Up for sale is my 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS 2-door coupe. I am the second owner. In the last year, I have had the brakes, clutch, timing belt, water pump, right front axle, spark plugs, and all gaskets replaced. I also had Michelin tires put on the car in the summer of 2011, and after roughly 15,000 miles, they have plenty of tread left. There is a minor rattle and steering wheel shake from about 60-75 mph that a tire tech attributed to fix-a-flat that I had needed to use on two of the tires after I ran over some nails--but he told me that unless I found it to be very bothersome (which I have not), there was no need to replace them, and I've driven several thousand miles with no problems since then. As you will see, I have got New York plates (and clean New York title in hand), but live in Denver, where I moved in August for grad school. 


The interior is very clean, with the rare custom leather that you will only find on a handful of RSes. (I do have the 2.5 RS floor mats, as well as all-weather mats, which will be included, but did not make it into the pictures because I was having them cleaned at the time). The exterior is also in nice shape, as you will see from the attached pictures. There are scratches on the left rear bumper, and front bumper, as documented in the pictures. Other than that, there are simply a few minor scratches and dings that would only be spotted if one was looking closely for them, and the original paint has held up very well. 

The engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and brakes all work flawlessly. Except for the performance shocks that the previous owner had put on the car, this RS is entirely stock, and I can say with confidence that you will be hard pressed to find another one of these increasingly rare cars in such nice shape. On that note, I recently learned that only 1,500 manual RSes were produced in 1999 (for more info, see cars101.com), and when you consider how many have been destroyed or modified, cars such as this one are rapidly becoming even harder to find. This is reflected in their actual sales prices, which for nice examples, have been considerably higher than KBB listings--and from what I understand, the value of these cars has actually been going up in the last couple years. 

This car is a lot of fun to drive, is reliable, and gets very solid gas mileage (usually 27+ mpg per tank)--and with the work that I've recently had performed on it, am confident that it will be good to go for quite awhile. I am sure that both the Subaru enthusiast and someone looking for a fun, safe, reliable car, will be equally happy with its purchase. I am simply selling because I found a deal on a newer car that was too hard to pass up. If you need help with shipping, and you are far outside of the Colorado area, I will be glad to work with whatever company you hire, or to pick you up from Denver International Airport if you want to fly in and drive it home yourself.

Please do note that I will also have the car for sale locally, so reserve the right to end the listing should I find a buyer here. Thanks very much for looking, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Subaru Viziv Evolution Concept looks strangely familiar

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The Tokyo Motor Show has proven to be far deeper and more interesting in 2013 than it has been in recent years, surely a trailing indicator of the revived auto industry in Japan and throughout the world. Still, we have seen a few concept cars that have been nearly 'recycled' from shows earlier in the season.
This Subaru Viziv Evolution concept is a case in point - it looks not unlike the Viziv Concept that the company hauled over to the Geneva Motor Show in March of this year. What gives?
Well, the original Viziv wrapped its sexy crossover-coupe bodywork around a powertrain composed of a 2.0-liter diesel engine and three electric motors, two of which powered the two rear wheels (another trendy hybrid setup). This new "Evolution" of the Viziv is not dissimilar from its progenitor, swapping in a small displacement gasoline-powered engine for the diesel unit. All of this is based on reports out of Tokyo, mind you, as official information on the car is scarce at the moment.

Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.

Subaru confirms new Outback to debut in New York

Thu, Apr 3 2014

Performance enthusiasts may think of the WRX and BRZ when the name Subaru comes to mind, but for many others, the brand is best associated with the Outback. The soft-road version of the Legacy (and the Impreza-based Outback Sport that preceded the XV Crosstrek) is a vital product for the Japanese automaker, which has now confirmed it's bringing the latest version to the New York Auto Show in just a couple of weeks from now. There's little to go on from the teaser image above (which you can click to enlarge) and the press release below, which says only that "The all-new Outback is Subaru's flagship crossover model which blends Car-like handling and SUV capability." And that much we knew already. It's safe to assume that, like previous versions of the Outback, the new model (which we recently spied undergoing testing) will be based closely on the latest Legacy, albeit upgraded with a higher ride height, lower body cladding and other off-roading enhancements. Watch this space for more. All-New Subaru "Outback" to Make World Debut at 2014 New York International Auto Show Tokyo, April 3, 2014 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, today announced that the all-new "Outback" (US specifications model) will make its world debut at the 2014 New York International Auto Show (Press day: April 16 and 17; Open to the public from April 18 through 27, 2014). The Outback will be unveiled at the press briefing scheduled for 10:55 AM EST on April 17 at Subaru booth following a speech to be made by FHI President & CEO, Yasuyuki Yoshinaga. The all-new Outback is Subaru's flagship crossover model which blends Car-like handling and SUV capability. The special site opens today at 22:00 (Japan time) on the Subaru Global Site. http://www.subaru-global.com/2014ny.html The site will feature information updates relating to the New York International Auto Show including Subaru's press conference.
