Hi everybody! Long time no talk! I moved to Colorado and sold my WRX (finally!). I have about $3-4k to spend on a new Subaru. Anybody have advice on whats good and bad in this price range? Any input is appreciated!

 

Forester XT FTW.

 

those are quite a bit more than 3-4k.

I would look for a an outback wagon of some sort for colorado. It snows a lot, that ground clearance will be good

 

ooh woops. i didnt read it right, I thought he said down payment.

 

Every car out here is dented so I want something cheap with no payments so when somebody smacks it I won't get too pissed!

 

Id love to find an old impreza wagon, I know they are cheaper in CO too, sure you can find one for under 4K

 

Older Impreza Wagon should be pretty nice and inexpensive Older Forester should also be around that price range, hehe.

 

A $3K-$4K Suby? ~ It will have more issues then Bush has brain cells!

 

^^not quite. my ex girlfriend bought a late 80's GL wagon for about 900 with 200k miles and its been running for 2 years now since then and it has probably 250k miles.

so your saying it wont have many issues, awesome!

 

Well... at least YOU got it!

 

finally gone and finally got rid of the car...Finally

 

I have looked at a couple 96-99 Impreza wagons, but was nervous about their 200k odometers. But is that not too bad? I drove a 99 Legacy 5 speed sedan too but didn't like the transmission. It seemed sloppy. I'm not sure if I was just too spoiled by my WRX! The good Suby's go fast out here, and the others usually haven't sold for a reason!

 

We bought a '98 Forester off Craigslist last year with 153k on the odo for a mere $1500. The interior was torn up from the previous owner's dogs and she just wanted to dump it. We swapped in WRX seats & suspension and replaced the window weatherseals, and it was good to go. It has now over 190k miles and still keeps on ticking as a daily driver/corner carver. I'll give it another 100k easily. Old Subies ftw!
