Cool cars for sale that ain't yours!

Did that same engine problem plague the 2.5 Legacy GT's from 2004,5,6? I traded mine back in the day because i was nervous about turbos blowing up and shit, but i never did go back and figure out if I was just being paranoid.

the cars with the EJ255, which was basically the outback/leggy/foz/some WRX's, suffered the worst of the 2.5 models.  mostly because of a $2 filter in the oil feed line that coked up and starved the turbo of oil, which then sent shrapnel to the rest of the engine.

regardless you had a lot of other non-catastrophic failures from the insanely bad stock tune that eventually cracks the piston ringlands or head gaskets starting to seep on the older ones.  

any high mileage subaru of that model range is almost guaranteed to have had a new shortblock or major work at this point.  part of the reason i bought a honda instead of one of those despite stupidly loving those cars.
