Sell me on Subaru's. I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to replace my truck with this spring. I've got ~$13k to spend and my only other requirement is that it's a manual.
I like this one: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/ctd/4323322197.html
My wife is giving me shit for considering a wagon but she can piss off. I'm open to other models as well. Just trying to get opinions from people that have actually owned them.
Also, isn't there a subaru dealer on here? Maybe oberhaus? I can't remember the exact user.

If you do gardening, she wont be giving you shit when you're hauling mulch/plants in the back of the wagon. If you have a dog, wagon is the way to go for them as well IMO.

Yeah, with 3 permanent dogs and a perpetual foster dog in tow a wagon makes sense for traveling.Commander of Awesome;1579185 wrote:If you do gardening, she wont be giving you shit when you're hauling mulch/plants in the back of the wagon.

Yes, Oberhaus sells Subarus. Supposedly good in snow. Buy one-it might quit snowing then.

Scoobs are goat. Boxer engine, runs forever, awd, great in snow, cheap maintenance, and good resale value.
Outback is possibly a Lezmobile - I'd go Impreza hatch or legacy.

Also - with $13k cash you could probably talk a lot of people down too. I'd look at some around the $18-$20k mark too.

My parents own 2 of them. I love driving the newer one, the other is my dad's work vehicle and isn't as good to drive around (it's been through a lot).
I think my mom drives an Outback Impreza. Good fuel economy. Handles well. Never drove it in bad conditions, I don't think.

No no no, go through a private seller, not a dealer. Either sell the truck on the side or bring it to a place like Carmax.Commander of Awesome;1579230 wrote:How's that make the dealer any money?

Also - if you're gonna get that kind of cash for your truck, i'd take a small loan out, say 10k, and just buy something new. Seems like it'll be worth it in the long run.

Yes, that's what I meant. Sell my truck for cash. Take that cash to dealer or private seller. Buy vehicle.Raw Dawgin' it;1579237 wrote:No no no, go through a private seller, not a dealer. Either sell the truck on the side or bring it to a place like Carmax.

I don't want another car payment. At most I'll take a "loan" from our savings and pay it back over time. But I don't want to really do that either.Raw Dawgin' it;1579238 wrote:Also - if you're gonna get that kind of cash for your truck, i'd take a small loan out, say 10k, and just buy something new.
