Internal engine damage because timing belt snapped
What happened:
I bought this car from an auction as a daily driver for myself and fully rebuilt the motor (mls headgaskets, head bolts, all seals, oil pan, etc.)
I was informed that the timing belt was recently replaced, and that is what it looked like. Unfortunately, that was not the case. It was either an old belt or replaced by a knock off subaru timing belt.
I got the car running and went for a test drive. On that test drive, the belt snapped and now there is more than likely internal engine damage due to it being an interference engine.
It is a very good parts car or rebuild but there are something’s to mention:
The interior is in very good condition, near flawless
The exterior on the other hand is beat up with dents and scratches. I ended up replacing the fenders and the trunk since they were in a horrible condition.
Looking for $1,700 cash, clean title in hand
