hatch4x4 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I have this crazy idea to find a 97 -99 legacy sedan gt with a blown headgasket, buy it for cheap, and fix it myself to save money and have a fun project. Has anybody else had the same experience? I also have no idea where I would have the best chances of finding one. Any ideas there? Thanks, -- Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I talked to a friend of mine a couple of days ago and he had been to some sealed bid auctions at local dealerships. He had seen a 97 Outback Limited with 105k miles and a blown head gasket. He said it ran perfectly and was in mint condition except the head gaskets and a siezed AC compressor. He didn't bid on it so he didn't know what it went for but I bet it was super cheap(<$1000), as he bought a mint '00 chevy malibu with 50k miles for $3200. Here in NY I think you need some sort of dealer license to go to those auctions. Unfortunately he didn't call me and ask me if I wanted him to bid on that '97. I could have done the head gaskets and had a sweet car. I think a lot of these Phase I cars are going to auction with blown head gaskets.

Nug Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I know where there is a Legacy wagon w/ a 2.2 with some torque bind and a cheap price that I may have to score on. I love problems that baffle and scare people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonpowaa Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 XSNRG has an 85' turbo wagon with a blown head gasket that he's asking $400.00 for. He's in Olympia. That would be tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
