The Good, I take good care of my stuff, bought this new and have the best mechanic one could have. Runs fantastic and quiet for a Subaru, 50k miles ago the motor had an "issue'" and was replaced with one that was warranted to have 60k on it and the water pump and timing belt package were changed at that time. Transmission was replaced at one point as well. Fluids were always changed at or before factory specs. Whenever anything needed repair we loosened up the paycheck and did it. It stops quick and handles fine. The doors, hood, and hatch all open and shut and lock correctly. The front seats look weirdly new (some sheep gave it up to protect them and left just last week). Air and heat work good. Has 2 1/2 sets of floor mats,a husky set in front, almost unused all weather mats, and brand new factory carpet mats. All lights work. Comes with a Kenwood radio (got to have my USB port) and an nearly unused factory CD weather radio. Tires have a lot of life left. Never has been in a wreck. It is a Subaru. Clint Eastwood might be the coolest dude ever. The BAD, We have not rolled back the mileage - 395k is correct. It leaks about a quart of power steering fluid about every 2500 miles and have not looked into why. The check engine light is on. My mechanic says that it is a "weak" reading on the catalytic converter. He said that it would run fine and not pollute any worse. On a Subaru if the check engine light is on the cruse control will not work. Must be right as that happened 250k ago and it has run fine since. The power mirror button seems to work only one way (saw replacement on ebay for $20). Lee Van Cleef has never ridden in this car. The Ugly, Has a dent in the back bumper (thank you fellow mall patron who can not park). Body-man said it was an easy fix, but forgot to do it when it was in for a windshield. That was one heck of a hail storm. But it detracts only from the beauty and not the function. I never thought Eli Wallach was that ugly. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. You will have to pick this up in Otis, Colorado within 10 days after winning the bid. Payment must be in full. Thank you for your time.
