Lesbaru Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Just wandered over to Skagit Subaru's website to see how much they were asking for my traded-in Legacy. $6,999. Whoa. If anyone here is thinking of buying it, be careful. I'm assuming they reground and replaced all the valves and cylinder heads, replaced the messed-up valve guide, re-repaired the clutch and seperator plate, resealed all the engine seals, took out the dents, replaced the disintegrating timing belt cover, replaced all 4 sets of brake pads and the warped left rear rotor, replaced the worn-out driver's seat belt, and generally tidied up. But be careful. That critter had a lot of heart, but also a lot of rust. I wish Twobaru the best of luck in her new home... sniff! bye bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Perhaps the mooing sound you describe in your new car is the ghost of your old car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesbaru Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 There were a couple other things various mechanics pointed out, that I forgot to add to the list. Then there's also the 10-years-in-midwest-salt issue. Overall a decent car considering, but more than I could handle fixing anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
