david1972: Hi mate. Im in Tonbridge, Kent. What u got for sale mate? Gambit: Hello mate and thx for the welcome :)

Thanks for the info guys! Yes, a 3.0 petrol Outback looks so far the best to me – that extra power, the chain, and also plate 55 – I’ve noticed that with tax.Thats exacly where my budget reaches :-D If I find one with automatic gear and good mileage Id go for it. So far I found one outback, 2.5 petrol that I’m very interested in but 3.0 looks more tempting J And I decided to look for Outback rather than Legacy - seems a bit tougher. Now is hunting time. Thank you for your hints guys!

Hello everybody! My name is Adrian and I kindly ask you for an advice. I want to change a car and Subaru Legacy is so far no.1 on my radar. I’ve never driven one, never owned one also none of my friends has it therefore I would like to ask you guyz for some help. I am interested in estate, petrol, 2.5, manual or auto – no difference to me as I use my privet car for motorways mainly. Every year I take few +2k miles trips on the continent and I really enjoy German motorways where the fun starts above 100mph. At the moment I have Vectra C with the strongest diesel engine so you can guess that I like to cruise on their highways in a speed range of 100-120mph. I don’t need any extra emotions than that, elsewhere and on the local roads I always drive within limits but I would like to have a car that I can trust more on the bends and during a bad weather. Also I want a 4wd. Last winter I went through Germany during the night with few inches of snow on the road covering all the lines. I had a brand new winter tyres so I felt comfortable but that was the moment I realised I want a 4wd. So... I don’t know anything about Subaru at all. I came across Legacy as I’m looking for an estate and immediately felt in love with it. Looks like its a perfect car for me so I’m gonna do some viewings soon as I want to make a switch in the summer and get my new car ready for the winter. Please advise me regarding the petrol engines (I don’t want diesel this time). I aim at 2005/6 year. What are the common issues at what mileage, what should I be looking for during the viewings? I heard that theres a valves regulation required every 50k or so and 2.0/3.0 engines have to be pulled out but not the 2.5 so that service on 2.5 is easier, quicker, cheaper - is that true? Any clue is more than welcome as I don’t know the car at all. Thank you for any piece of advice. Adrian
