Didn't know how much the coat was. Daughter was lookin at a 2013 with about 120k on it for 6k. Sounds like something major is needed.....

I looked into the head gasket problem with subaru engines turned out the gasket design was prone to separation of a coating on it. There are after market gasket that are a much better design. I love my 2019 Outback btw.
They can be found but ya' gotta; look hard. I bought my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee for $4800 out the door in Atlanta. It had 132K miles and other than a small tear in the drivers seat cushion, it was darned near perfect AND it had 5 brand new Michelin tires-even the spare. The inline 6 4.0 L Jeep motor is known for 300K if you service it properly.Attachment 320258 If you part out the Suburu, look for a 4.0 Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee with lowest miles. Just my observations any way. Murf
BTW, the 5.2L jeep motors from that period are known for running hot and blowing head gaskets too. 4.0L-no problems I know off.

IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us! The more I travel, the more I like right where I am.
Old mechanics trick is to black magic the window channels and the cable if it is cable operated. I've had two liberty regulators go bad oddly in the back.
As far as windows breaking, I had a 1964 Ford Galaxy that had manual windows. There was a little plastic clip about the size of a nickel that held the rod that raised and lowered the window to the bottom of the window. That clip would constantly break. I kept spares in the glove box and got to the point where I could replace it in about 5 minutes.
A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.
I had a 92 Ford E-150 Club Wagon that had elect windows and the little gearbox had 6 plastic balls in it which,of course, got ground up in the metal gears. I replaced them with 6 1/4" hex nuts with the corners ground off and never had another problem.
when it comes to auto manufactures, if cheap is good cheaper is better...for them.
