Thanks guys. My service guy called me that car was done. They serviced the brakes and said that I don't need new pads. Given the distance I drive in a year, he said that I won't need brakes until next year.
 
Cheers.

That wouldn't look out of place parked between an Audi and an Infiniti.

You sign up for a Chase Subaru credit card, with Chase Bank.
 
Once you have it, you get a 3% rebate on all purchases. They come in $100 Subaru Bucks at a time, up to $500 per year total.
 
Over time we used $400 and accumulated another $1600, which we applied towards our 2009 Forester purchase. We got a Limited model for $23.4k after that credit.

Subaru Bucks can also be used for parts, accessories, and service at your Subaru dealership. If you use a $100 certificate, make sure you purchase $100 worth of stuff- they can't give you change back.
 
I've used my bucks for all weather floor mats and air filters. I'm saving them up now for the next time I need an expensive service that I only want done at the dealership.

bburagos does the aftermarket kit allow full integration? ie can you use the buttons on the steering wheel to control the ipod?

For sure...we used $100 for accessories (mats and some other little stuff) and then another $300 at the Fitzgeral Subaru body shop!
 
The cool thing was we were reimbursed by insurance so that meant we got $300 cash. Ka-ching.

Good thing I decided to check back here today! Looks like others answered your question on the Subaru Bucks. I've used mine to replace a windshield, buy accessories and for service at the dealership.
 
As for the iPod integration kit, I believe it will work with any OEM stereo that has satellite radio capabilities. You won't be able to have both though as the iPod kit uses the satellite radio input on the back of the head unit.
 
I've got it working on an '07 head unit (that I bought with Subaru Bucks ). I don't know if it will work on the newer head units, but I suspect it would. If you buy it and it doesn't work you could always sell it on the lgt.com classifieds.
 
Cheers!

Subaru 2.5xt legacy problem - fire hazard by julianh
Aug 15, 2008 (1:01 pm)

At 49K miles under normal hot day highway conditions I experienced smoke from under hood and power loss. It turned out that the rubber hose that feeds oil to the turbocharger crumbled spontaneously and hot oil hit hot exhaust manifold. Not to mention that the turbo was trashed. Both the mechanic and the fire insurance adjuster felt that a rubber oil tube should have never been used in that turbo environment. Fire coverage was declined. Subaru of America was no help as they would only replace with same factory parts and the car is out of warranty. Because it is a fire hazard and a hazard for the guy on the motorcycle behind me (when the car blows out 5 gallons of oil slick on the highway) I want to fix this correctly with none factory parts and aftermarket rigs. I have the offending tube segment in possession and the rubber is literally cooked and brittle.
Any other suggestions? Has anyone have had a similar failure?
