lhrocker Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Someone is selling a 97 Legacy LS for $2400. The car had been in an accident in 04 where the engine was replaced. The car runs fine and there are no leaks. I don't know the mileage when the engine was replaced and how many miles were put on the new engine. The TB/water pump have never been replaced. Also, there is an 18" crack on the windshield and one of the front wiper motors is shot. What would you offer for this car or would you just turn and run?

idosubaru Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 no, i wouldn't buy it. i don't need a car right now. i would wonder if the air bag system is operational after the accident as well. depend a little on mileage. it's a decent deal if you need a car and it's in good running condition. seems high for a vehicle that's been wrecked and had the engine swapped. hard to say without any more info...who and how was it repaired, no info on engine...etc. *should* be an interference engine (assuming they replaced it with the same engine), so the timing belt would need to be addressed.

nipper Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 i wouldnt. The cracked windsheild would have me worried, and a good point is made about the air bags. Look closely at the windsheild and see if there is a start point from a rock or something. To do all that work and not replace the windsheild. The air bags will crack the windsheild when the go off. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
