vanman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 2008, WRX, 142000 miles, bad clutch It hasn't been started in months. (I believe it, there were cobb webs in the engine compartment.) It started up after jumping it. It sounded ok. But when I had him rev the engine, blue smoke came out of both exhaust. Not just once but each of about 5 times when it was done. He wants $5000 for it. Thanks, Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The oil could be the seals in the turbo gone bad, if you are seriously looking I would at least do a compression check/leakdown test. 2008 was a new model year so I have heard not good things about them.

BoozeRS05 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 08 got the shaft with the WRX especially. At least in 09 they started coming with a vf52, but 08 is one of the least desirable body styles and a td04 still.
