High Km Subaru

Hi there,
I'm hoping to buy what will be my first car pretty soon. There is a 1990 5-spd. Subaru legacy LS sedan that I have fallen in love with. It seems to be in perfect condition except that it has over 400,000Km on it. The guy thats selling it is asking $900, but I think I can get ot for about $650. He says its mostly highway kilometers.

Should I buy it?

I know its a lot of kilometers, but I've seen japanese cars in worse condition with more miles on it than this one. I'm really excited , but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too soon.

Re: High Km Subaru

Can't go wrong for that kind of money. I was about to buy an old Ford Explorer for $500 and it had about 300,000 miles...if it breaks you can just buy a different car.

i'd go for it. i mean shit, getting things fixed on some cars can easily cost over $900.
