Vehicle description
I bought this car in 2014 off the original owner family in Colorado. In 2014 I replace the automatic transmission with about 90k miles, so the transmission has about 30-40K less miles than the car and engine. I drove it as a daily for a little less than two years 2014-2016, then around 150,000 miles it blew a head gasket, as these are notorious for doing. I took time to find good heads (that took months searching parts yards), and did a entire engine overhaul with the help of an expert mechanic. I runs so well! The check engine light came on after we put the engine back in and attached the computer. I have had three different mechanics test it, and all three say it is likely minor (e.g. an emissions sensor or something like that), if anything at.
I have been driving this era Subaru since the early 90"s. They are great little cars - I wish they still made cars like these. The four-wheel drive is surprisingly good. I have only driven this a handful of times since 2017. In February I moved from Columbus OH to Lansing MI - 250+ miles - and drove this up there at a clean 70. Four hour drive, no issues at all. Runs like a top.
