Which is one thing I need to check; I imagine it's not cheap for a car like that. I'm also looking at Subarus. :-) Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #270,535 by Another Scott 10/17/06 9:59:00 AM Reply	I hope they're better than in the mid-90s. My SIL had a Subaru in Ithaca and in Cleveland. It rusted very badly and was basically a worthless rattle trap in a few years. She still loved it though. Ah, cars. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em. Happy hunting. :-) Cheers, Scott.
Post #270,538 by folkert 10/17/06 10:55:08 AM Reply	How long ago? until about 1991 or 1992 when they changed body construction and painting methods... this was true. Although you could basically drive the body right of the pre 1992 models, and then still keep driving them anyway. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
