I just 'won' a 2010 outback on ebay..

[Shuvi McTupya]

I have never had one of these, and not seen it in the flesh yet!

I 'think' i got a good deal. what do you guys think?

Its a 2.5 auto with flappy paddles and a decent LPG system. It has high mileage (150K) but not too much to worry about on these cars and the belt has been changed quite recently.









£3,250.

Deal, or no deal?

Looks a very clean car - a lot younger than mine which is still going strong!
Just so you know, you can get 3 builders bags full of garden waste in the back .....

That sounds like something i would like to avoid testing!

I am hoping that the LPG system should bring the economy in line with more efficient cars, and i can fill up at my nearest petrol station.

I have heard that the 2.5 is a bit underpowered, but that will probably work in my favour as i am sitting on 6 points..


It should be perfectly suited to out deteriorating roads though!

The tyres look good in the photo, but if you need new at some point have a look at Toyo Celcius all season - put mine on in Sept & though we had hardly any snow to test them they have been excellent on very wet muddy country roads.

I quite like all season tyres, especially on 'non performance' AWD cars. Had them on my X-type and never noticed much adverse effect on handling.

So, I picked up the car today.

First impressions are very good, very neat and tidy bar a few little scratches and all the toys work.

It feels very smooth and solid!

There is a little bit of a pull to the left so i guess maybe there is an alignment issue or something but apart from that it seems good!
