Hi gbhrps,
I am a PhD student in Toronto, on a budget and looking to by a used 2002 Subaru Outback. Major problem is rust in particular one spot above the wheel (under fuel door). I know you posted on this topic before and I read that thread.
I am concerned about the rust from an Ontario Safety Cert. and Emissions test perspective...and whether the cost of repair is worth it. I suspect it won't pass either just based on this rust problem.
The car is otherwise in good shape, which makes it a shame. Seller wanted $2,800 CDN but is now willing to sell as is and I don't think it is worth more than $300-400 given just the rust repair cost to be road ready.
Any wisdom here would be much appreciated. Should I run or make an offer?
Thanks much
