The first one I sold was an 2002 for $4100 it had the low mile engine but the car and tranny had 190,000 on it,,,,

Re: "I think the Subaru will be fine with a newer Tranny with fewer miles on it."
I bet your brother in law's car is the exception, not the rule. And I'm sure Nemo's Subaru will be a fine car once he's done with it. But that isn't what I'm concerned about. My concern is that would-be buyers are likely to be scared of the mileage.

With what I know today, I would be comfortable with buying a car with 120,000 miles. But, unless I knew the seller, I wouldn't even consider buying one with 166,000. Too much chance that I'd take a turn and the steering wheel would fall off or . . . well . . . you get my point.

Nemo's got the car and will have it on the market shortly. As is usually the case, price is everything. My guess is that he will price it right and it will sell pretty fast. I definitely HOPE that's the case, and Nemo is very savvy about how to do that. It will be interesting, though, to hear about his experience with it. What is its blue book price?
