Here's why you should NEVER EVER Buy a Cheap Subaru (total mechanical/rust DISASTERS) Baja XT Turbo

Lots of new Hoovie's Garage merch NEW $5 STICKERS HERE:

Wizards face is absolutely priceless when he first sees the sills when putting the ramp legs under…..had me in tears! This video is hilarious……feel sorry for you though Tyler!

[kylekampling]

I laughed out loud multiple times during this one: the gas door piece blowing away, the pieces of it literally falling off, and hoovie and wizard running for the hills when he freely moved the lift arm 🤣🤣🤣

Good to see some regular cars again. Makes the content more relatable instead of seeing Supercars all the time. Appreciate it cheers.

[ISKLEMMI]

I didn't realize the sale price of rust was so dang high these days.
In all seriousness, though, it's a real shame to see such a fun, unique little car rotting away like that.

[Arcturuseyes]

When you guys realized the 4 point lift was only holding 3 points, and Wizard moved the arm of the lift...I've never seen him move so fast

[RyanGarr]

I know you probably regretted that purchase, but y’all’s reaction to the lift’s arm free-swinging was gold!

[imagemedia]

This is absolutely gold YouTube content. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I think what makes it so perfect is that nearly every one of us can relate to it. We've all had at least one Hooptie that we bought with hard-earned paper-route money. Being from Michigan, the sound of a jack crunching through rusted metal is something everybody will have experienced at least once in their lives.

As a Baja owner, I gotta say.. i started looking in 2018. Looked at 12 before i bought mine. Zero rust, mechanically sound!

[royprime]

Well, the good news is you can break it for lots of good spares. As a bonus with the amount of rust on this thing you probably won't have to unbolt anything, it will probably pull straight off.

This is one of my favorite episodes of Hoovie's garage in a long, long time. I have gotten a bit tired of seeing the unobtanium (for me) that has populated more recent episodes. The Baja is a vehicle that I can actually imagine affording. That alone makes this episode relatable and more engaging. But then add in the catastrophic rust issues and Car Wizard's genuine reaction to the condition of the car and you have gold.

THIS is what I’m talking about. Back to basics with the channel. I’m so tired of supercars on YouTube. More of this.

[matthewcaughey]

Based off what’s still good on that car you might be able to minimize the financial damage. You’ve got 4 good doors that might be worth 500 bucks. You’ve got a good drivetrain that someone might be willing to buy. The engine and trans are worth a few grand, the interior has good seats and trim pieces. I would suggest gutting the car for any good parts that are worth money. Then after your done haul the hulk to the local scrap dealer and that should get you a few hundred bucks

[ryanladuke]

I would absolutely love to get my hands on that thing. I have a 300k mile RUST FREE Subaru baja non turbo with a tired engine that I would love to swap the turbo bits into. They are great cars if you can find a good one

[CCOCCARO]

This would be a great opportunity to show viewers how much they might expect to recoup after a purchase disaster by parting out. You might have the support staff to follow it too and update your subscribers. Agree with other comments to leave the unobtanium to Supercar Blondie.

[digitalproductions]

For starters, this is weird because a Baja that looks EXACTLY like this one sat outside, neglected in the parking lot at my apartments for literally YEARS. It actually just disappeared from the lot a couple months ago. I live in Nebraska btw.
Secondly, awesome to see a more down to earth vehicle for a change on the channel!

[curiouscrandall]

Surely, you could auction it as "for parts only, not safe to drive"? That engine and the transmission is worth a few dollars.
Seems a shame to get a perfectly good engine crushed.

[ammoalamo]

I appreciate how Hooptie showed his basic integrity by removing this unsafe thing from the road, even though it cost him a bunch of money to do that. Thank you very much, you are a good man, sir. It's only money - and you know how to make more of that, better than many people, at least.
Rust never sleeps. Many people in dry southern parts of the US do not understand what rust does to vehicles that are kept in area where there is salt water, or where the roads are salted, or where a car could be used to drive through watery areas.

[austo]

This may be the most I've ever physically laughed at a video. The interaction when Tyler says "I paid $9000 for it..." - GOLD. Worth every penny for the content Tyler. Worth every penny.

[aedwards]

The engine is OK, so could you find a Legacy or Impreza with a broken engine/transmission and swap the engine out of this into it? A manual 2.5 turbo Outback might be fun.

[AmandaHugenkiss]

Good lesson for those who can be financially devastated by something like this. Never ever buy sight unseen and thoroughly inspect it.
