98 subaru legacy outback

Asked by Justin Dec 29, 2016 at 12:16 AM about the Subaru Outback

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So here's the deal,  6 months ago I bought a 93
legacy wagon for 750$ the heatercore just went
and I didn't want to mess with it so I spent 1000$
and bought a 98 outback, drove it for 3 days and
now it's broke down... pls help... PLEASE...lol.
This is what happened I was driving out of town
and about 30 min in I lost my defrost, then it
started to overheat, not sure if it's the heater core
again or the thermostat. How do I diagnose it?
Please help don't have money for mechanic

Many old vintage Subarus are $1000 and under for a reason, they are used up. If you must have a Subaru try to buy a newer one, if not look for an older Toyota or Honda and maybe you will make it all the way around the block. Best of luck.
