buying a 2nd hand turbo car is risky, especially over 100 000. though i have heard subaru Boxer engines are bullet proof..take it for a
full AA dekra road test to make sure its fine and buy a 2year hollard warranty...

Yeah - 2nd hand turbo engine is looking for trouble.

I know a few people that have been burnt by turbos popping on 2nd hand cars.

If you want to buy a 2nd hand scoob , best is to buy directly from 1 of the socsa members.You will get a lot more info about the cars history and who serviced the vechicle.
