Mr. Jones Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I could buy a GTR for that $$ too.... You can buy a used GTR for 58-60K without a doubt. But the problem I ran into, was finding a "CPO" warrantied GT-R. For some reason, they don't seem to exist. http://www.nissanusa.com/apps/cpo/ It came down to "questionable warranty" GTR Out of warranty 996 Turbo. Or New TTRS All for the same price. TT won this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Probably didn't have the right tires. Yup, 4x0=0 AWD isn't a magical aid. I'd rather drive a FWD car with snows vs AWD with shit tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrxRcr Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Who keeps saying subies burn oil, my dipstick doesn't move and i drive the shit out of her. Yes i know all cars burn some but moisture can off set this. So my question is do all the subies on CR burn oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I never have to add any and go 7500 miles a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwg2189 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Same, 7500 intervals and not a drop missing. 5W-30 synthetic. I think it's just the older cars that burn regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Mine leaks oil, but no, doesn't burn. We're hoping to make it to 200k before we need to do the gaskets. I'm at 145k.. At 100 we did timing belt, water pump brakes, tires.. But it was new to us then, since then the only thing done is suspension and radiator/thermostat. and regular maintenance. We know my car was taken care of till its last 10k before we bought it. The last 10k is suspect.. I digrese... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the xt, can't believe you racked up that many miles on her already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Whats more shocking is realizing have had it since 2009! I still feel like i just got it. I think its because i had the legacy for SO long. (that was the longest i have ever owned a car.. six years) I put 90K on the legacy in under 3 years driving to mansfield every day.. the XT aint got nothing on it for mileage.

Yasser-Hanbali Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 i bought my 06 WRX with 202K on it and it now has 212K only thing ive bought for it is a new set of tires for the winter and changed the oil. it does not burn any oil and the car drives like its new. hell it made it through the snow storm today from New York back to Columbus without a single problem.

SpaceGhost Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 My wife's 05 WRX has 150k and has has had this stuff replaced: Timing and accessory belts PS pump Alternator tension pulley Radiator Motor and tranny mounts Battery Plugs several times Clutch Some O-ring in the AC system replaced Diff fluids changed Oil Air filter Head/fog light bulbs Metal coolant reservoir on top of the engine. They all rust and break, replaced with a plastic one like newer Subarus. The only thing wrong with the car is a grinding noise in the tranny when you lift off of the accelerator and leave in gear without pushing in the clutch. ZB says eventually the tranny will die, but when it does we may get rid of the car. If it lives another year, it may be gone then too. It's been a pretty good car. But the wife is ready for a new car, she may go with us to Detroit for the NAIAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldsoda Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I had Trish's old legacy wagon (2.5L na) and my cousin has it now, he daily drives it on the stock motor and trans >310k mi. it doesnt burn a drop of oil and still runs strong. Wife bought a new 09 impreza, kept for ~50k miles needed nothing but scheduled fluid changes. shes driving a forester now. my current legacy sedan (98) has a 2.2L at ~180k and doesnt burn any oil, I change every 3k with dino oil. Only maintenance it ever gets is preventative/scheduled fluids timing belt etc. my 02 wrx (76k miles) does burn just a tad of oil but not enough that I have to add between changes. Find a seller with good service history and the car will last quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 '06 outback uses none at 98K '98 LGT uses about a 1/2 quart every 3K I'm at 182K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 My car bleeds oil from the heads...lol. We will be taking care of that soon with the allegedly redesigned replacement head gaskets. I need a new clutch anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayfressh Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Some subarus do, some doesn't. Most of the subarus that burn oil are turbo models. Mine did until I installed an AOS, then it stopped. My 00 RS2.5 would burn oil, I put 190K on it never changed a belt or head gasket. Then again my 06 TSX burned oil to the point it caused the tensioner to fail and jumped timing. Maybe just the luck of my draw or driving habits. My current DD 06 Lexus GS300AWD , burns no oil, but is the lamest AWD car to drive in the snow ever. On topic OP could probably get a decent 2.5RS 2/4 door for a little over $5K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Would definitely need to be 4door. How is backseat space in the sedans? We test drove a forrester at tri county a few years ago, had plenty of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayfressh Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Don't know about the 4 door I had a 2 door 2000 Impreza RS2.5 and it's back seats were typical of a 2 door. Since your looking for a auto might as well just get a Impreza L . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Is that the wagon? She likes those but haven't found one in our price range with <150k yet. She would like to stay less than 130k if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 If you find an older impreza with 2.2l, you shouldn't have a problem with headgaskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
