I had a '79 4WD wagon that I drove to the junkyard after logging 110K on it. Prior to my ownership, it had 150K on it. It was driven to the JY with 260K on the clock. The only reason i got rid of it was that it was leaking so much oil, and I was getting tired of add JB Weld to everything to keep the oil in!! LOL

I then picked up a '93 Legacy wagon AWD, new, and put nearly 300K on it over 12 years. I used it for everything...daily driving, throwing newspapers, hauling household items, plywood hauling, as well as kid hauling. I sold it only because I was afraid it would start needing major repairs.

I would love to get a new Forester next year. Those darned cars will last forever with low maintenance costs.
