Default Subie Questions..going to buy

Hey guys,

I had to get rid of my Subaru, but now i'm in a position to get another one, it's got 85k miles on the clock, two owners. I know the timing belt has been done, and regular oil changes. What should I expect to service right away on it? Anything that I should look for?

be smart and pay the 150$ or so, have the car looked at by a shop and a compression test done.......

while your having the compression test done, u could have them throw in new spark plugs if everything checks out good.

also, since you are at 85k. the 90k service wouldnt be bad to do.

Check the pads/rotors while you're at it. They're not too expensive to replace

In the OC. It's freakin' clean. I regret selling my 2010. But hopefully this all works out.

So the guy let you take the car to the dealer to get it checked out prior to buying it?

Yes. It's your right. If they refuse...run..far away. I feel more confident with the transaction. It's taking longer but I'm in no rush. The sales guy went with me btw.
