As some of you may know my daily driver is a Subaru Legacy. Now i took it for a warrant last week first time in about 7 months :oops: and it faield pretty bad. I need to replace the power steering belt, a front lower bush(not exactly sure which bush) and i also need to get a written report from a panel beater because apparently my sills are questionable and may need repairing and not to mention my CVs are pretty much shot. So my question i pose to you all is, is it worth fixing???? I will have paid the thing off in about 3-4 weeks and was thinking should i just cut my losses get rid of it for as much as i can and get a new daily?? Any opinions/ideas are appreciated cheers!

panelbeaters report is a crock of shit...its not compulsory...take it somewhere else

they cant even fail it on cv's either unless its physically binding up..

That was clays suby.

I'd fix it greg. For what it owes you, if you fix it, it'll keep on getting you where you need to go. You'll get fuck all for it as is, so I'd fix it.

if the sills have enough damage to weaken its structural strength, then they are failable. whether it be a split seam, substantial deformation of shape, corrosion, its up to the discretion of the inspector.
i always get a second opinion unless i know that its a definite issue.

im not sure what you mean by overriding a wof shane....

What are the front seats like? If they are mint ill take them.

Also, Wal could sign it off if the sills arent fisted.
