Replying to: paisan (Nov 23, 2008 6:00 am) park it. Buy new car. Fix BG later, keep as winter beater Buy new car. Sell BG for whatever we can get for it. Cars under consideration? Well, this would be Kirsten's ride, since I have the company Camry. She wants something no bigger than the BG. Must be efficient, must be MT. Must be an engaging drive. So far: MINI Clubman (her current fave- big enough for one kid, even 2. Good EPA, hoot to drive, 6MT, loads of style) Honda Fit (she doesn't like the cheapness of the interior) Prius (hurt by no MT, no fun, and definitely no deals. Lucien sez, "and it's getting old") Impreza (hurt by fuel economy, but is a compact package and has AWD. Must be 2009 to avoid bland driving experience of 2008. Keeps us in the Subie fold.) Outback (also hurt by economy, blandest color choice in automobiledom) I guess I should add Mazda3 wagon to this list. Haven't really looked at one in a while.

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 23, 2008 8:49 am) The Outback is not a bad car, bigger rear than the impreza. On a side note, I test drove the G8 GT yesterday. AMAZING car. We are talking BMW 5-Series level. Can't wait for the G8 GXP w/6MT to be available. Unless the 2010 Legacy knocks my socks off, I believe the G8 GXP will be in my driveway next year. -mike Subaru Guru and Race Instructor

Replying to: paisan (Nov 23, 2008 9:10 am) In fact, here's some info on deals to be had. Too bad you're not looking at an '08 STI, as the deals are INCREDIBLE—like $7K off & 0% financing for 60 months! http://www.cars101.com/subaru/rebates.html http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1630732 Bob |

Replying to: lucien2 (Nov 23, 2008 10:04 am) Bushings- At that age and milage, bushings start to break down. Radiator- Again, milage. AC System- Naggily things in there can come to high ticket items down the road. Shocks- At 150k they should be shot. Catalytic- If that wasn't done with the exhust. Sensors- Start to become costly to hunt down and fix at that age. Nothing major but after dumping $3500 you HAVE to chase down future problems which can get costly. -mike |
