New to the club...

Hey guys, got myself a 2001 2.5 RS... just wanted to say hi! I was hoping to get a couple questions answered in my other thread . Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and also.. what dealership in Vancouver would you guys consider as the best for their service and parts departments?

They don't?! Since when?

Sooooo... if I buy a Subaru and I live in Coquitlam... that means I gotta go to North Van, Surrey or Richmond to get it repaired or fixed?

i don't get it serviced at dealer... they charge too much. jack up the prices and all. TOTAL is a good shop, but it's in north van... a bit far. but i think it's worth it.

I'm still looking into getting my clutch shudder fixed. Gonna wait till it gets a bit cooler. In my case, it's pretty noticable... Can anyone suggest a good place to pick up a v5 front bumper?

So, if I were to get a used Subaru, it would probably not need to bring it down to a Subaru dealership ? (In other words, they don't have many problems that would require the dealership to order parts and such... except for that clutch shudder thing?)

From what I hear, our cars are very reliable. I believe the only problems lie with the clutch shudder and the rear wheel bearings? scooby experts correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been getting comments about 98 engines blowing up due to header problems (thank for the info, Reckon) and 99s having MAF failures or something like that.

MY99's only have MAF problems if you change your intake. Leave it alone and it is fine.

Really??
I guess it isn't the same with the MY98 where if you leave it alone, it'll be fine? The DOHC 98 head gasket would need a changing eventually?
