All Subaru joking aside, I will keep my eye open for one.
How much are you looking to spend? New? You can reach me 867 5309, and please ask for 'Randy'.

Almost bought my neighbors subaru... I live in Idaho now and was told those rigs were for Peta loving, kale eating yuppies that probably fish only dry flies.... I need a jacked up coal rolling diesel with a gun rack and a case of keystone light in the back to fit in... I love the vehicle stereotypes. When you get older you honestly don't give a fuk about what you drive as long as it fits your needs and saves money

Fix it? All it looks like all it needs is a little air in the tire...
Wheel base is about 10" short on the left.... Get KK to pay Todd.... then he could run it off the right side of the road and it might square up nicely. Todd's rig?

How much are you looking to spend? New? Looking for new, with a preference for the Outback. Looking to spend 25K at most. Looking like that price point does exist, but it's not very common. I looked into certified used, and the prices for cars with 20 or 30K miles were only a couple thousand less than brand new. Factor in the higher interest rates that come with used cars, and you've got what seems to me like a not so great deal. I'd consider used for a better value. I should point out that I'm only looking at this point; I haven't decided to pull the trigger just yet. Thanks!

Matt Waitman at East side Subaru was a pleasure to deal with.
You might call him and see what they can do.

Do they throw in a free assorted pack of Chinese tied dry flies?
Do they have rockin' stereos?
Built in, quick access, machete sheaths?
A wool hat holder?

All of the finest Subaru's I've seen have been in a VW Bus!

Seems the subie powered vanagon synchro trumps many modern rigs. I've seen more than a few go for top dollar. Camper addition gets stupid money. My westy still has a leaky waterboxer. That's after I resealed it. My commuter is a '05 legacy. Simple, cheap, awd, and just keeps on rolling. Peace.

Don't kid yourself. Most chics are two or three shots of tequila from being lesbian. Can't really blame them.

A wool hat holder? You can get all that (plus a limited edition Subaru ascot) with the Fly Fisherman package, but like most things I really want, that upgrade is too steep.

I thought all Subaru's came with Co-Exist stickers?
I could co-exist with them a hella-lot better if they could drive the speed limit instead of combing their arm pits.

FF02,
3rd time Subie owner here. The 1985 square box was a cult vehicle, like a VW Beetle, but still fun for the granola crunching, Birkenstock wearing, cycling, skiing, fishing, and camping crowd, and pre-lesbo reputation model. I drove my 2000 Subie Outback 200,000 miles over 14 years, and it was larger, far more comfortable, and even more suited to the above activities while getting the same gas mileage. Had the 2014 Outback for a year and a half now. It's slightly larger than the 2000, has an inch higher ground clearance (good for boat launching at Knapton), and if Subie ownership was ever gonna' make me a lesbian, I'd be one by now.
I bought this one last year on one of those 0% interest deals, not wanting to pass up free money. As for buying a used Subie, it's not a bad way to go, but you don't save any $$. The price for a used Subie = price of a new Subie minus the $/mile charge they use for calculating used car prices. If you're gonna' drive it a 100,000 miles or more, which is always my plan, buying new is just as economical as used, if not more so. Only problem with new models is that the manual transmission is only available on the lowest end model, and eventually I'll stop trying to step on the clutch with my automatic transmission-equipped Subie.
If another car did all that the Subaru does for the same price, fuel mileage, and comfort, then I'd consider it. But at this point I didn't even look at other makes. And mine doesn't sport a single bumper sticker. So it can be kinda' hard to find it in a crowded parking lot some times.

What I've learned here:
1) Flea is a good sport. 2) I might be a Lesbian. 3) I'm not a real Redneck. 4) A Subaru won't pull my goose neck horse trailer. 5) I can't put my camper on a Subaru. 6) A Subaru won't tow my sled but would tow my drift boat. 7) There is room in the back of most Subaru's to haul all your cat hounds. 8) You don't need a Subaru to own a bumper sticker.
