Diesel in Petrol Outback!

Post by mattywebb » Mon Mar 21, 2011 12:20 am

Hi Guys, was looking to buy a 2006 Outback this week and found out the petrol engine has been filled with Diesel and driven for 100m till the car stopped. Car is with Insurance company to have damage looked at. Is it still worth looking at to buy?

If you are worried about it at all, even an incy wincy bit, then go and look for another vehicle it's not worth the constant niggle in the back of your head especially when something begins to sound odd, the first thing that will spring into your mind will be the diesel issue.
