My wife has a 2009 Forester. Only has 55k on the odometer. We got a few years before I spend the money and have the belt, tensioner, water pump, coolant, plugs and wires changed. But this won't be a cheap bill at the Subie dealer, I'm sure. I'm guessing around $1200. Right?
So my coworker has a 2000 Legacy with 220k miles on it. It has NEVER had the belt changed. He dad bought the car new. It's been in the family it's whole life. His dad knows the belt was never changed.
Of course, when she hits 100k on her Forester, I'm going to get all the service done on it. Or I won't be able to sleep until I do.....
But honestly, has anyone ever had a Subie belt break? Anyone know of them breaking? This is car has only been owned by two people. Both middle aged women. This isn't a WRX owned by a 22 year old. So, it hasn't been abused.
What do you think the chances are that her Forester could make it to 200-250k miles without a belt change?
