Just moved to Anchorage, looking for an SVX

So the military just moved my family and me to Anchorage, and we arrived yesterday. Prior to us leaving, I sold our Trans Am and Lightning, and Have the GTO up for sale as well. Since we're down to one vehicle, I'm lookimg for a second one and found an SVX that looks nice. I was hoping for some expert advice on it before I contact the seller about purchasing, but it sounds like a good deal. Let me know what you all think. Thanks.

Definitely looks like it's worth the price...

Should be a good deal since it has the 4.44 already and has a rebuilt engine. I would check to see if the CAT removal has caused any CEL code issues and it looks like the windshield is cracked. They can be quite difficult to find, if you are planning to replace it.

The 1996 uses bronze windshields are long gone. The only ones available new from Subaru now green/gray.

There are Chinese windshields available, but do not come with the required moldings to seal to the body.

I believe Nate486 still has a used bronze windshield with molding intact.

Would the seller consider getting a new windshield installed and you pay for the deductible?

He is throwing in a second parts car, so it may come with a good windshield, but it is definitely something I can ask about. Also, I have Florida insurance, so windshield replacements are free. I can also check if the cat is causing a cel.

I'm going to keep my eye on it. We're currently buying a house, and as soon as I have an address and a place to store a parts car (current residence is a hotel), I'll be contacting the seller.
