so is a head gasket job very difficult at all? is it really something that is a big deal to worry about, or should i just automatically do it if i get the car? i'm a total Subaru idiot. i only know the basics about these cars, but i have a pretty decent mechanical knowledge of cars in general. also, never having anything but 4x4 trucks and jeeps, how exactly does the 4 wheel drive work in these things? is there an actual transfer case like a regular 4x4? and yes, i WILL want a dual range transmission if i get this thing.

thanks folks! i hope to go check out that Loyale friday or saturday.

okay, i'm a new guy here. my wife has a 2006 Outback that we dearly love. however, there's no way in hell she would ever let me lift it or anything like that. i currently have a sweet Jeep Cherokee with plenty of off road mods. i wouldn't mind having a subaru as well and have found a 93 Loyale 4x4 5sp wagon. it runs but doesn't want to idle or stay running. it has old bad gas in it and has been sitting for about a year according to the owner. new tires, radiator, alternator. supposedly a very clean and rust free car from NC. the one issue it has, is that it is leaking oil from the front engine seal. my question is this, is there anything on these cars that inherentley goes bad, or something i should look for that is a dead giveaway that i shouldn't get it? i can probably get the car for under $500. what i would want to do with the car is make it a daily driver with a small lift and some A/T's. maybe do some light wheeling with it as well.

i currently have a 2006 Outback 2.5i wagon, but i found a 93 Loyale 4x4 wagon that i'm thinking of picking up, since the Outback is my wife's car and i can't do anything fun to it. my current daily ride is a 96 Cherokee with about 4" of lift and lots of fun things like winches and skid plates. i though that Loyale wagon would make a sweet daily driver with a lift and some 30's!
