Yes, but with AWD and an electronic lock, it'll pull it out better than most trucks.


Sean, I think he was being serious. It's a common thing. This guy at my school put a 2 1/4 receiver on the front of his Prius.

I'm waiting for a call back from a Subaru dealer to take it in tomorrow.

I was serious. It was fairly common to have a receiver both in the front and back when I lived in Oregon. I had them on my F150 so I can mount a receiver mounted winch or hitch.

I talked with the dealer once again this morning to make sure I would get the answer I needed. And basically, to really check what I want them to, they want $200-$300 or even more. And when I can buy a used turbo for $300-$400, I don't see the reason to pay a mechanic to check it out. I can tell if the turbo is bad, they will do two tests, pull off the intake pipe to check the compressor wheel for play and pull off the downpipe to check for oil. But of course, this guy won't allow my to take his car apart.

Seeing as how the seller said that he would not be paying for any repairs, nor would he cut me a deal on the car, worst case scenario, I'm not in the mood for that car anymore. It has a problem, and it is too expensive to be sold as a problem car. Basically, he would rather sell the car to someone who doesn't know the difference for the full price.


I'm now leaning more towards the first car that I drove, a black one. It has more miles, but is $2200 less and it has a new turbo already.

So... I'm still looking. Also prob going to test drive a silver one this weekend. With a stupid WRX wing instead of the STI wing. I hate when STI guys do that. If I get the silver one, I'll probably end up getting an STI wing with the extensions. I might even do that whichever car I get.
