Don't forget Toyota Avensis, though in all honesty almost any estate will do if bought dirt cheap with a long MOT.
£1500 should provide a good example, and reasonably serviceable cars a third of that, of any make.
As for Scooby Legacy's, we've now had our 52 plate Outback which cost £1070 for three years, i haven't had to buy a single genuine part for it, flew through the MOT again few weeks ago, couldn't even tell you where the nearest main dealer is now that Spratton (Northants) is apparently closed.
Pattern parts no different in price to other makes, but where Subaru win is that (cylinder head work or spark plug changes excepted due to flat 4/6 design)) they are well engineered they don't fall apart and are made to be worked on.
