I forgot to mention. Sold the Subaru. We last left the Subaru with blown gaskets. Tim at work told me I could probably get 2-3k from a Subaru enthusiast. I didn’t know how to sell a car that books for $5k in need of $3 of repairs. I couldn’t imagine anyone wanting that.<\/p>\n
RAW put in the gasket sealer and it seems to be working. No more temp fluctuations. He put an ad in the Advertiser with no detail. I think it said.<\/p>\n
1999 Subaru, make offer<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It wasn’t long after the paper came out we got our buyer. RAW told him all that we know is wrong with it (an exhaust problem appears after I stopped driving it). The guy called his mechanic and he told him about the same as we heard to fix it.<\/p>\n
He wanted to buy it for his daughter who’s car died. He seemed good with the gasket fix we did. He just wants 10k miles out of it. RAW started the price at $3200 then called me at work and put me on the spot with the guy on what I want to sell it for. I told RAW, $2300. The guy said $2000. We said sold. Really that is all we really expected to get for it.<\/p>\n
The guy put $100 down and would finish the transaction the next day (I still needed to sign the title anyway).<\/p>\n
Then a Subaru enthusiast called. He said he can pull the motor and fix the gasket for $200. He had a Subaru right now with 250k miles and would like one with less miles.<\/p>\n
We might of gotten a little more money from him and I would of felt better about what is wrong with the car since he knows how to fix it.<\/p>\n
H, at work said what you got to do is take phone numbers and prices and call the one you like best back at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
Of course RAW hears that that guy could fix the problem for little money. He is now wishing we could of paid $500 to this guy to fix it and then he keep it.<\/p>\n
Bottom line, is I got $2000 to add to the kitchen fund and the Subaru is out of the driveway.<\/p>\n
