    2003 Outback L.L. Bean, H6 with 110K on the clock.
    Everything works perfectly and clean Outback is CLEAN on the inside.
    A few cosmetic issues on the outside, but for a free-and-clear $5,500 car, I'll take it.

    The only issues are a whistling sound from the mirror-area of the door at highway speeds, no audio-in yet for an iPod or phone and it pulls slightly to the left.

    Looks good man! I think this requires a break-in fishing contest ;)

    You got that with the sole purpose of giving Paul H6 envy, didn't you?!

    HA! The goal was to sell my car liquidating all, or at least most of the $ to buy a car and eliminate a car payment. The H6 find was lucky- and thanks TO Paul. I wanted to find something within the budget that (a) had been owned by a responsible people or few people, (b) had a reliable motor and transmission (c) wasn't trashed. I'm REALLY happy with it so far - everything works perfectly and it's in GREAT shape inside. Now I don't have to worry about my kids riding their bikes and crap by my car.

    Stance coilovers (slammed) 18X10.5 wheels with a +28 offset. Then it will be legit.

    The whistling is the mirror gusset, try tweaking it inwards. Welcome to smooth reliable dailyness.

    whistling mirror = standard-issue subaru...along with crappy sound systems lol

    Anyway, nice pickup at a very fair price! I've always liked the idea of the H-6, although I've never driven one.

    I tried pulling the mirror in to the window last night and it helped a bit.
    Is it just an issue I need to learn to live with?
