I did have the same problem with a Subaru dealership in Ann Arbor Michigan. I was interested with an AWD car so I went there thinking I can take home a WRX. I went there and people were not very helpful. They were passing me by for quite sometime. And there was no one to ask anything. So I left and...

My 1998 Subaru Forester needs some "routine maintenance" that totals about $700. Should I do it or sell?
The $700 includes all the gaskets and covers---crank shaft, cam shaft, possibly the valve cover gaskets. Its leaking oil from these spots. Also, i need a timing belt and water pump.

I would keep it. Even if you put in a few extra bucks, they hold their value, and that is not a lot of miles for a subaru, make sure you have a good mechanic, it should last you a long time.

Other Choices

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

The Honda CR-V has been completely redesigned for 2008, and it has a very spacious interior, with comfortable seating and a smooth ride.

The CR-V is also more fuel-efficient, but it just isn't much fun to drive and it's not as rugged when taking on the rutted trail to a campsite.

The Outlander is a different type of crossover; it also caters more to on-road performance, but it has a decidedly sporty character, with a firm ride and very crisp handling.

On paper, it competes closely with the 2008 Subaru Forester, but in reality, it's quite a bit heavier and just doesn't feel as nimble.

However, both of these models have the Forester beat for refinement.

Another choice, for those who appreciate the Forester's boxiness and city-friendliness, is the Scion xB.

The Scion has a lower price than the Forester, with a similar nimble feel on the road, and it's more fuel-efficient.

However, it doesn't have the rugged ability or the all-wheel drive of the Subaru.
