wonderbread Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Year, Make and Model: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Color: Silver w/ black interior and leather seats Miles: 180K on the body/80K on the engine Transmission: 5MT Title: Clean In Hand Lien: None Location: Hanford, CA Seller's email address: mforshay@gmail Asking Price: $7K $6K This car has been my baby. It may be hard to believe but I have honestly never launched it due to the amount of torque it's got and fear that I might break something. I downshifted to 3rd when I should've gone to 4th, don't know what I was thinking. It's got typical wear and tear for a car of this age but no major dings or dents. Selling due to financial hardship. Engine/Power: !!! BENT VALVE or possible ROD KNOCK !!!

whitetiger Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 $7k for a YNANSBAT+headwork special on a 180K mile chassis? I dont know. you might want to part this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Electric Wizard Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Right. I might pay 3k. The issue for me is that I'd have to drive it back to Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWebb Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Less than $10K for 320AWHP and 360AWTQ isn't so bad, is it? Honest if it was running no. But its not running and needs a lot of $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Honest if it was running no. But its not running and needs a lot of $ It definitely doesn't need $4K if it's just valves. I'll have a compression/leakdown test done to narrow down the possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 rod knock is usually a new short block minimum 1800$, plus everything else is usually $2000. bad valve is head job @1000-1500, new valves, springs, seats are $1000 depending on upgrades. 80k on the motor seems early for a failure. If it wasn't covid, Id buy it and limp it home Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a compression/leakdown test done to narrow down the possibilities. 180k on an '06 is worth 6/7k running. Dont assume after market parts bring value. As said before a part out is your best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 It only failed because I shifted into 3rd on the highway when I shouldve gone to 4th. It was completely driver error, nothing to do with the mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I won't have enough time to part it out. I am up for orders this month and there's no way the Navy is keeping me where I am due to my sea/shore rotation.

wonderbread Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Crap, where did the photos go?? I put them on NASIOC and they were showing up. I'll try another host. The 5MT did survive. I also have an 06 STi 6MT that I'll be selling if I don't fix and keep the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
