Hi all,
I have a bit of a mongrel on my hands......I've come here to seek any advice I may potentially be able to get.
Here's the story:
I currently have a manual 2005 Legacy GT Limited Wagon (BSM/Black leather). I've had the car three years, two of which it has not moved. Less than six months into ownership, I was diagnosed with ringland failure, likely due to a bad tune and garbage side feed injectors that were installed before I bought the car (little did I know). I bought the car from a dealer in IL, who I later went to court with and LOST due to an incredibly shitty IL law that protects shady dealers like the one I purchased the car from. It's a long story I'd rather not get into on a forum post, but if you'd like to learn more, PM me and I'd be happy to recount my unpleasant experience. In any case, I want this thing out of my life.
Here's where I'm at today: I have what I believe is the lowest mile LGT manual wagon. The car has now been sitting for two years- it ran when parked since I installed stock injectors, and I had actually just driven the car 600 miles from MI to CT on the bad motor.
I'm trying to wrap my head around what a car like this is worth and what I should do with it. Would it be better to:
A. Sell as is
B. Put a used motor in
C. Put a new (built?) motor in
D. Buy a car with an already built motor to swap in
At this point, I'm looking for the most cost effective way of dealing with this situation. And if you've read this far, thank you
Cheers,
