Subaru Outback winter wagon :)

[JDM]

Yesterday i got my new daily hack and couldn't be happier! Found it on ebay Sunday evening, dropped a cheeky bid not expecting to win the auction, however, by midnight I had a message saying I'd won it!

I chose this car because so many people I've chatted to swear by them and now i see why. It's tough as old boot!

Got the car last night and for what i paid it's simply fantastic! Full of features, very good condition all round, genuine decent honest car with full service and best of all it has LPG! Now all i need is a new shotgun and I'm ready for a bit of winter pheasant shooting!

Plan now is to get the brunt of the winter out the way whilst finding the right Maserati 4200gt and I'll be a super happy.

Good choice. Subaru is much more popular in Oz than the UK, they enjoy a good reputation there for build quality and reliability.

Excellent choice. A set of winter tyres now and it'll go anywhere.

Do you mind giving a ballpark on age and price?

I always liked the scubie outback, good go anywhere estate.

I've covered a few hundred miles effortlessly now, great motorway cruiser and its working out equivalent to 50mpg with the lpg.

It's a w reg 115k miles, very good condition all round, full service... All for £1300.

I bought it mainly as winter is here and I needed a cheap Eco runaround. Between this and a nicer Maser I should have all bases covered.

Problem is I've been looking at 2" suspension lift kits and all terrain tyres!

Crikey JDM, that will finish up looking like a muscle wagon...????

I believe these things are bullet proof, good old tool, will go anywhere, we get them in work from time to time and farmers like em so they do.

Good choice, they are thirsty but yours has LPG so happy days. and best of all they sound awesome flat four engine, I love that sound its yummy.

Subaru do have a diesel four cylinder.........they are also a little thirsty for a diesel but you still get a nice(ish) soundtrack.

They are expensive....hoping they could be had for 2k....

well, after 2 weeks of ownership and heaps of town and motorway miles, it hasn't missed a beat.

Always a risk buying a car on ebay without seeing it first... i took the risk and got it cheap as the seller posted rubbish pictures and a very limited description. I recommend them if you want a tank to beat around in
