This and that

I also looked at the Subaru Crosstrek. The Bronco has a bit more room and is higher off the ground. I believe it will be better off road than the Crosstrek. They offered me 17,000 for my Mustang. If the finance comes back where I need it to be I'll get the Bronco by next Friday. The color I want is still in transit to the dealership. I'll post a picture if I get it. The only modifications will be a trailer hitch from U-haul and the crossbar accessory for the roof rack for carrying my canoe.

That will be an awesome setup Tim, the subaru crosstrek is ok vehicle but it has alot of headaches with the electronics. All the stuff on my obs 97 still works and the subaru you can't even use the power locks. Idk if we got a lemon or what. It runs and goes tho so I ain't complaining too much, but it's well due for an upgrade. I'd like to find something older but reliable and easy to work on. I'd love new but idk if I can keep up with the interest rn. Laid off just doing side jobs and the wife's hours got chopped in half because everyone is worried about the election coming up. Pinching pennies save for what ifs.

It seems as though all new vehicles have some issues, some very minor and some a bit more concerning. My sister in law has always owned Subaru's and never had any issues. I've heard plenty of horror stories of blown engines in the Mustang I currently own. I've never had an issue with mine. I did have the window jerking issue. But, after a competent Ford mechanic fixed it, the issue was resolved. I can't complain about my last few vehicles. VW, Jeep, Toyota and the last Ford were all pretty good to me. Hopefully the Bronco will serve me well.

My Mrs does all the driving and we live in the mountains. She has been driving a Subaru for over 20 years, will drive up and over the mountain in just about any condition. They 2 Subarus we have owned have been very dependable.

My 97 f250 powerstroke has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Unless it's freezing cold then I have to plug her in. But she starts. The subaru goes very well through the snow.
