Is it worth replacing the engine on a '09 Subaru Liberty?
In going order it’s worth $7000-$9000 depending on condition, so you have to consider if it’s worth spending $5000 on it to get it back on the road. It’s eight years old, has done 180,000 km, it’s probably best to sell it to a wrecker if you can get $2000 for it.

Under control
THE old practice was to avoid maintaining the engine at a constant speed during the run-in period, but it's not needed with modern engines. We asked Subaru for an opinion and they agreed the advice you received was misguided. You can use cruise control without damaging your engine.
