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

Climb to the Clouds returning thanks to Subaru title sponsorship [w/video]
Wed, 31 Jul 2013The Mt. Washington Hillclimb, otherwise known as the Climb to the Clouds, hasn't been done since 2011. That year, Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins set a new record for the event first held in 1904, running the 7.6-mile vertiginous course in 6:11.54. The race will be return in 2014 with the help of that very carmaker, Subaru of America having stepped in to the title sponsor role for what will be the Subaru Mt. Washington Hillclimb.
Taking place from June 26-29, 75 modern and vintage cars will spend three days racing up the 6,288-foot-high mountain. It's not as long nor as high as Pikes Peak, but it does have something that the Colorado competition doesn't: gravel; about 13 percent of the Mt. Washington Carriage Road still hasn't been paved.
If you want to know what a record-breaking run up the northeast's highest peak looks like, check out Higgins behind the wheel in the video below.
2016 Subaru BRZ Series.HyperBlue Quick Spin
Wed, Dec 2 2015On its own, there's not much to "review" about the Subaru BRZ's new Series.HyperBlue trim. Limited to just 500 units, the coupe wears a new shade of blue, its 17-inch wheels and exterior badges are painted black, and inside, the HyperBlue color carries over to the accent stitching and logos on the seats. I love – no, love – this color. If you're a fan of the BRZ, like cool blues, and are thinking of picking up a 2016 model year example, this is the one to get. Plus, this car doesn't have all that bolted-on visual stuff from last year's Series.Blue. HyperBlue aside, it's the same BRZ it's always been. Yes, Subaru's updated Starlink infotainment system is now available, and there's a frameless rearview mirror inside the cabin. That's about it in terms of 2016 model year updates. But it's still worth revisiting. I've driven the BRZ at home in Detroit, and it's lovely. It's got a great chassis, it uses rear-wheel drive, and it's powerful enough to have lots of fun at legal speeds. (Seriously, why does everyone keep complaining about "only" 200 horsepower? That's plenty for this lightweight.) But until now, I've never had the chance to experience this coupe on a truly great road. So during a recent trip to southern California, I took a jaunt out to Angeles Crest Highway for a day of HyperBlue antics. On the right road, this car is even more charming than I remember. Driving Notes I think the reason why some people complain about a supposed lack of power is because they aren't driving it correctly. Peak horsepower arrives at 7,000 rpm, and the full 151 pound-feet of torque is delivered at 6,400 rpm. So for spirited driving, don't even bother revving below 3,500 rpm. No, it's not the best sounding engine (what naturally aspirated flat-four is?), but don't let the noise fool you. Keep the 2.0-liter boxer on boil, and you'll find salvation in this 200-hp mill. To me, the BRZ's steering feel is second only to the Mazda Miata. The car's lightness is accurately communicated through the wheel, but it's direct, nicely weighted, and never void of feedback. Combined with a firm, balanced chassis, you get a great sense of what all four wheels are doing at any given time. Grip level and weight distribution is easy to sense while cornering, making it easier to push the car harder and harder. The tail steps out a smidge, and you know exactly how much corrective input to give. I love a car that works so seamlessly with the driver.
Subaru ups US sales projections to 500k units
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Subaru is going absolutely gangbusters so far in 2014, with growing year-over-year sales every month this year adding to the streak of 33 consecutive months. The prognosis is so positive that the Japanese brand is revising its 2014 forecast to 500,000 vehicles or more, from a previous estimated 460,000. If it reaches the goal, it would be the first time that the automaker hit the half-million mark here.
Subaru has been growing steadily in the US for a while now. Annual sales have increased for the past five consecutive years with 2014 not indicating for that to change. For August alone, the company moved 50,246 vehicles, up 22.37 percent year-over-year, and the business proclaimed it as the best month in its history.
According to Subaru, it believes that the growth for the last two years has been fueled by the latest Forester and XV Crosstrek last year and the new Legacy and Outback this year. "The market is telling us that we are delivering products that consumers want at the right prices," said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer at Subaru of America.
