[QUOTE="Pixulator, post: 372477, member: 10955"] Hi All, I just wanted to thank you all again for the feedback and ideas. So the end result is I have just purchased a 2003 XS Forester with 138K on the clock from an actual Subaru dealership. As part of the roadworthy and handover they are replacing the head gasket (not currently failed) so that provides some initial reassurance considering it's something that fails on these cars and apparently they are good for 150K I figure with my annual work commute being 20K and then 0.2K in the weekends would put about 30/k on each year. So, all going well with maintenance, should get about 5 years out of it before hitting the 300K mark on the odometer. Fingers crossed :) Now where is all this Gold at again? [/QUOTE]
