A friend of mine needs a good low mileage 2.5 motor for his 2005 Legacy.
He is located in the Scranton area of PA but will travel within reason.
Can anyone help him out?

Let me see what I can do for ya Frank. What is a reasonable $$ amount he's willing to spend so I know what to jump on? I have 2 local shops I can hit up for him.
Side Note:
BTW, I have not forgotten what I still owe you...

I am sure he is wiling to pay what is reasonable, it is for is girlfriends car. I don't even know what these go for, I will just trust a reputable dealer to be fair with him.

These both are private Subaru garages that warehouse parts from auction cars that get stripped & scrapped. I worked for the one for a while, so I know that they have a ton of parts that they are sitting on in a seperate building behind the shop.

Ok, they both got back to me today (finally) and they will only sell them as a full long block and they want over $900... The price is a little over the top in my opinion!
You may want to check with the guys on SLi.net & RS25.com to see if any are for sale at a better price ($500ish)
