OBXT from a used car lot I did. It was an extra $2200. Warranty Solutions. They are part of Wells Fargo. So far they paid to have the following fixed at a Subbie dealer. Radiator, control arm bushings, axles, valve cover gaskets. I have an appointment this week for tie rods, leaky oil cooler, and a possible leaky oil line for the turbo. I try to group it all up cause of the $100 deductible. I gonna run it to the end of September when it expires. Than Ill granny it around. Good luck

An XT is at the opposite end of the scale from the H6. With the added complication of a turbo, an extended warranty is a wise choice on that model.

Thanks Mr Lowwill! Its for this kind of problems that I consider a extended warranty…

Its true that the H6 and the XT are two different engine. I read that boxter's engine has been updated in 2007 so a good amount of problems are settled now.

But warranty for warranty, my Subaru dealer offer me a third party plan :
48 months / 80 000 KM for 1740$ (100$ deductible / 5000$ max. claim)...

Anyone else have good (or bad) experience with third party warranty (really insurance) providers for their used cars not eligible for SOA's extended warranty?

I'm considering one for a used 2014 Limited with 70k miles I recently purchased. I'm looking into EasyCare, Endurance, Warranty Direct, and AA Auto Protection.
