THERE IS A REASON THAT THESE SUBARU "FORESTERS" RARELY COME UP FOR AUCTION ON EBAY.  VERY SIMPLY, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "SPECIAL" VEHICLES THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY BULLET-PROOF, REGULARLY EXCEEDING 400,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WITH LITTLE MORE THAN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND AN OCCASIONAL SET OF TIRES AND BRAKES.


I AM SELLING THIS SUBARU FOR A GOOD FRIEND WHO IS NOT "INTERNET SAVVY".  THE CAR WAS HIS "DAILY DRIVER" AND BECAUSE HE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE, THIS TRUSTY FORESTER BECAME EXPENDABLE.  PRIOR TO HIS PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE IT HAD NEW HEAD GASKETS, NEW WATER PUMP, ETC INSTALLED. IN OTHER WORDS--ALL THE USUAL UPDATES THAT AN OWNER NORMALLY MAKES WHEN THE CAR HITS ABOUT 175,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WERE PERFORMED. 

THIS SUBARU IS VERY CLEAN, HAS NO RUST ISSUES, NO TEARS IN THE UPHOLSTERY, AND NO DENTS OR DEFECTS.  EVEN BETTER, I JUST HAD THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED AT THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALER-- AT A COST OF NEARLY $400.  IT  IS ROLLING ON A NEARLY NEW $600 SET OF ALL-SEASON "COOPER" TIRES.  BUT BEST OF ALL, FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN PARKED EACH AND EVERY DAY AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE ON MY FRIENDS ASPHALT DRIVEWAY  AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN EVEN A SINGLE DROP OF OIL OR ANY KIND OF FLUID UNDER THE CAR!!  

THIS SUBARU IS AN EXCELLENT VALUE, AND AS WITH ALL MY AUCTIONS I NEVER INSULT A POTENTIAL BIDDER'S INTELLIGENCE BY USING A "BUY-IT-NOW" OR SUGGESTING A MINIMUM PRICE.  ALL MY AUCTIONS START AT $.99 CENTS AND END WHEN THE WINNING BIDDER DETERMINES THE FINAL SALE PRICE.

PLEASE NOTE MY 100-PERCENT "FEEDBACK" RATING. LOOK THE PHOTOS OVER CAREFULLY AND CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.  I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND TAKE A TEST DRIVE. I AM LOCATED IN NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT, IN A SMALL "BEDROOM" COMMUNITY OF $400,000 HOMES. YOU CAN FEEL COMPLETELY SAFE EITHER INSPECTING, TEST-DRIVING OR PICKING UP THIS CAR. IN FACT, MY NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR OWNED AN IDENTICAL SUBARU THAT WENT OVER 450,000 MILES--WHICH IS HOW I GOT TURNED ON TO THE EXCEPTIONAL LONGEVITY OF THESE AMAZING VEHICLES!

2013 Subaru Legacy and Outback recalled over potential steering loss

Wed, 15 May 2013

Subaru today announced a recall that affects 5,379 Legacy sedan and Outback wagon models in the United States. All of the affected 2013 model-year vehicles were built between February 15 and June 15 of 2012.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the inner and outer shafts of the steering column assembly may become disengaged from one another" in these vehicles. If that happens, the driver can lose the ability to steer the vehicle, which could obviously lead to all sorts of harmful things.
Subaru will notify owners of the problem, and affected models will have their steering columns replaced at dealerships, free of charge. Scroll down for the official NHSTA report.

2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Thu, Nov 18 2021

The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is the Hyundai Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for an incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 The Hyundai Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year. Kia has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next production electric cars for the brand, which should look right at home next to things like the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, the 2023 Kia Sportage HEV has been revealed. The hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year. The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same as the Sorento HEV that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean Fisker has brought the new Ocean EV to the L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below. Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, due to hit U.S.

If your TV rats you out, what about your car?

Fri, Feb 24 2017

Vizio, the TV manufacturer, recently had to pay a $2.2-million fine to the FTC recently because it was discovered that its sets were collecting data about viewers' watching habits and then using the information for its own benefit. Last year, it was revealed the Samsung smart TVs were busy listening to what was being said, even if the conversations in question had absolutely nothing with switching the channel away from the Matt LeBlanc Top Gear. Nowadays, auto manufacturers seem to be tripping over each other pointing out that they offer Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto. And more recent phenomenon are announcements—from companies including Ford and Hyundai—that they are offering Amazon Alexa capabilities. You talk. It listens. In late January, General Motors said it is releasing a next-generation infotainment software development kit (NGI SDK) to software developers to write apps for GM cars. The NGI SDK includes native Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that allow access to expected things - like oil life and tire pressure and whether lightbulbs are burned out - but unexpected things, as well. Like the presence of passengers in the vehicle. When your TV set is ratting you out, isn't it likely that your car will? In making the announcement of the NGI SDK, GM pointed out that it has the largest connected fleet on the road, some 12-million vehicles. The company also noted: "From 2015 to 2016, GM has seen data usage by customers increase nearly 200 percent. Mobile app use for GM vehicles also hit an all-time high in 2016, with more than 225 million interactions." Is it not plausible that they know more those interactions than simply the number of them? GM's privacy agreement is like most privacy policies, which boils down to: You use it (the device, software, etc.), you potentially give up a portion of your privacy. While on the subject of apps, coincident with this year's CES, Subaru announced that it has added eight cloud-based apps to the STARLINK multimedia system in the 2017 Impreza. Some are familiar, like Yelp. Some are a bit narrow in focus, like eBird, which was developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for birdwatchers. And one ought to give a bit of pause: RightTrack. According to Subaru, "RightTrack Test Drive from Liberty Mutual Insurance monitors driving habits and provides customers with tips on driving safer to help lower their insurance rates and improve their safe driving skills." Or said more simply: You drive. It watches.
