i believe its all about luck when buying older performance cars my subaru has clocked on to 191,000kms which is a shade under 120,000 miles ive had it three years gets serviced when i remember use it everyday and the only problem ive had in that time is the exhaust touch wood!!
id love a new one but cant get finance at the mo as im on my notice but hopefully getting kept on but im a great believer in if it aint broke dont fix it so ill be keeping mine as long as poss its just had its 16th birthday!!
why not keep the rb get it up to a good standard and buy yourself something else for daily us ie another cheaper subaru!
neil
