mdjdc Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I have the opportunity to buy a 96 outback wagon with a blown HG. It has 220k on it and an auto tranny. The seller wants 500.00 for it and says it is in otherwise good shape. Any issues I should know about? Should I jump on this? I can do a HG without any trouble, so that is not an issue, Ijust want to know wht I am getting into before I make the jump. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Well in that case, maybe torque bind, FWD fuse installed? Other than that should be pretty solid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmithmmx Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 500 bucks for a car with 220K, NO. With that many miles I am sure the suspension is worn. I had the same deal a few months back, I passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Car needs to be running to check for Torque bind. Does its start? What condition is it in overall. The engine is a complete unknown, so at 250.00 it would be a buy, maybe. Its hard to buy a aluminum engine car with a blown HG as so many other things can be wrong with the engine. Now if you but it with an engine swap in mind thats a bit different. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finsol Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I just bought a 95 subaru legacy wagon, manual tranny w/ 247k on the clock for the same price 500 bucks about 3 weeks ago and it's my new daily driver, runs f'ing PERFECT. Don't pass up on a car with a straight body for 500 bucks even if it doesnt run and ends up being not worth a rebuild thenpart it out on ebay and make twice as much money back. just some fruit for thought.
