I am looking at an MY00 turbo wagon this afternoon and was hoping for a few tips on what to look out for.

The car is 80k, full scooby history but...is there anything I should be aware of...cambelt changes, big ends falling off, wiper motors, clutches, gearboxes etc etc.

any help greatly appreciate by the uninitiated.

Thankyou

 

have a look here sidc faq
for some info . Check silly little things like all the switches/electrics work , trim isn't broken etc as these can be a bit flimsy .

more general info here also subaru information
Oh and don't expect the paint to be perfect on the front end after 80k ...not their strong point

My00 has done 80K just had new clutch,But only advise i can offer for ya mate is listen for grindin/rubbin noise from rear,Both wheel bearings have just been replaced on mine to the tune of £486 (ouch!)

 

Cheers for the advice Lads. I know these things are fairly robust as long as they have been well serviced.

Thanks a lot
