Hi guys! I am new to the site and found some really great info here!

 

Now, I am asking for some advice. I found a  1997 Subaru Legacy Outback for sale. I got him down to $600. Here's the breakdown: 

 

The car threw a rod and is not working. Body is in great shape with very minimal work to be done. The engine is a 2.5L and has 197K miles. Heres the original link: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pts/4915036530.html

 

I'm wondering if $600 is a great deal to start a new project car. I was probably going to buy a new engine and swap it with the same 2.5L engine when I find one.

 

Thanks for the help!
