Haven't seen postings made by them for quite some time also.

 

I love how it says the 2011 is in the "performance building stage" meaning- the dumb F$cks for mechanics are trying to figure out how to put the thing back together because when we bought it the engine was in the trunk.

 

In for pics of that accident!

 

Anyone know anything about this car?

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/3694151317.html

 

A lot of down fail

 

Don't do it

 

Yeah, don't buy a salvage titled car. It's never worth the headaches, unless you know for sure you're going to run it til the wheels fall off.

Some salvage title cars are actually pretty decent depending on who did the work, where it was wrecked/what caused it. Doesn't bother me really if it was repaired properly. Just not worth driving 250 miles to go look at iy and its a junker ya know? Car would be used for autox/track/ect.

i work on subarus for a living, but ive never heard of "First gear has a belt linkage" thats a new one!

 

could be a good project though

 

Probably trying to say bent linkage.

 

Oh yeah, good point - I didn't consider the track possibility.

 

I think we can agree that the seller of that car is not a very bright individual

 

How much do you guys think this 1998 impreza rs is worth? (Probably not $2800)

Unless you are doing the HG yourself... that is going to be an expensive RS with body damage and rust.

 

And it's an AUTO.

 

Yeah I am very mechanically abled. I would do the HG myself.

I know its an auto but my dad says he needs it to be an auto. Grrr. Hes got the money though.

I would like a 5 speed but am flexible about it. I suppose I could go through the headache of swapping the trans to a manual in the future though.

I'm almost 19, just so you don't think I'm some 14 year old on here.

 

4 years= a **** ton of experience these days?

Who is the car for? You and your pops sharing it?

Double your money and buy a newer turbo model.

 

I not saying I'm the expert but I have been working on engines of all sorts since I was about ten or so. I have also taken all the shop classes mainly engines/autos that my school has to offer.

Not trying to sound mean or anything.

 

Also the car is for me, as a daily driver. My dad isn't mechanically inclined like myself, I have had to learn about engines and such on my own, by doing research and a lot of reading, as well as hands on of course. Which is the best part.

 

Ok thank you for the help. I'll steer clear of it.

 

Just to give you an idea, I sold my 98 Impreza "L" last fall for over a grand less than that. And had very little rust, minor dings, and had 215k on the clock.

 

Here you go, it is even an auto.

I just wish my car could have gone 100k with no problems.

 

219k miles, no thanks

 

Whats your budget?

 

$3000 for a decent daily driver.

Maybe up to $2000 for a project or car with slight mechanical problems.

Looking for Impreza's specifically, maybe not wrxs though because of the higher insurance.

 

Well good luck with your search.

 

Just get a Honda civic. Save up and buy something you want.

 

Thank you for not treating me like some little kid.

I like the look if the sedans better. Mostly because of rhe steep slope of the rear window.

I live in Coon Rapids, MN and could travel 100 miles depending on the deal.

A decent body, not perfect would be good. I am going up to Fargo, ND for college this fall which is why Subarus are my top choice right now, that and I love boxer engine design.

 

^Sioux Falls and Omaha are great places to look also. If you want something looked at in Fargo, lmk as I live up here.

I have an 05 Impreza OBS SE im gunna sell but we are not in the same price range

 

Good advice - you will definitely find a better deal outside of Minnesota. Actually every Subaru that I've bought has been out of state...ok, 1 Subaru and 1 Saabarus

Speaking of Saabarus, you may also want to look into a Saab 9-2x 2.5i (or "Linear"). Same exact thing as an Impreza wagon, with (basically) just a Saab looking front end and different rear. They go for much cheaper than Subaru's and every single mechanical part is Subaru. The only "saab" parts would be the hood, lights, rear hatch, and fenders. The saabarus are also easier to find with nice extras, like heated seats and sunroofs. $3k might be a stretch, but you could get darn close to that price on one with over 100k miles. I recently purchased a Saabaru 2.5i in Indiana and got a smokin' deal on it.

 

Good investment opportunity, only needs a little work! http://ocala.craigslist.org/cto/3716819777.html Too bad it's in Florida.

 

looks like Batman found the Meth.

 

Every other picture I went back and forth between it being a joke...or somebodies actual pride and joy.

 

If it's a good enough joke, one can be proud of that, no?

 

I am speechless (In a bad way)

 

Yeah I skipped it. Thanks man.

 

This will be on CL soon unless I decide to pull the trigger in the next few weeks. Never seen a winter. He wants 11k for it.
