Pictures are a must once you have the vehicle!

Enjoy your stay.

3.0R Spec B...good choice

[Lotuslady]

yep! we got our 1st subaru Jan last year an outback 09
3.6 R wagon...which I drive, BUT come tomorrow there
may be a dog fight over the new one lol

it looks nice and sporty...love these cars feel very safe in them

our last was a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 in obedesian black
loved her but scaled down as we didnt off road as much as we'd have
liked

Welcome, nice choice of ride & colour.
A pain to keep clean, but oh so with it.

[Lotuslady]

thanks, just picked her up..hubby is out driving her so when
he's done I'll take her out this arvo

just a question for anyone is it worth it to get an extended
warranty from our local subaru dealer? we bought privately
but we called the dealer and they can offer us the following;

24 month / 50000km

RRP: $1110

Discounted price: $1009.10 ($100.90 Saving)

36 month / 75000km

RRP: $1410

Discounted price: $1281.82 ($128.18 Saving)

[Lotuslady]

here she is just need to name her

lol we always name our cars

I don't think the extended warranty is worth it. Find a good Subaru specialist and go to them. Heaps cheaper.

thanks..

if anyone can recommend a good subaru mechanic in Melbourne?
one that is a bit of a specialist

Nice car and welcome!
I haven't had my car serviced since purchasing less than 2 months ago, but I plan on taking it to Cromwood in Burwood.
i've seen recommendations on forums and believe he services mainly Subarus. Spoke to the owner Ross and he seemed pretty knowledgeable - quoting service costs for each interval off the top of his head, which were around half the cost of a Subaru service centre.

I've taken my car to Ross and I am glad I did. Such a genuine guy.
