for sale is my 2005 atlantic blue pearl Subaru Legacy GT Limited all wheel drive 5 speed manual 2.5L turbo with 167k miles on it. It's currently being used as a daily commuter but it could use some work. It has been a great commuter car for me for the past 40 thousand miles that I have had it. This car is great in the snow. It has a clear title with no red flags on the carfax history(I looked at the carfax when I bought the car). I have decided to get a car with an automatic. The clutch was replaced by the previous owner right before I bought the car. The clutch that the previous owner put in was a performance clutch and is fairly stiff. It is to stiff for my liking but it didn't bother me to much because I was commuting on the highway a lot and didn't use the clutch much. The previous owner claimed to have replaced the turbo at 100k miles with a more reliable 16g cartrige but didn't have a receipt and I have no way to tell if it was actually done by looking at it. The exterior of the car, body and paint is in really good shape. The interior is in great shape too.

Maintenance and new parts: I had 4 new tires installed last fall, 9/2013, and they still look fairly new. 4 new break rotors with new pads installed 9/2012 @ 143k miles, along with break fluid change. Timing belt & water pump service 6/2012 @ 136.9k miles along with an accessory belt replacement and all new coolant. The A/C compressor was replaced in may 2012. Only full synthetic oil used along with high quality oil filters used.

Imperfections: There is one good scratch on the front left bumper. The windshield has a really long crack in it. It has the power heated seat option but the heat on the drivers seat doesn't work and i'm not sure the passenger side does. The plastic power seat adjustment control for the passenger side was broke off, the seat can still be adjusted. It runs very rough when it is cold and will stall when engine is cold especially when it is cold outside. When it warms up it run good and strong. It doesn't have any check engine lights on and it passed emissions when I renewed my registration last year. There is a rattling sound like something is loose when you are coasting, let your foot off the gas. The right rear power window doesn't work. I have a replacement window motor for it, I never use the rear windows so I haven't bothered to pay to have it put in. None of these items stop the car form being used and I have been using it as a daily commuter car for a while. 

I routinely put several hundred miles a week on this car and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

It has the following features/options/parts:
- Power sunroof
- Power windows
- Power door locks with keyless entry
- Power heated side mirrors
- Heated wiper option
- Compass
- Outside temperature, miles per gallon, clock & trip time indicator
- In dash 6cd changer, am/fm radio, & i-pod connector aux (non oem that plays through the cd option) 
- Power heated seats(non working)
- Leather interior
- Cruse control
- Antilock breaks
- HID
- Clear bra
- Spare tire, jack & tow hook
- Subaru rubber floor mats

This car has been very reliable and I'll be happy to deliver the car within 150 miles of northern colorado, may be willing to go further. Otherwise pickup is the responsibility of the winning bidder.  

All sales are final

Full payment required withing 3 days of auction closing unless otherwise arranged.

2015 Subaru Outback

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

"We like producing cars that are different." That's the company line trumpeted by several Subaru executives during the launch of the 2015 Outback - one of Fuji Heavy's most successful vehicles to date. Managing Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski accurately noted that while Subaru has never really found salvation with its mainstream sedans, it's the higher-riding, butcher offerings like the Outback and the Impreza-based XV Crosstrek that have been sales stars for the Japanese company. In 2013, for example, Subaru sold nearly three Outbacks for every Legacy it moved. And in 2014, the XV is on pace to outsell the Impreza upon which its based.
But Subarus have always been different, catering to unique customers that desire something a bit more special than your run-of-the-mill sedan or crossover. It's clearly worked, with Subaru having posted 30 months of year-over-year sales increases as of this writing. And even as the automaker's portfolio goes more mainstream, smoothing out its serially awkward styling and gunning for a larger market share here in the United States, that intrinsic Subaru differentiation is still baked in to each and every product.
It's that new Outback we're here to talk about today, a vehicle that's been comprehensively redesigned for the 2015 model year while not shaking up the formula that's made it successful since its inception in the mid-1990s, back when it (arguably) launched what we now know as the crossover utility vehicle segment. It's still plenty different - and plenty good, too.

Vehicles awarded IIHS Top Safety Pick awards skyrockets for 2015 [w/video]

Wed, Dec 24 2014

By practically every measure, passenger vehicles in the US are continuing to get safer. With the year rapidly coming to an end, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is releasing its annual list tallying of the scores for the latest vehicles to see how they compare to last year. Judging by the agency's evaluations, the numbers look quite positive. According to the institute, 71 vehicles earned either the Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ rating so far in its testing for 2015. Among the latest winners, there have been 33 TSP+ awards and 38 TSP medalists. That's a healthy increase over the 22 TSP+ and 17 TSP grades in 2014. The figures appear even more impressive when you consider that it keeps getting harder to earn the + designation. In the latest round of testing, a vehicle must offer some form of front crash prevention automatic braking to get the mark. Previously, just a warning to drivers was necessary. This list also illustrates the ways that automakers adapt to new testing procedures. In 2013 there were 117 TSP ratings and 13 TSP+ awards. Then, the IIHS mandated that to be a safety pick, a model had to score Good in the institute's four crash tests, plus a Good or Acceptable in the small overlap front test. That brought a plunge in 2014 to just 17 TSP grades. With the numbers climbing again, companies apparently have deciphered how to perform better. Some brands especially stood out on this year's list. The IIHS praised Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Acura for offering standard front crash prevention systems on some models. Subaru received at least one of the awards for all seven of its models. Toyota also had seven, and the Honda brand did too – though the institute counts the two- and four-door versions of the Civic and Accord separately. Check out the full announcement below and a video about this year's winners. The full list can be viewed, here. Safety gains ground: More vehicles earn top honors from IIHS The number of vehicles earning either of the Institute's two awards has jumped to 71 from 39 this time last year, giving consumers more choices for optimum protection in crashes. The number of winners in the top tier - TOP SAFETY PICK+ - has increased by 11 for 2015, despite a tougher standard for front crash prevention. "This is the third year in a row that we are giving automakers a tougher challenge to meet," says IIHS President Adrian Lund.

Is the Subaru BRZ STI being teased really only a tS version?

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Teaser images of a purported Subaru BRZ STI were uncovered last night and sent the internet into a collective state of hysterics. That's not hugely surprising, though, considering the reverence that the BRZ, along with its fraternal twins, the Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86, have garnered from the automotive media. The sole sticking point, really, has been its mere 200 horsepower. People have been chomping at the bit over a higher output version of the sublime rear driver.
Those same people may be in for a disappointment, though. See, the BRZ STI that was teased last night might not be a real STI. Instead, it's looking like it might be a BRZ tS. According to 7Tune.com, the timing of the photos posted on Subaru's website lined up with Subaru's 86 Festival at Fuji Speedway, where the Subaru BRZ tS debuted. Despite wearing STI badges, the tS isn't the full-tilt STI model we've been hoping for. Instead, you can think of the relationship between tS models and STI models as sort of like the difference between a BMW 3 Series M Sport and a BMW M3.
Certainly, the speccing of the tS supports that idea. The engine of the BRZ remains untouched in both tS models, which is one of the primary things we expect a full-bore STI to address. A number of interior and exterior styling items have been added, along with Bilstein suspension pieces and six-pot Brembo brakes. The tS sports two different trim levels, with the higher end using Recaro seats, black alloy wheels, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. The base tS features silver wheels, standard seats, and all the same suspension and brake upgrades. Adding fuel to the fire that these are not the true STI models is the limited production run - Subaru will only build 750 tS cars.
