soldier of misfortune

Thanks, will keep those for reference.

Yes, I spoke to him already, all was clear enough.
Is there a recommended source for good Subaru parts at all?

Ha, thanks alot everyone for the input, really helped my decision making.
After a lifetime of searching (read: 6 months) I was lucky enough to come across a nice 2Gen Liberty Sedan, which thankfully was close to where I live in NSW (had to look around Sydney at one point, 1 1/2 hours from my area).
This in particular is one I am seriously considering, got an inspection the other day, most things in good working order, done just short of 200 000 km but what can you expect from a car this age (MY98)
One thing that was mentioned in particular was that there was a considerable oil leak, which may be a camshaft seal or something more serious, as it is unknown until the engine is taken completely apart.
If I go ahead with this Liberty (and its a Blistein Edition so many good features to begin with), what is the likely cost of getting replacement Camshaft seals (the original owner has agreed to fit them as necessary and other required work) and do you guys recommend a particular source of good Subaru Parts?
Thanks for all the help.

Haha, this thread was a good read, thanks for the advice. Would it be preferable then to perhaps opt for the Gen 3 Liberty wagon or is the Gen 3 Sedan just as good?

Ok thanks, just trying to get as much info as possible.
