2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx Wagon, Wr Blue, Manual, 'bugeye' on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, New York, United States
|
179k miles and counting, 5-speed manual transmission, never smoked in,
no pets, meticulously maintained w/ records & just completed an
extensive 180k maintenance covering everything from valve cover gaskets
to a complete brake job. It should require no major service until 210k.
This was supposed to be my 'forever' car, so I was maintaining and
modifying very carefully. However, personal reasons force a sale. Clean
title, three keys & two remotes, all manuals in hand.
This car has been my winter trip car and poor-weather daily driver (I commute via motorcycle) for the last several years. Most miles are highway/interstate miles. It has never let me down in any situation and I am committed to performing all maintenance on or before schedule. This WRX has been modded to produce a singular end result: a reliable, practical, and fun-to-drive car for someone who can have just one car. Most mods target suspension, practicality, and longevity. Please see list below. There are some issues that affect most Subarus and some that affect only this model and year. These include head gaskets, wheel bearings, and transmissions. I've done my best to prevent these types of failures through driving choices and maintenance. Subaru 2.0L turbo motors are not as prone to head gasket failures as the N/A 2.5L, but it doesn't hurt to be safe. Used oil analyses (Blackstone) and compression tests (very strong compression) show a very healthy motor with no oil/coolant mixing and I always use Subaru Long-Life Coolant with Subaru Coolant Conditioner. I've recently replaced the passenger rear wheel bearing and the passenger front wheel bearing with hubs & ball-joints from a parted 2007 WRX with less than 10k miles. This wheel bearing should far outlast any aftermarket bearing. This 2002 WRX has the 'BA' transmission, which is stronger than the earlier 'AA' transmissions. Additionally, I never drop the clutch, shift slowly and carefully, use synthetic transmission oil, and have maintained close-to-stock power levels. All open recalls (wagon door stays, fuel lines, control arms) have been performed at Koppel Subaru in Queens, NY. Interior: 8.5/10. Some scuffs in the rear, some usual Subaru rattles, and some wear normal for a 180k mile car. Otherwise, it is very clean. Exterior: 9/10. It's hard to keep a car perfect in NYC, but condition is certainly well above average and the paint still shines. I had the trunk keyhole shaved when someone tried to break the lock cylinder. Mechanical: 9.5/10. Motor is very strong with compression tests showing less than 3% difference between cylinders. UOAs show excellent motor condition. Transmission is in excellent shape, all synchros intact w/ smooth shifts. Suspension in great shape with lots of life left, and the chassis is very solid.

However, for items I am unable to perform, I turn the car over to a Subaru specialist. Payment, Delivery Require $1000 deposit, balance upon local pickup. I am willing to help your carrier ship the car, but payment must clear first. If you have any questions, shoot me a message. |

Subaru previews Levorg concept ahead of Tokyo reveal
Wed, 30 Oct 2013When I was a kid I went with my family to a Subaru dealership. My brother, being clever as he is, pointed out that Subaru backwards spelled "you're a bus." The portly salesman was not amused, and we bought a Passat instead. Fast forward a couple of decades and we can't help but wonder if Subaru wasn't thinking the same thing when it named its new concept Levorg, which spells "grovel" backwards. The company itself says the name is a combination of the words "Legacy," "Revolution" and "Touring," but one way or another, that's what they're calling it, and here are the first preview images and details on the concept which Fuji Heavy will unveil at the Tokyo Motor Show this year.
Designed to combine the feel of a sports car with the practicality of a touring car, the Levorg looks set to preview the next step in a long line of performance-oriented Subaru wagons. It packs a 1.6-liter turbocharged boxer four and next-generation EyeSight technologies in what looks to be a svelte yet muscular form that could point the way forward for the next Legacy.
The Levorg, however, is not the only concept which Subaru will reveal in Tokyo this year. The Japanese automaker has also revealed plans to unveil the Cross Sport Design Concept (which could preview the replacement for the discontinued Tribeca), the Crossover 7 Concept (which looks like a taller version of the Legacy wagon with an apparent third row of seats), and an Evolution version of the Viziv concept presented in Geneva earlier this year. Scope them out in the gallery above and press release below.

Subaru facing class-action suit over excess oil use
Tue, 22 Jul 2014A recently filed lawsuit in federal court against Subaru of America and its parent Fuji Heavy Industries claims that several recent models burn an excessive amount of oil. The case, which is seeking class-action status, covers examples of the 2011-2014 Forester, 2013 Legacy and 2013 Outback with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and the 2012-2013 Impreza and 2013 XV Crosstrek with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
The suit alleges that Subaru knew about the excessive oil consumption but didn't fix the problem, according to USA Today. It contends that owners have to spend an unreasonable amount of money to keep these models topped up with Texas tea, and that the people represented wouldn't have bought the vehicle if they had known that this could happen.
As proof of Subaru's knowledge of excessive oil use, the lawsuit cites four technical service bulletins from the company telling dealers about the issue, although, that would seem to partially invalidate the claim that the automaker hasn't attempted to fix things. The case was filed on behalf of two men, one with a 2014 Forester and the other with a 2013 Outback. "Following an extensive investigation, we now look forward to litigating the case," said Matthew Schelkopf, an attorney for the plaintiffs, to USA Today.
