used car lot, i brought it back yesterday and they are checking it out today sometime. My problem is i do not know if i want these jokers fixing anything related to cracking open the engine. Last thing i need is for a patch job to be done on it and a year from now i have more problems and they are no longer culpable

admittedly i do not know much about cars, but the things that are wrong with it were not noticable when i test drove it and looked it over i brought it in to a subaru dealership, they have told me that the head gaskets are severely leaking and i will need the pistons replaced (worn out which is causing the unusually loud slapping)... and a couple of minor things but all totalled about 3400 in parts and labor is the worn piston or pistons something detrimental to my vehicle? or just an annoyance(annoying sounding) when i started it up at the dealership it had the same loud slapping but when i got to where i bought it from (about 10min down the road) the slapping was gone.. which is the first time that the sound has gone away after driving a bit i've only put about 50-60 miles on it since i bought it saturday oh and there is about 88k on it the subaru guys said that besides these major concerns it is in amazing shape especially rust wise which can be a concern for an 8 year old car here in new Hampshire

hard to describe, its like the normal subaru ticking but louder i will try and get a video if i can

I recently bought a 2002 GT, i have owned a 95 legacy L for the last 10 years. When i test drove the vehicle i did not notice a knocking sound but now that i have it home and have driven it around i am noticing it. It persists even after i have been driving around for 30+ minutes so it is not a temp issue, between the time i tested it and picked it up they said they gave it an oil change, so i checked the oil level just to be sure and it is full.. maybe even over full. I think i recall my old subaru making that noise when it got low on oil, i had to replace the rear main seal on that one.. im at a loss as to what is wrong, and reading comments posted on videos of people with the same noise problem as me has me scared i just wasted 8 grand Please Help Charlie
