The head gaskets are the typical thing it will need that can add up, the rest of the car is solid. I dont suggest the used car lot thing, and I don't really suggest buying a car from a new car dealer without license plate frames at that usually means it was bought at auction, and regardless of what Carfax states, cars sold through Auction have a greater possibility of being the one you dont want. I like the idea of buying form a private party that has had another child so its time to buy A Tribeca or a mini van. Justin Hello Ben,

I've been reading your website avidly over the past week - what a great resource! I am a proud owner of a new 2010 outback - premium with all weather package - and LOVE IT! I am now looking for a used Subaru Forester, Legacy or Legacy-Outback. 2004 - 2005 era seem to be in my price range. Most of the cars I'm looking at have at least 80K miles on them. I realize that i can find history on Carfax and the like - but how can i really know if the car was well maintained? If i get intersted in a car, i'm planning to take it to a local mechanic (Boston) that specializes in subarus for an evaluation. However, you seem to really know your stuff - and my wife is concerned about buying a car with 100K+ miles. What can i do to figure out if the car i'm looking at is in good shape to get to 300K miles? what can i tell my wife to assuage her fears of a "high" mileage car? If i am sure to take care of head gaskets, belts, water pump, tires, oil, filters, fluids, springs, shocks, etc. - is there anything else i should be worried about failing? Stated differently, what would cause a car not to make it to 300K? Is there some part that could "go" that is prohibitively expensive to repair? THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR THOUGHTS! Hi Justin.
