I am so screwed on this car, already upside down. At the point where I will take a loss or just put in the back of the garage for a few years and hope the cache of these increases the value.
It is an automatic, 200K miles. Small bubbling area in one dog leg but otherwise no rust issues. Stock baja seats have no tears, currently using some WRX seats to keep the stock ones pretty. Factory bed cover included. It has a flood title but I cannot find any evidence of a flood on the car. I think they drove it through a big puddle at some time and broke the motor. Bought it last year with a forester motor of unknown condition. Turned out to be pretty bad. This year I replaced the timing belt stuff, engine wiring harness and just about every rubber hose on the engine. If it couldn't be flexed between my fingers it got replaced. It ran great, the AVCS and turbo combo make for some real power. Until it didn't. Leakdown confirmed one side has almost 0, air coming right thru the crankcase. It is not seized and did run but sounded terrible. So now it is out of the car and I just bought the tools to pull the cam sprockets and heads.
I will take a beating selling for 6K, but no less. That is what the car and new parts cost me, I will eat the shop labor paid to do the timing belt and valve adjustment. If there are no bites it can sit until I find a rebuild short block.
