2006 Subaru Outback

** Will be able to show car on Sunday the 20. Selling our 2006 Subaru Outback with 189,000 miles . It has a clean title and is being sold as a mechanic special. My elderly uncle purchased this vehicle from a reseller for $3,800, unaware that it had underlying mechanical issues. It drove well for about a day after he bought it, but then it began developing engine problems. We believe it may be something like a head gasket or another engine-related issue, but we honestly aren't sure. The car starts, runs, and drives, and everything else works, but it does have an engine issue that will need attention. From what the mechanic told us, it was something to do with the seals on the gaskets (I believe.) It would make a great project for someone familiar with Subarus or anyone looking for a mechanic special or maybe even spare parts. Unfortunately, my uncle spent nearly all of his savings buying this car and simply can't afford to repair it. We also don't have anywhere to store it, so we're asking $1,700 or best offer in hopes of helping him get enough money together for another small, reliable car. Sold as-is. And I end this with one piece of advice from our experience, please be careful when buying from resellers. We believe this vehicle may have had a temporary fix that made it seem fine during the sale, only for the issues to show up shortly afterward. We don't want to see anyone else end up in the same situation. (To be fair I wasn't with him when purchased or else I would have intervened.) If you have any questions or would like to come take a look, feel free to message me. Reasonable offers are welcome.
