Hi All,
I am new here - looking to buy a used Subie and wanted to get some opinions on the dreaded head gaskets issue.
The vehicle i am looking at is a 2002 Liberty RX (gen3 my03). Engine is EJ251, 2.5L with about 200,000km's on the clock.
The car has been well looked after and so far has not had its head gaskets replaced.
The dealer is telling me the HG's are a not an issue.
I wanted to know whether 1) the head gaskets are an issue for this particular model, and if so 2) how likely is it that with 200kkm's that it will come up as an issue, 3) are head gaskets usually covered under dealer warranty and 4) if anyone has had their head gasket replaced how much they paid for the job.
Cheers,
SP
