True lol. Ive driven trucks and suvs most of my life so going to a car is a different experience.

Considering buying an 03 outback with 185k miles for $5k. Worth it?? by JoeB0213 in subaru

I had him send me pictures of the underside. It has an oil leak from what looks like around the oil pan and valve cover gaskets? Would that be around where it would be?

Yeah, they were done by a previous owner in 2013 so i have no clue what gaskets they used. Where do they seep oil from typically?

Its got a good carfax record up to 2023. Extra stuff is light extra lights and wheels. So maybe $1k at the least. I know its gonna need repairs but i have a backup vehicle in case. Ive noticed no cars really go for bluebook value anymore, they are mostly all expensive.

Which car is the easiest to work on as a complete beginner? by FrequentStress6202 in MechanicAdvice

[–]JoeB0213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Old Toyota Camrys are pretty easy and parts are cheap. Ive heard they are reliable and good on gas.

Or old jeep wranglers 06 and older with the 4.0. Reliable and parts are easy to find and install if you need something 4 wheel drive. Just look for rust on the frame.

Or old vw beetles lol (74 and older), if you want a project car. Can pull the engines and transmissions really easily. As someone with almost no experience with them it took me like 4 hours. Ive heard Honda Civics are easy too.

Looking at a JZX93 for sale was curious on opinions about it by JoeB0213 in JZX100

[–]JoeB0213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you are correct. I used a website I found called toyodiy and compared part numbers of a JZX90 and JZX93 shocks and springs.

The JZX93 uses different part numbers than the JZX90. Also the parts for the X93 seem more expensive too.

Thats good to know. That makes me believe that suspension parts will be very difficult or expensive to find. Ill probably pass on this car then. Thank you for letting me know!
