Hi,

 

im looking at a 2002 forester with a 2.5L flat 6 engine with a 5 speed and 60,000 miles but when i started it up at the used car dealership it ran really rough and almost sounded like a diesel for a bit also the whole car shook a bit when I was starting it and when i shut it down. Is this normal or is it a sign of something wrong with the engine?

 

Thanks

2.5 L is a 4cly.  Shaking and sounding like a diesel is definitely not normal. Could be any number of things causing it to shake.  Depends how much they want for it. 2002 with 60,000 miles if its not rusted out yet & the price is right  ... could be a good buy as long as you are equipped to diagnose & fix it.
