worth fixing

[couvsub]

ok here is the add,

 

Selling my 1987 Subaru GL wagon because I am not mechanically inclined. However this is a great deal for anyone who is. This 4 dr hatchback has a strong 5 speed transmission; 180,000 miles; 4x4; new timing belt; new brakes; good tags til Nov. 2005.

 

What it needs is a driver's side front haftshaft because it is locked in the 4x4 mode; engine needs to be timed and possibly a coil wire. The car can be driven as is but doesnt hold an idle very well. I was told it would take about $75 for parts and a decent mechanic about 2 hours to fix everything.

 

would this be worth fixing?

Definitely worth fixing, those are low miles . Shouldn't have to pay a mechanic more than 175 or so to do it for you, but I'd recommend to just sell the car "as is" to a more mechanically inclined person - the work is not too hard.

i'm not selling it, i was thinking about buying it (should've my that clear) and they want 175 for it. also i think i can fix it with some help maybe. thanx for the info.

if its that cheap it sounds like a no brainer

Buy it. It's not hard at all, to do all those things. The hardest part...would be the half shaft. but that would take like an hour. AS long as you know what to do, which you could, if you ask the board.

Very worth buying.
