103xxx, low miles for the year. Adult Driven, Daily Driver, Very Dependable.
This will be a detailed and accurate description of the vehicle for sale.
Mostly stock, some minor modifications.
Recent work/maintenance performed in the last 5k miles :
Timing Belt service, tensioners replaced. All new spark plugs, oil changed with Mobil 1 full synthetic. Rebuilt transmission - $1900. As a lot of Subaru enthusiasts know, this year model was known to have some transmission issues when it reached higher miles, but this will not be a worry for the next owner. Shortly after i bought the car it began making slight noises that seemed to be a throwout bearing, had it looked at by a trusted local transmission shop and ended up needing to be rebuilt with new bearings. Clearly fresh gear oil added at this time as well. This vehicle shifts smoothly and precisely. A brand new Exedy OEM clutch was installed at this time, so no worries there either. Receipts available, along with contact numbers for any of the shops that performed the work.
Performance Modifications :
Tastefully modified. Bought completely stock. I knew i wanted it to be a little quicker, but I didnt want it to be loud or look conspicuous in any way. What I ended up doing was only having a catless uppipe and downpipe installed instead of a full turbo back exhaust. The uppipe was a catless sti uppipe with the stock heatshield so i didnt need to wrap it, the downpipe, however, was wrapped with titanium heatshield wrap and since it wasnt a bellmouth it fit perfectly with the stock heatshield. For looks I bolted on an sti axleback exhaust. Not loud at all. My tuner remarked it is the quietest wagon he'd ever tuned. Ok, on to the tune : with the necessary upgrades to the exhaust performed, a DeatschWerks fuel pump was installed, along with a Grimmspeed manual boost controller. Professionally Street Tuned by Jason Story (UnknownTuning@ Gmail.com). I asked him to do a smooth, moderate, reliable tune for daily driving. The car put down 225whp and 235wtq which is around 275hp and 285 ft/ lbs of torque at the crank. What I ended up with is a quiet, reliable, daily driver/sleeper.
Exterior :
Platinum Silver Metallic in color. A couple minor dents as you would expect to find on a 11-12 year old car. I have captured all the noticeable ones in the pictures, the main blemish being on the driver rear quarter. I had this quoted with a paintless dent repair service for $200. It never really bothered me so I was waiting to get it done. I will factor this into the price. New windshield wiper blades and fog light bulbs. The paint is still smooth and shines like new when clean. A previous owner must have done some light towing as there are some marks on the rear bumper that could be repaired. Overall the car looks great, with only minor issues. Wheels have no curb rash. Tires have abt 25% tread should last another 5-10k.
Interior :
The interior of this car is nearly flawless. I shopped around for months before settling on the car, it was in great mechanical shape, but what sold me, though hard to admit, was the interior. The seats are practically like new, with no holes, tears, or even deformed foam on the drivers seat. No stains or sun damage anywhere in the car, and no burns because clearly it was never smoked in. Even the headliner is flawless, showing no signs of drooping or separation from the seams. There is a small scratch on the glovebox and a slight puncture on the passenger door both from my dachsunds nails. He rides in the other Subie now you can see it in the background of one of my pics, my wifes 2001 Legacy GT Wagon. So we are Subaru lovers you see!
With all of the work and general maintenance, performed, this is sure to be a reliable, and fun car. However, I need an automatic due to relocation, so it has to go. This car is tight, and ready to go for a long time. Receipts for all work done available. Kelly Blue Book has the car listed at 8,000 in good condition. Considering maintenance performed, along with the good, the bad, and the ugly, I'm asking :
$8750.00
Thanks for looking! Cash only, No Lowballers, No Joyrides. More detailed pictures available on request

Subaru WRX STI vs. Audi S3 in compact AWD dustup
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's not every day that a Subaru and an Audi can be reasonably compared head-to-head; the two brands tend not to compete directly in their respective segments. However, the latest WRX STI and the S3 Sedan offer the perfect chance to find out if the working-class Scooby can beat its upper-crust competitor.
The UK's Auto Express gets behind the wheel of these two all-wheel drive performance sedans, or saloons as the Brits call them. Across the pond, both of them are rated at an identical 296 horsepower, but the Subaru edges out the Four Rings on torque. Like in the US, British buyers have to pay a little more to get the Audi, but it comes with a nicer interior and more brand cachet, if that means anything to you.
The video starts out with a fairly standard road test comparing the two of them back-to-back - all fairly subjective. But then Auto Express takes the trip to the drag strip, and the results there are much more conclusive. There's a definite winner when they cross the line, but you have to scroll down to see which of these turbocharged models with rallying heritage wins out.
Subaru puts China production on hold amidst slowing growth
Thu, Jan 22 2015Subaru's 2015 sales and production forecast estimates the Japanese brand to sell about 60,000 vehicles in China this year, a 10 percent rise. However, a recent decision not to build a factory there might make future growth more difficult. Given the changing state of the market, the automaker doesn't seem concerned by the potentially lost sales. According to Bloomberg, even if the Chinese government gave permission for Subaru to build its planned joint venture factory with Chery, the Japanese brand would not take advantage of it. "Since the profits are split with your partner, you would have to double the sales to maintain the profits you earn by exporting from Japan," said Akira Mabuchi, the company's executive in charge of China, according to Bloomberg. Subaru is in the odd position of being the only major Japanese automaker without a joint venture partner to build cars in China, but the massive year-over-year growth there seems to be slowing. Auto sales in China were up 6.9 percent in 2014, according to Bloomberg, compared to 14 percent in 2013. Also, Chinese consumers have been famously averse to buying Japanese vehicles with only half of the consumers there even willing to purchase one. Instead, the company is focusing on the US market, according to Bloomberg. The decision makes sense. While Subie's sales in China shrunk 2 percent in 2014 to about 55,000 vehicles, the company grew 21 percent in the US to 514,000 units. The automaker already has plans to add capacity to its factory in Indiana. News Source: BloombergImage Credit: Jae C. Hong / AP Photo Plants/Manufacturing Subaru
