Pottle Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hello, I'm new to the forum and to Subaru(hopefully). Found a 05 GT local that looks promising. Car has 116k and a manual trans. Seller is asking $9600. That about right? From what I've seen, people ask quite a bit even with high mileage, but this mileage isn't that bad. What's the general life span of the motors on these? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottle Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Picking this up within the next few days! Seller keeps telling me it has a timing chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Change ur fluids a lot and hope your oil pickup lasts a long time should be fine. I bought mine with 162K for 7500. so yeap they hold their value. Change all fluids carefully right away after u buy. Look up how to do each fluid on this forum... touchy business sometimes. You could install the killer b oil pickup but it takes awhile.. Timing chain?? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller keeps telling me it has a timing chain. you should get a discount as this would be a 1-off conversion with absolutely no support from the factory Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
