It does have the 2.5 (had both HGs replaced about 2 yrs ago along with other seals replaced,helped him do rear down) and new clutch a yr ago..has about 170k on odometer..

 

only thing it needs is cat,possiable wheel bearing and a couple small things (side marker,door clips,radio,spot of rust along rear wheel arch,etc) and my friend is asking like $1500-$1600 for it..

 

is there anything that i need to look for that could be issues down the line (something that this yr leg is know to have issues with) ?

 

will have to inquire about timing belt seeing that the 2.5 is interference engine (am i correct ?)

 

can't wait to get back into Subaru again.. i got a couple pics but not great ones..(will update when i get better ones,couldn't back up enough in garage to get full pic)

Yes, it is an interference engine.

 

Do you have any idea who did the head gasket job or the parts that were used? I would at most get a leak down and/or a compression test done on it.

IIRC,my friend (has been working on soobs for years) and his friend (who is a soob dealer mech) did the HG..i think he even had the heads planed too..not sure of parts used (oem vs aftermarket)

 

when i talk to him this weekend,will have to inquire..

just a sneak peak..bad pics really

 

 

If they've lasted 2 years the HGs are probably Subaru replacements and are undoubtedly doing fine.

Gut the cat put a spacer on the rear O2 sensor and call it good. If it isn't rusting out underneath $1500 is a pretty good deal for needing only minimal work.
