He's trying to get $1575 for a used 2.5 DOHC forester motor with 38,000 miles. He is claiming that the junkyards want $2500 for a high milage motor! Hahaha! I asked the local junkyard what they were selling EJ22 motors for and they wanted $250 I think.

He's just pulling that price out of his ass.

Hi,

Did you blow your Legacy engine? Drive too far while your Forester was overheating? Have high miles on a beautiful Outback that is no longer reliable on trips? I have this low mileage Subaru 2.5L EJ-25 SOHC Engine for sale. It's out of a 2001 Forester, non-turbo. The car was a rollover with only 38,000 miles on it. Engine is in perfect shape. It's a complete long block with fuel injection, wiring & some smaller hoses all intact. This should fit all 2000-2004 Subarus without turbo & may fit more years. Can also be a good upgrade from a 2.2L for those wanting to do that. The junkyards want $2500 for a high mileage engine, so this is your chance to upgrade your car at a great price.


If you have a good car that needs a lower mileage engine, please email with questions or to make an appointment to check it out. I'm located in the Portland area, but would work with you to get the engine to Seattle or meet you 1/2 way


Also, this is one of the best motors to swap into a Volkswagen Vanagon. If you are considering a Vanagon Engine swap, here's your chance. I can help you find a source for all the little bits & pieces you would need to do that.

Thanks, David

It's also a serious downgrade from a 2.2. It might not be "what she said", but bigger is not always better.
