Re: Front diff failure/4.44 sanity check

Everytime I think I have no more questions it turns out I do.

So, when looking for user 4.44 donor parts, how big of an issue is mileage? Obviously lower is better, but these Outback donors are getting older everyday, and low mileage examples are getting hard to come by.

My specific point: I found an Outback here locally where the timing belt/tensioner went bad and ruined the engine. Owner is parting it out, and is willing to give the trans and rear diff (which he swears had no issues) for a little over $300. I balked when I heard the mileage though - just over 200k. Should I reconsider this or keep looking for lower mileage offerings?
