ACK88 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 So I hit some thick ice driving up north a few days ago. Car is being looked at through the insurance company but it sounds like it might get totaled... not 100% yet. Anyways since I don't have a car now I figured the best thing to do is look at them on the internet. I came across a posting on craigslist (say what you will about it). I'm waiting to get some more info/pictures back from the seller but here is the ad. http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/3720752417.html Let me know what you think/what I should look out for... thanks.

lee07 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Head gasket, not to sure about 3rd gen You should get more than 3 for your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACK88 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 The body shop said it was just under $5,000 of damage, and I can't figure my impreza worth much more then that. I figure either way I should have enough to cover it and get some maintenance done (depending on what I hear back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Check the rear subframe for rot. Oil for coolant, coolant for oil, external headgasket leaks. Cant speak to 4EAT. Would also want history of timing belt maintnence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lafta Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Well, you mentioned you might be buying sooner then you thought..... What did you think about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACK88 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I've looked at a couple Legacy's and a couple Foresters. Not sold on either... I'm 6'4 so I want something a little bigger. Also looked at a Honda CR-V, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4Runner I'm starting to think I'll have to pick two out of three options: low mileage, manual, or price... can't seem to find a single car in all three.
