My old Subaru is getting rather leggy with some minor faults cropping up after 137,000 miles, so with great sadness, it was time to go shopping last week (or at least spend a brain-numbing amount of time looking through Gumtree).
This is what I bought home today;
One owner, FSH, 86,000 miles and a bit grubby inside (as you can tell from the pictures) after 11 years of shuttling kids around Woking.
Needs a cambelt soonish, front pads and a slight wanderiness in the steering sorting, but other than that drives very well. Taking a bit of a gamble as it's an auto and they can be troublesome in these, but at the price I paid, it's well worth the risk.
Driving it home it's like steering a comfy sitting room. Managed an average of 32 mpg which may well be the highest I'll see....
