I have a 2011 Outback 2.5i premium, 6 speed. My 3rd Subaru. My timing belt broke on the highway last week. Broke with 13,000 miles before needing replaced. Interference engine. You know the situation.
Car has 175,000 miles. Previous owner did head gasket at 87,000 new clutch, at 100,000, Recently I just put on new tires last fall, all new brakes, new ball joints, this summer. Frame good, no rust on the body.
Other earlier repairs.
Here’s my question
Should I drive it into the pond next to my house?
Repair the engine, valve job etc?
Put in a rebuilt engine
Buy another outback?
Its basically used for work (contractor) and doggy travel trips, so I dont need a pristine car, just one that runs well.
Thoughts, suggestions?
