well guys, it's even worse. They got the water pump and timing belt in, but they've now noticed that all 5 pulleys are bad. The rubber has melted off of all 5, and said that they all need replacing. This adds another $600 to the bill, but said that no additional labor is needed since they had to pull the pulleys already. They're not even sure yet if there might be engine damage to the gaskets. So this makes the bill around $1300. What am i to do? Ask them to just take the car and sell it to them? I'm just a college student, didn't think it would be costing this much..... Ugg.....

jsvxstyle hooked me up with some new pulleys, at about half the cost from Subaru, the exact same pulleys, just not through the dealer, so PM him to check on them, and ask him about the other items you need, as he's much cheaper than the dealers cost.
