Unless you want a one way trip towards financial ruin by all means buy one. They're all far too old and molested to be reliable transport, are stupidly expensive to fix, fuel and insure and really aren't that nice to drive. They're horribly prone to total engine failure, made worse by neglect and thrashing, anything thats had an engine replaced is suspect, what is the rest of it like! Everyone gets rid of them because they are a money pit.Given the amount of stupid and minor changes that Subaru make to vehicles, there could be all sorts of compatibility issues with whats been done. Move on.

Unless you want to live like a pauper stay away, FAR AWAY! Even if it had none of those codes I wouldn't touch one.

Subarus are great cars if you buy one that's been looked after and serviced properly. The one you're looking at sounds like it's neither of those. It'll be a money pit. Find one that has a proper service history and doesn't have a dodgy engine transplant and you'll be much better off.

Yeah I agree. Sounds like thinks have been unplugged while the key is on. Maybe while the engine was out.
