Got an H4(EJ253) Outback with 198k for $500.
Not planning on keeping it much longer, as my wife wants to sell it and get an 06 XB. I just wanted to share the experience.
The bad:
Trunk struts are blown
Misfire
Needs front tires
Front fog is cracked
Front row cover is missing
Milky self adjusting rear view
Other than that just basic stuff. I'm in the process of doing balljoints, tie rods, and cv axles so I can get tires and an alignment.
The car was up north for a few, so these lower balljoints were seized. The pinch bolts are not budging as well. So I drilled them out and put a 10.8 in there.
I also am rebuilding the axles cause they're OEM. Got one done, working on the other.
Also picked up some trunk struts, fixed the misfire, changed oil, transmissions filter & fluid service, polished the headlights, and got another tow hook cover. I'll post pics of the car soon.
