My commute is about 45 miles a day then we usually take my car when we run errands and then there’s me taking random drives with the fam and driving to the mountains for hiking and skiing and biking it all adds up lol. ---

I was putting 17-21k a year on my truck and the car before it but now that I don’t drive to work the miles are much less. Ive put almost 20k on my work van since 12/4/12 though. ---

Which share many components, as well as the overall design, engines, transmissions, and awd systems, but are different sizes. > > The legacy platform is the larger one, which underpins the forester, outback, baja, and legacy sedan/wagon. Which is why the service manual we have from out old 2004 legacy covers the legacy, forester, and baja. The forester is based off the impreza chassis, not the legacy. A lot of stuff is different. ---

Holy fuck, glad I have a 20 mile round trip drive to work. I will probably only have 10k on my car by the end of the first year of ownership LOL. ---

I was on track to be over my mileage about 10k/yr. Times that by three = 30k, times 15 cents per mile = $4,500. A lot more than I paid for this Subaru. ---

Pretty much no dealers do employee demos anymore except for management. I get $300+/mo towards the lease if I sell a certain volume though. Doesn’t help if I’m over on miles though. ---

Wow, things changed then. I remember when I was working for a local dealer in high school EVERY salesmen had a demo. This definetly a worthy pick up to save on miles then. ---

It’s not lol. You can swap pretty much every suspension component between a forester and an impreza.
