I finally decided on that '97 Legacy Outback that needed the engine swap... just finished dropping the check off to the dealer. The swap still needs to be done, so I won't be able to pick it up for another seven to ten days or so, depending on how long it takes the dealer to find the replacement engine. It won't be long 'til I'm back in the driver's seat of a Subaru!

 

And to make this a worthwhile thread, can any of y'all with dealer connections verify a price for me? Either I or the dealer will end up replacing the parking brake handle rump roast'y, which ran $95 through my local Subie dealer. Seems reasonable to me, considering an eBay replacement up in VT was running $45.

Do you have a part # for the parking brake stuff?

 

If you do, you can check prices yourself
