In before the close!

When Joe traded in the LGT they said they were taking it to auction, and gave him 3k for it. Then I turn around and see this? Nothing mentioning that the turbo is about to blow and will take the whole engine with it.

Typical Rotary Auto Sales/Lewiston used car dealer tactics.  I wouldn't touch a turbo Subaru from a Lewiston area dealer with a 10 foot pole, unless it was from Evergreen.  I worked in a shop down that way for a while, and ended up replacing motors/turbos in many of them (LGTs, BajaTs, Outback XTs) from other dealers when they bought them from auction, and before they went up for sale.  A few dealerships refused to do motors when they needed them and just slapped on a new turbo, leaving a grenade situation for the eventual new owner.  It was one of the big reasons I left the Lewiston scene, massively sad to see that happen.

Went and put gas in the scoob tonight... and my brakes are squeaking.... and I think I have a gas leak. It smelled like gas when I started it today (before I went and got gas). Cant wait until I can have a car that doesn't have issues lol. 

 
cars all have issues lol

mine has brake squeek too its driving me crazy 

on the 11th revision of my map 

seems logging and tuning never ends

 
Well my dads car doesn't have an problems haha so I cant wait until I don't have to worry about oil leaks and brake noise and just stupid crap that my car does like the gas gage not working.

 
I like the saabarus. Make sure the timing belt was actually done, or do it before you move that a single inch. That's a sketchy mileage for tbelts, and ppl love to skimp on pricey repairs that aren't inspection sticker related.

So tough decision. BRZ or truck. BRZ will be a good weather toy while a truck will turn into a part time tow rig for my Impreza being used as a rallyx car. Buying a BRZ means I need my Impreza for winter driving(I will be home for the start of winter).
