How much will it cost to have an A/C compressor replaced on an 1989 Suzuki Sidekick 1.3 L engine?

The car itself is a good vehicle but at that milage the head gaskets get to be a problem on the 2.5 litre models. Not the end of the world , but costly if you can't do it yourself. If you buy it cheap enough and it's running well, you may luck out and not have any major problems with those gaskets. I have several customers with over 300,000 kms on their cars and no major problems outside of maintenance.

98 Honda Accord LX 4 Cylinder V-Tech Engine?

Subaru's are Japanese cars and very good and reliable. You should probably run a car-fax history report. I personally don't have a Subaru but do know they are Japanese. Japanese cars have to have the timing belt changed every 60 thousand miles or so. So you might check on that.

I just bought a 1998 Subaru Impreza and this is the scoop. The engine is designed to last between 225K and 275K miles. I would recommend asking the seller to have it looked at by a local subaru dealer. I had mine looked at the Subaru dealer in Santa Monica, CA and they made a list of what was needed to be fixed. They charged $100 bucks for what they called a multi-point inspection. There are mobile mechanics that will also be glad to inspect the vehicle for about the same cost. If the seller won't let you have an expert look at the vehicle, this may be a red flag as to possible problems waiting dormant.

What is meant by 'MITSUBISHI'?

I used to be a service adviser at Subaru dealers before my accident. I find these cars are great if they are serviced properly, they can last up to 300,000 miles. Does it have a 2.5 DOHC or SOHC? Timing belts should be changed just as a precaution. If it has been maintained properly then it should be alright. Are you buying it with a safety? Take it to a mechanic you trust to have him check it.
