Replying to: bumpy (Jul 18, 2009 6:34 pm) That is not correct, sir. 22R and RE is a 2.4 liter engine. And I'm not positive, but I believe it had a dual-row chain. I replaced the head gasket in 1994, so the memory is a bit hazy, as you can understand. |

Replying to: stickguy (Jul 19, 2009 1:37 pm) LOL, I have to admit, I've made the same mistake a few times. Lately, I've had the bad habit of somehow managing to lose a decade when I reminisce about the past. If I talk about something that happened in 2004, for example, I'll muff up and say '94! It's scary though, how fast the time goes by. I haven't bought anything since my '79 NY'er back on May 19, 2007...26 months ago! I think my longest abstinence period is just under 31 months. My Mom sold the '85 Silverado to me in late September 2002, and I bought my '76 LeMans on April 17, 2005. Weird, how some dates just stick in your mind like that.

...or do I just want to renew my CCBA membership? Was poking around the 'net this morning (back to back conference calls gives one the time to do this), and found something that might be tempting: Subaru Outback Was thinking about a straight up trade of my '03 Saturn L300 - 85K miles. My thinking is that having a wagon (for the room) and AWD (for CO winters) might not be a bad thing. Thoughts?

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 20, 2009 8:30 am) OK, here are the details: 2001 Subaru Outback, medium green over silver with beige leather interior. 2.5L H-4, automatic, 93K miles. Looks to be a Limited model. New tires, dual sunroofs. Dealer is asking $6495. What would I look for on this car?

Replying to: michaell (Jul 20, 2009 8:58 am) The price sounds ok off the top of my head (I have this vision that my '97 Outback Limited with ~74,000 miles is still worth over $5,000  ). My seals are weeping a little but nothing that can't wait until the timing belt gets done.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 20, 2009 9:19 am) Yeah, the timing belt is the one thing I was thinking (concerned) with. I've gotta research my L to see when it's supposed to get changed. I wonder if the asking price is so low because they know the belt needs replacement within the first year, and if they replace it they would jack the price up to $7195? Also, from the ad: THIS VEHICLE RUNS REAL WELL AND ALSO COMES WITH A 6 MONTH WARRANTY. Wonder what the warranty covers?
