You can easy pickup a non turbo for that money seen some mint ones. If you want a rep already done, then expect to pay more.

And make sure it has been looked after. Cambelt changes are normally 250 as Subaru recommend pulleys be changed aswell, so keep that in mind.

Check oil level and gear box level, should be dip stick to the left of the intercooler.

The non turbo engines seem to last abit longer than turbo's as there is less stress on the engine with no turbo.

3.5k for a non turbo is a good budget that should see you up to a 2007 hawkeye as well as a blobeye..
