Hello! I am looking for some guidance as to the best way to off-load my Outback. General Info: -1998 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon, Limited Edition -200,000+ Miles. -Passed inspection in April, new tires. -Issue: runs well for its age but has a BIG oil leak. Rear main seal I think. Leaves a 3-4" oil spot every time it's driven. We have to park it over a pile of kitty litter. Too expensive compared to the value of the car to fix ($1,000.+). Mechanic says engine is in good shape despite the leak(s). -We're in New England, strong subaru market. My options: - Junk it for parts. Mechanic said $300. - Trade into a place like Carmax - Be patient and look for a buyer capable of doing the work themselves. Before I spend lots of time researching and running it all over town to get estimates and such, I figured I would seek some advice. Thank you so much!
