Welcome to the nest..I live just west of colorado springs. Subaru outbacks are great cars...but theres just something about an Eagle. Youll know it the second you sit in one. It feels like no other car you have driven. Mechanical parts  are fairly easy to come by. Ive never had a situation where a part was not available...mechanical parts atleast. Body trim and interior parts are a little harder to come by, still not all that bad especially if you get a wagon...sx4's and Kambacks are quite a bit harder to come by. Good luck which ever direction you decide to go.

Theres another thing about Eagles i forgot to mention that any potenial Eagle owner should know. They are a unibody vehicle. They did have the tendency to rust in certain areas. Before buying make sure to look the car over top to bottom for any seriuos underbody rot. If You are looking at sedans look under the vinyl top if you can ...because those were huge hot spots for rust. Rust is these things worst enemy..
