The Outback timing belt is due at 105,000. I have a 2000 and a 2003 and both got timing belts at that time. I have never, ever had a problem with either and the both have over 130k. They are good solid...safe cars. I wrecked the 2000 in 2002. It had over 10k in damage. The car was still worth about 18k so the insurance company wouldn't total it. Believe me this car looked totalled, and then some, but all the doors still worked flawlessly and none of my family had so much as a bruise. That is why I bought the 2003..safety. Oh...the 2000...you would never know it had been in an accident. It drives as good as it did on day one.
