Man, you are utterly clueless. Get it to pass smog, LMAO. It will pass smog like every other vehicle I have ever bought and brought into California.

Have you considered an alternator rebuilder? I have a 2001 Corvette and I had the alternator rebuilt because I bought an aftermarket one from O'Reilly's and it immediately freaked-out the electrical system. Fortunately I hadn't turned my OEM alternator in for the core, so I returned the one to O'Reilly's and had a local guy rebuild mine. It was less expensive and it works as it should. I will always go that route from now on.

I lived in Virginia for many years, it's not rust belt. Look at the prices. You can get a Subaru on the east coast for several thousand less than the west coast. I've owned several Subies. Also, my mom lives in Virginia, so I used it as an excuse to go visit her. I took it to a Subaru dealer because I was given some stupid, crappy 90 day warranty, so I wanted to take it to a shop that would have experience dealing with these people. They did cover a whopping $1700 of the $4500. $4500 to replace a cracked head. Just writing that makes me so mad that I want to kill something. Oh, at this point it can't end well. It's already way too FUBARed for that. I'm just trying to mitigate my losses. This is a nice car with 90k miles, it does have some value.

Hi. I recently bought this car from a dealer in Virginia, AutolineVA, never, ever go there. I flew to Virginia from California to buy it. They neglected to tell me about the cracked head. It was a fun drive home. The car is an LL Bean, so it has the H6. I immediately took it to Ken Fowler Subaru in Ukiah, CA to get it fixed. They proceeded to charge me $4,500 to replace a cracked head, but that was only after they quoted me $2,300 to do the job. Yeah, this has been a 3 month nightmare that has cost me over $12k so far. But wait, there's more! Within 1 mile of leaving Ken Fowler Subaru it throws 3 codes: P0011- Intake Cam Position Timing Over Advanced Bank 1 P0018- Crank Position Cam Position Correlation Bank 2 Sensor A P0016- Crank Position Cam Position Correlation Bank 1 Sensor A The car is running poorly and the transmission is shifting erratically. They charged me $120/hr for labor and the mechanic didn't set the timing correctly. Is there anything else that could cause these codes? Is this an interference engine? I swear I can hear a ticking when it's running. I just picked the car up at closing time on Friday. Tomorrow is going to be a day of reckoning and I want to have as much ammunition as possible. Thanks.
