Subacars
I am looking at Subarus again and due to the credit crunch my budget is limited. I have a choice of a two Legacy Outbacks: a 2002 with 101,000 miles for £4,000, or a 2003 with 40,000 miles for £5,450. I am wavering because I because there seems to be a huge premium on the mileage. Both are the 3.0 litre H6 autos and I presume should last a good while. Your advice as ever is much appreciated.

What's £1,450 compared to the potential cost of more things going wrong with the older, higher mileage car that will always be worth less anyway?
