Next car

Hey guys so im looking into buying another subaru soon and i found this 2.5rs thats in nice shape but it has a savage title.hnoes:

Do i stay away or do i take the risk? i'm gonna have it checked out definitely and i really don't care about resale fact since i'm gonna keep for long time and when i can, make it more fun... What are your guy's thoughts on SAVAGED title?

 

check for frame damage make sure that the head gaskets are good thats 2 of the main things

 

what year RS? It matters.

 

Its a 2000. so JasonoJordan, Can you tell me how to check the head gasket? im having a buddy at raymond check out the frame and body... but it looks fine.

 

Lol funny guy....

 

well one obvious give away of a really bad headgasket is the oil will be milky. small leaks are harder to tell but drive it a bit see if overheats

 

alright yeah ill check oil too.. Thanks.. Anything else?

 

Check all the edges of the car for paint lines from masking.

 

Im seriously considering this.

 

find out why it has a salvage title, flood, accident--> what was the extent of the damage? where was the car hit? who did the work to bring it back to life? etc etc. knowing what happened can help bring piece of mind with a salvage, the last thing you want is a salvage car that was put together all half assed.

think of a hard hit where car wasn't pulled straight with no possibility of bringing the car within tolerances when doing alignment, then burning throug tires.

 

My new baby

I got her.. All went well and i hope i made the right decision..

 

looks pretty good man, should be a fun car!!

 

Do it!! That would be intense if someone on mnsubaru owned it!

 

damn...that is just what i have been looking for. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?
