My 03 legacy wagon just passed 250k. And my matching Baja is at 350k. Both are great.

Ran a tire dealer for 34 years. We would politely decline to replace a mismatched tire on 4wd vehicles that required 4 matched tires {it's right in the owner's manual}. Not that we didn't have empathy on the cost, but we didn't want to asume the liability for a future driveline failure. On occaision, when the customer could wait a few days, we would order a shaved down matched tire from Tire Rack.

I just purchased a used 2018 legacy base model 60,000 miles. Got it for less than 10,000 dollars. Rides like a dream!

Purchased a 2019 155k Impreza Hatchback for my son. Immediately changed all of the fluids. It’s not a performance car but absolutely Love it! I drive this car more than I drive my own. 😂

No used car should be purchased without a pre purchase inspection. But the previous owners treatment has a lot to do with the car’s future. Great video topic!!

Bought my 2020 Wrx limited with 29k miles stock. I researched all the maintenance and found that everything had been done on time. <br>Since I’ve owned it I’ve done all the maintenance myself and still running great.

No issues with any of our five Subis since 2015 😁 <br>Our youngest changed her own oil once and unfortunately doubled up the filter rubber seal (wasn’t paying attention) which of course then lost all of it’s oil, damaging rod bearings and tops of all the pistons. Engine swapped for $2k doing the work ourselves 😉

In Canada always check for underbody rust. A well maintained Canadian car gets undercoated every single year.

My son wanted Ann STI so when a red Z021 STI Limited came up on a Toyota Lot we went for a look. He was working camp jobs so he had a nice little stash and a 2019 Buick Encore to trade in on it. The car only had 21.000 kms on it ( around 12,500 miles on it. The vehicle had no modifications. The only issue was my son had never driven a manual transmission vehicle so I spent the next day and a half teaching him how to do it. I grew up on standards but hadn’t driven one since early 1990s. The clutch on that car doesn’t grab until about 1inch before the clutch pedal is all the way out. The car had oil changes every 6,000 kms or ( 4000 miles on it) with its previous owners and wasnt driven much in the winters if at all. We just had the first issue with this car. While doing an oil change .DIYer the oil pan bolt ( probably the threads in the pan ) stripped. The drain plug won’t tighten nor will it come out. No screwing around he ordered a new oil pan and a Killer Bee oil pickup tube. I’ve seen brand new STI oil pickup tubes come out of the packaging looking like there’s corrosion on the brazing at the mount.ing flange. Since a new pan is going on so is a Killer Bee oil pickup which is properly Tig welded, has thicker steel and has two triangulated braces instead of the OEM one whimsy brace. An AOS is going on soon as is a Cylinder 4 cooling mod. All aren’t mods that affect the stock performance. Ive driven this car and I love it.
