Default 48 and just bought my 1st Subaru

Hi Guys

Had loads decent cars back in the day, Mk1 RS2000's, Mk2, RS3100 and 2.8i Capri's..... Met the missus and it all went downhill (j/k)


Anyway I had my eye on this for a few weeks, 12 years old.... The last 8 years it has done 3000 miles per year, 55,000 on the clock....


The local dealer I bought it from was selling it on behalf of a customer, so still waiting on logbook and paperwork, hopefully some nice service history in there also, 2 owners in the same little village from new....


Anything I should be looking out for ? It really is like new inside and out !


Cheers

Depends what it's had and when.

Personally every time I buy a car I like to try and give it a full service so I know where I am.

Oil, Oil filter, air filter, fuel filter as a start.

Coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, gearbox oil, rear diff oil, aux belts, cam belt, spark plugs etc.. Depending on history
