Looking to scrap/junk/part out a vehicle (99 subaru legacy) that has been sitting idle for 2 years. Only problem was the keyway getting mangled from a loose pulley, just never got the time to fix it. Not looking to make $$, just get rid of it because I have to move soon, but would I have better chances with craigslist or a local yard/junker?
If craigslist, how should I list, and what price is typical (% of kbb)?
If a yard, how can I find a good one, and what paperwork do I have to do?

>Only problem was the keyway getting mangled
So, the keyhole for the ignition is fucked?
'Loose pulley' my ass, you stole it.

no, crankshaft keyway. Woodruff key sheared off from wobbling crank pulley, probably because the bolts weren't torqued to spec.
One mechanic I took it to a while back said I would potentially need a new crankshaft/engine, but most forums I've seen have suggested fixes with loctite that just take some time, tools, and labor.

completely different, this is on the crank pulley
if you put it on Craigslist as a scrap car all someones going to do is give you $150ish for it, cut out the cat converter, then sell it to a junkyard. put it as a project car for $500 for 2-3 days saying it needs the keyway repaired, if you get no hits just sell it for the $150 scrap

Scrap yard will likely give you around $100-200. Put it on CL for $500 and sell it for the first offer over $300.

You really think it'll fetch that much? There is a bit of rust on the exterior in places, it'll need a new pulley, belt, prob tires, etc, the interior will need cleaned.
Like I said, it has been sitting outside for 2 years in all seasons.
How does the transfer of ownership differ between selling to a person or to a scrapyard, if at all? Title's in a family member's name (agreement b/c they helped pay for half when I got it) but they said they're willing to go to the DMV/do whatever to help me get rid of it.

not sure it would pass as a project car
Where are you at?

I'm sure somebody in or around your city needs an Outback for parts.

OP pls, if your near me I'll buy it

I don't understand what's actually wrong there, but if it's a '99 model, you can probably just find an intact engine at a scrapyard and swap them out.
Or drop in a small block V8.

I'd love to keep it if I could but I'll be moving at the end of the month and doubt I could complete it in that time.
I'm east coast for those wondering where I'm at
