kinda sad shape

I am kinda worried about that power steering unit. The fluid those things take is liquid gold. $500 is about all I would give.

 

Truly depends on what it looks like underneath. Connie's didn't look nowhere near as bad as this one and she started parting hers' out.

The rust looks to be migrating inward. The running gear, 5 lug stuff and other doodads are well worth the $500. It may not be too bad underneath either.

high idle - no big deal. probably just the IAC needs cleaned. $1.00 of carb or brake cleaner should fix that. very common.

 

boots cracked and not clicking. if you want to be cheap just replace the boots. even if they start clicking in a year or so they'll be fine, won't fail, and shouldn't get noisy for a very long time. or spend the $200 for MWE axles (after markets suck).

 

power steering pump probably needs brushes. they're only $20, most common power steering issue. could be low on fluid and need new fluid. that's about $20-$30 a quart for the cybrid fluid. replace the one hose and clamps before you do, so you don't risk loosing that expensive fluid over a $4 hose and clamp.

 

i also don't see the blue power steering recall wire, but maybe it's just not showing the pictures. no big deal, but Subaru had a recall for the power steering system that required running a blue wire from a harness by the drivers side strut mount in the engine bay over towards the power controller and pump. might just be hiding.

 

the rust will be the biggest issue. without crawling under it there's no way to tell how bad the main structure is. rotted fenders are unfortunately normal around here and don't really tell you anything about the main structural components.

 

if it's not overheating, loosing lots of oil, runs and drives good, the rust isn't terrible, and the clutch isn't bad it's a great $500 car.
