Default GTR Repair Prices - Ouch!!!
We are starting to see a few claims coming in for these now, and hearing horror stories from owners.

New gearbox - £28k (not covered under warrenty as a different exhaust had been fitted, car had done 1300k miles)

Front bumper/splitter/intercooler - £11.5k (intercoolers are £4.5k each)

Brakes seem to be lasting less than 5k miles - £2500-£3000 for new discs and pads.

Maybe Subaru prices aren't that bad after all!!!

That is unreal. There was a post on here recently where a guy did a track day in one and that cost hime something ridiculous like £4,000.00, tyres and brakes.

As you say, maybe scoobies ain't too bad in hindsight.
