youngtryhard Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I have a 2007 legacy Gt 5 speed with 117k miles. I bought a while a go from a dealer and turned out the car had bad compression on cylinder one. Me being stupid never got a compression test on the car because i thought the reason it was miss-firing was bad spark plug or injector. Anyways now i owe money to the bank on a car that is broken and I wanna pay it off. So i was thinking of-parting it out. I cant really afford to fix it because i just recently bought my first home and rather spend my money on things i need to keep my home looking well. The body of the car is in awesome shape and the interior is 10/10. What do you guys think ? here are so pictures Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relative4 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Have you done a leakdown test? If it's just a burnt valve, since you clearly have the chops to pull the engine, you could just get the head rebuilt and only be out like $500 for the repair. Then you could sell it for good money. How much did you pay / do you owe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkinslow Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 With little or no aftermarket parts you are probably better off selling it as is. That's a pretty clean car and would be ideal for someone considering a build. A part out might yield slightly more money but would take a lot of time and labor.
