Subaru Outback Usados en Venta

This was the first "nice" car I bought when I was able to afford a car of my choice rather than out of necessity. My family had owned two Subaru's in the past with good results, so I trusted the brand. I wanted to buy a car that would be safe to drive in New England winter weather, and would be comfortable.

This car could be very good, if it wasn't so expensive to fix the many maintenance issues. The car looks great and is styled very well. The interior has quality materials and has held up great. It has nearly 100,000 miles and could run twice as long. It is ideal for winter driving or rough roads.

This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. The four wheel drive makes my weekly trips over Mount Hood a breeze. I would warn potential owners however about some expensive repairs that are particular to Subarus. When I bought the car my friend said asked me if I had the gasket replaced because that is an expensive repair that Subarus often need. I learned what he meant in the last couple of weeks. My radiation blew out first and the engine overheated. That was $850 of repairs. The repair guy said that there could be further problems but maybe we got away with it. The only warning I had was a little light coming on. The mechanic said that Subaru used to have a little panel that showed if your engine was overheating and they replaced it with something that shows MPG and now the only warning you have of a critical situation is the light. To make a long story shot I ended up breaking down in Gresham and needed to get towed to Portland and now have another $2200 of repairs and need a new gasket.
