Hi All,
I need some basic advice.
Last week someone hit me on my way to class. Totalled my beloved 2000 forester S with 180,000 miles on it (still running like a champ). Insurance just let me know that they consider the vehicle totalled. I have yet to find out what they will give me for it. Needless to say I am getting another forester, case closed.
I need advice as to what to look for next. Am I going to notice a difference between the L and S versions (2000 2001?). I am in the Savannah GA area so there are very few Subarus period. I noticed a 2001 H4 X with 168,000 miles in the area for probably what they are going to give me. I cant post the url, sorry. I could not find any info on this model. I am a student and do not expect to be able to put any money into purchasing something nicer.
I learned of this forum when I needed new springs and struts and could not afford to pay my mechanic. Upon lurking for a while I got some KYB-GR2's and went with stock springs. I was very happy to be able to do it myself.
This was my first car, and this is my first time dealing with anything "totalled," so any advice about the process and potential options would be appreciated. Because I was not at fault, the other drivers insurance is covering everything.
major thanks in advance
