My 1st post;
I have a chance to buy the 06 Outback from a Subaru mechanic who purchased from a client. The engine needs to be replaced , it has 220,000 miles on it but otherwise looks really clean. My question is what else should i be wary of with that many miles? He tells me that for an additional $3000 i can have a crate engine installed. There are few maint records available. The car starts but sounds like a bad rod or lower end issue. He says everything else works fine. Is that a good price? and if so, what else should i replace while getting a new engine?
thanks a bunch...
Subaru is new to me...but i like them
