New member - first Subaru - lots to learn

[Shifty]

Hi.

Just bought a mint 05 2.5 Outback with less than 60k miles all verified by service book stamps and Subaru dealer confirmed as genuine. One owner and garaged from new. :) Only thing lets it down is the alloys are all scratched from loose snow chains.

 

Not owned one until now so got a lot to learn about whats good and bad. Gonna need an exhaust before long as it seems very rusty. Anyone know where I could get a full stainless system?

 

Cheers Shifty aka Steve

Welcome along, you could pop down to the Surrey Scoobies meet, it local to you and a good place to meet like minded enthusiasts.

Cheers.

Just missed my local meet on Sunday so am aiming for the next one.

Should be easy to spot all the Scoobys parked up.

Thanks for that. Its only a few miles from me but could not make Sunday gone.

Will try harder for the next one.

Am loving this forum already as everyone seems quite friendly and welcoming.

Cheers Shifty.

First of many to follow. Wheels have been scratched to hell by loose snow chains but other than that I reckon its as near to mint as a 2005 used motor could be. Considering getting them refurbed. Leather interior is as new with genuine Subaru FSH.

Just done a major service and changed all belts fluids filters. Just waiting for new set of poly suspension bushes and that should be that for a few years.

looks good - do like that blue - wheels will refurb no problem ooorrr maybe a new set of rims  ;)

Howdy all. I'm back in the fold after working abroad. Picked up a 2015 Levorg GT with only 8k miles on the clock. Full dealer history. It was a second car that just never got used. Once I remember how to post pictures I'll get some on.

Same metallic blue as the previous Outback. Not seen too many out and about on the roads and even less during this lock down ;)
