Re: Craigslist and other finds
I see the price dropped for the "SVX Ferrari" to $4K.
Could be a nice car with only 87K on it, but it has some large dents in the rear.

Re: Water pump replacements?
Hi Noriyasu,
I have repaired a Subaru (1990 Legacy with the 2.2L engine) that has a seized water pump. From what I can tell, once the pump stops turning (or stiffens up and becomes hard to turn),...

Re: Water pump replacements?
The water pump will eventually fail and seize up. If the engine is ran after that it will over heat and likely require expensive repairs. There is also risk of water pump derbies getting stuck in...

Re: Craigslist and other finds
The 46K miles BaT SVX sold for $7,100.
Not a bad price either way. I'm sure the new owner will be happy with it, and it wasn't a complete steal for the seller.

Re: Craigslist and other finds
Sold for $6100usd. The FWD thing might have kept the price down.
Still the buyer got a nice deal for a sub-100K mile car.
