Re: Put the $$ into it

I've put my share of wheel bearings transmissions, etc into it. My baby runs like new after the work just completed. It now has 197,000 on the ticker and I don't think there is a safer car (other than maybe a Checker Marathon) on the road.
The key is finding someone who knows Subaru's to do the work, that is, if you can't do it yourself.

I agree with Clyde. For 6K he got a new luxury coupe with genuine funny windows. The alternative might be a Lexus coupe for 40K, but the windows are normal (boring). This should be a no brainer.
