  1. Sorry for not responding earlier, guys! I set it to send email notifications and I thought my post was just being neglected. Thanks for all the good advice! Just because I feel pretty comfortable about naming off more details, it's an automatic and yes it's in the Pacific Northwest. It's listed on auto trader as being "recently deducted" or what have you and the dealer says it went from ~$12k maybe four days ago to ~$8k now. I'm going to make a list of all the things you guys mentioned and look closely for all possible signs of issues. I spoke with my pop shortly and he told me to get a new water pump and something else as well as the timing belt as soon as financially possible. Keep the advice coming, you guys are great!
  2. So hello wonderful Subaru people, both Experts and Subie Newbies! I've wanted a Subaru Baja for oh-so-many years and I don't have a car and I have a chunk of change floating my way. I decided to look at Auto Trader and found that in ~400 miles there's a Subaru Baja that potentially has my name on it. It's a turbo 2005 that seems to have no cosmetic defects. It has >180,000 miles on it. A maintenance schedule I found says that the timing belt should be replaced at ~105k, but the Carfax shows that it was only inspected at ~170k with no indicator of replacement. I'm a little hesitant to post where it is and how much it is because I'm really paranoid that someone will buy it out from under me if it's not too good of a deal (but just good enough to take advantage of). What all should I worry about? I've contacted the dealership directly and they say that they recently dropped the price quite heavily. If there isn't anything I should worry about, I really look forward to becoming a deserving member of this amazing forum site!
