Looking to keep my 03 OBS running for a few more years since we just picked up a CRV for my wife.
Had the HG/TB replaced and partly covered by Subaru at ~80k. They did a **** job and they've been slowly leaking for some time. Oil consumption is ridiculous now. I've gone trough a 5qt jug since the last oil change. No noticeable internal leaks all external. Clutch was replaced at around ~30k due to clutch judder TSB.
I've taken it to another local dealership, there are 3 within 30mi of my house. Getting what I feel is a more than fair price.
For $1800...HG, TB, water pump, thermostat, ac idler pulley and serpentine belts.
For an additional $500 they will replace the cluctch, pp and flywheel...
This is all before taxes so add in a $150. Worth it to do it all at once? Its hard to drop this much into an old car which needs a catback, fender well rust, etc. If i scrapped this car and picked up something to hold me over for 5k what would i get? Probably not much better. At least I know what I'm getting into with this car.
Does this all seem rational to you all? :lol::lol:
