By saying replace I was indicating a swap with a used engine. A rebuild of my own engine seems like the best option. But a rebuild service is a lot more expensive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love the car but I think I might be just be digging a deeper hole. My wife calls it the money pit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Add it to my original post..... having a stroke has put me in poor position Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only bad thing for me is that I had a stroke shortly after I bought the car. I no longer have control of my right arm and hand so I cannot do most of the work myself. I was unable to drive the car for more than a year and a half as it sat there and depreciated. I’ve always wanted a WRX, but being married and two kids I never had a chance to get my play car. Well I got that chance in getting the 2005 Legacy GT, A back-and-forth to work car and also a extremely fun car to drive.

What I mean by replace it is replace the engine basically with a used junkyard dog. I’ve heard from a lot of Subaru techs that you don’t know what you’re getting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The car is only worth around 6 to 7 grand with a working motor but currently the engine has failed. I had the oil pan removed so to take a look at the crank and #4 piston rod was loose on the crank. It’s evident of bearings on the crank failure. The question is to have someone rebuild the engine or sell the car for scrap. I love the car and I bought it with the long-term reputation of Subarus in mind. But spending 5 to 8 grand on a car that’s really worth 6 to 7 is questionable. Any ideas?
