is 100k high mileage for a Suburu Imprezza Turbo?? As a rule of thumb what is the sort of mileage that Suburu's usually give up the fight at??

Well some peeps on here are upto and over 170,000 miles

Much of the issue is to do with condition, past ownership, maintenance + luck

Good luck

I think the only issue with mileage is resale price..

Mine currently has 136,000miles and is running fine (it will break down on the way home now).. but if I tried to sell it I would struggle as everyone is scared of this 100k..

As long as it has been serviced regularly and passes a few basic checks they should be a good purchase..

There are a number of threads on this in the past if you want more info, try the search.
