I saw this Subaru posted on craigslist and thought it was a great deal. Just emailed the seller as well and plan on looking at it today or tomorrow.

What do you guys think?

Do I have to worry about performing any kind of maintenance?

Is it a good price?


This is the craigslist ad:

2005 SUBARU OUTBACK 3.0 L.L. BEAN EDITION, GREAT CAR!

Just checked Edmunds. Seems like 8K is not an unfair price. My 3.0R has only needed routine maintenance so far but I only have half that mileage. Keep in mind, black is not a color, it's a career. That' s why mine is white.

Go for it. Great shape and good price. Looks honest, but you'll know more once you talk with him.

Gonna check out the car tomorrow...hopefullly its the right one

 

[Dogfather]

Good Luck. Love the H6.

White cars are just as bad as Black cars. I have had both. The car that looked the cleanest was my 94 Taurus with metallic silver paint.

Wasn't talking about dirt. I was referring to the more frequent need for paint correction. I agree silver hides as well as white.

I went to look at the outback this morning and the car is in excellent condition for the year and mileage. He even had a carfax as well. So I went to the bank, took out money and paid him. It drives nice and quiet. Im happy with it, but its for the wife anyways.

Well done. Best of luck!!

Looked like an excellent find! Hard to find used cars that well maintained with full records. I know mine doesn't have nice records like that, but I also know the maintenance was well done, by me

be sure to replace/check the front serpentine bearings. sticky for it on the forum here.

Will do...I just gave it a fresh oil change with amsoil fluid. I will be performing a drain/fill twice with amsoil tranny fluid next weekend, not sure if I should replace the tranny filter.

My dealer wants $35 for it, but the advance auto parts sells the wix tranny filter for $10. Which one should I go with?
