Launch your own Lemons career for less than $2500? This 1993 Subaru Impreza is billed as more or less Lemons legal.
“Power steering and transmission both leak,” the ad states. “Can be fixed for minimal cost, just never got around to it.”
Currently, the listing continues, the Subaru is being used as a shop ornament and lawn mower jump box.
maybe turn it into a low buck rallycross car, that's another idea.
In reply to myusdmcavalier :
I like that idea.
If someone in the SE wants to start a Lemons team I'm interested. I have a new harness and I can pay for half the car any day.
Engine swap it first. I have only seen 1 or 2 subarus survive the race weekends over the last 14 years of racing lemons and champcar.
Put in a gm 60 gegree v6...

Having replaced enough German 2.8 and 3.1 V6s in GMs and Jeeps and knowing about crankwalk, I'd take my chances with a Subie 2.2.

Fair enough. The 3400, 3500, and 3900 are stout. Had a head gasket issue once in 5 years of racing at the front with them.
I still stand by my thought about the Subaru engines. My buddies ran one for a few years. They went through about 2 engines every 3 races.
They are probably fine for sprint racing and other motorsports, but they just don't seem to work with cheap car endurance races.

I (hope) that they meant the pushrod engine, not the SAAB/Opel engine from such illustrious vehicles as the Cadillac Catera and Saturn L300.
So, did someone here buy it yet?
