Subaru Impreza Problems

If you've got dash cam footage that conclusively shows the breakage wasn't caused by some external impact I would say, yes, pursue it. But if there weren't conclusive proof that it wasn't caused by an object impacting the glass I wouldn't go any further.

The 1995 Impreza is rated to tow up to 750kg providing the trailer has brakes, the rating drops to 400kg when the trailer doesn’t have brakes. On that basis you could tow 500kg if the trailer is fitted with brakes, but not if it isn’t.

The best times to buy are usually the end of the financial year, or at model run-out times, that's when the specials are on. The CVT and dual-clutch autos are both still unknowns in terms of long-term reliability, but either should be ok over the five years you plan to keep the car. Any of the cars you list, and the list is a long one, would be ok. It really comes down to what you like.

Your asking price seems a little high, even though the car appears from what you have told us to be a good one. But be patient, and leave it advertised as you have done for another week or two before considering lowering the price a little if you still haven’t had any responses.

We contacted Subaru to see if there was anything further to add, and they told us that if you were willing to provide your rego and/or VIN number, they would check with customer relations. They added that normally, the first letter alerts the customer that the recall is pending and advises that they would be in touch when the parts are available, but without knowing what phase your car car is at, they couldn’t offer a definitive answer without investigating. I would suggest you contact the Customer Relations Team (1800 22 66 43) and give them the requested information they need to take it further.

I would use the factory recommended oil, at least while the car is under warranty. Once the warranty has expired you could use the Mobil oil and shouldn’t experience any problems.

My reading is that you are liable for stamp duty on transferring the registration to NSW, irrespective of what you paid when you bought the car new.
