This is the story of my Rev D 2.5 manual 2003 Outback BH5. It has 423,000km and looks the part.
This car will take over daily duties from my GF8 so I can repair the rear end damage.
My parents bought this car second hand in roughly 2006 to replace an old Mazda 626 wagon. It had about 100,000-130,000km on it. Since them they've put another 300,000km on it. In the 13 years of ownership the only mechanical failure was the clutch at 300,000km. This car has had battles with several kangaroos and wombats and lived to see another day. It has hauled cows, sheep and alpacas and much more in the boot. It burns oil like a 2 stroke and it still won't die.
As it has reached 423,000km it has been retired into my hands.
