Question

There is a 5dr for sale in Private for 3.5K.

The seller reckons it needs a new clutch soon. Any idea who much that would cost?

Mileage is 99k - Is this a problem for Subaru's?

All advice welcome.

Cheers,

C

A new clutch fitted is approx £500, be it a Subaru one or an uprated one.
As long as the car's been well looked after with a FSSH the mileage shouldn't be a problem. CK1's done 85,000 miles now, and it's good as new!

Question

What about the lack of an MOT?

I know it is only a very basic check but it does give some reassurance that things like tyres/brakes/.exhaust/ etc.. are in decent condition.

It seems like a bargain and might be a cheap way into a Subaru but I am not sure especially since the seller is not known on the board.

What does the panel think?

I noticed that the car is in Belgium which makes it a little harder to see, regarding MOT I would get it up on a ramp and take someone who knows Scoobies well (Steve Lawson) Springs to mind.

Sounds like an absolute bargain but as with any car get it checked really thoroughly, £100 for an AA Inspection or a pan European Inspection is well worth the cash if your buying something that looks like a bargain.

Good luck anyway im sure its gonna make someone happy.

Stef, but how many engines and gearboxes has it had to run those 85,000 miles? And still run as good as new?
