We are considering selling our BMW 318i 2004 for a Subaru Outback 2004-2006. Is there anything we should be aware of or looking for when purchasing? Thanks!

There will be a noticeable increase in fuel consumption and if the cambelt (100,000km) service is due you will need to budget accordingly as the differential oils, transmission fluids, cambelt, etc needs replacement (normally around $1600.00 plus).

Look for a well maintained and low mileage vehicle and get a pre-purchase inspection carried out.
