hooziewhatsit Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 '87 wagon, SPFI, dealer wants $3000 (including tax) to fix this list of stuff: one rear bearing, new shoes front caliper/rotors rt front wheel bearing rt front tie rod master cylinder power steering leak new drive belt She was driving, the brakes 'died' and she rear-ended someone at about 10mph. She's fine, and the car has a couple more dents; no big deal. Now, the car is at Camp Subaru, and they have that list of things that 'need repaired'. I also don't know why the brakes died. So, if anyone in the area would like to help fix it, or just buy it for parts, she would sure appreciate it. She's planning her wedding now, so she can use any extra money she can get. Thanks, -Dave edit: oh yea, both of the front axles are virtually brand new, one's 6 months old the other is 1 month old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooziewhatsit Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thanks for the offers guys; I'll call her today and see what she'd want for it. I should also mention it has ~265k on it, and I replaced the HGs about 10k ago. I'm also pretty sure it can't be driven (safely) right now with the brakes how they are. I'm also not sure what all the dealer has taken off it right now. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 If it were me I would take the money that she can get for the car as is and add that to the 3 grand that would be spent on repairs to get another vehicle. Why spend that much on a car that may be worth only 2 grand at most? There are lots of good deals out there so finding one shouldn't be too hard.
