Anyone know anything about it?

 

Could be legit. I remember this year having a problem of hemorrhaging oil.

 

buy it and report back.

 

"Runs good but uses oil, will need some work in future. "

buy it then tell us if its too good to be true

 

probably blown ring or something if it's eating oil. If you can find a motor, might be supa cheap.

 

Doubt it. I'd lean more towards rear separator plate, rear main seal, every front seal, etc all leaking oil. Pretty common, really. Fairly cheap fix. Cheapish. Relatively cheap.

 

Thanks for making me look stupid when I felt so smart... I shop at S-MART you know! :waves fist in air:

 

You could buy it and then buy my wrx heads/block and have a great working vehicle there.

 

You're welcome.

 

Famous quote from Evil Dead: "Shop Smart Shop S-Mark"!

 

Anyone care to venture a guess about the likelihood that the timing belt hasn't been done?

You've now successfully doubled the cost of the vehicle.

T-belt + parts + every oil seal + oil separator cover + smog on 11 y.o. car > $1100.00

 

I'd venture to guess the head gaskets aren't in the best shape either.

What do I win?

 

Gratitude!

Yeah, Rather pay like 5x that for something newer, less miles or where you know for sure what shape it's in.

 

Or you can fix it cheap enough it's worth the flip. Haha.

 

Duly noted, thanks for the info. not buying it
