October 1, 200520 yr I am a firm believer in used autos. I had a GREAT 97 2.2 liter Subaru from Anchorage only to have it totaled by a Russian on I-5. Enough of that, I am in the market again after a year of missing my Subaru. I want to buy a very new used one say 2000 up to 2005 or so. WHEN WAS THE HEAD GASKET ISSUE RESOLVED? Or is it still an issue? if it is still an issue what is the cost to have it redone at a shop?(Then I can deduct that from the selling price)

Any of the phase 2s are pretty solid as all they are prone to is small external leaks. Subau claims its sealer clears this up.
October 2, 200520 yr Sounds about right. Do keep in mind that the HG issue is a weakness, not a certain-to-happen fault.
