2001 Subaru Outback Limited on 2040-cars

2001 SUBARU OUTBACK LIMITED WAGON You are looking at an extremely nice Outback Limited. This is probably one of the nicer 2001 models out there. Body and paint are very nice with minimal scratches, no rust, paint is very good, shines very nicely. The only body repair that has been done to my knowledge is replacement of the front bumper cover. The hood has some "crow's feet" in it, so it may have been repainted in the past. Look at the pictures closely, this car has not been used the way many Outbacks are used. The interior is nearly mint for its age. The leather is very nice, still pliable, the door panels and dash are nearly perfect, the carpet and mats are very good. Everything works as it should - sunroof, windows, gauges, stereo, alarm, horn, door locks, inside and outside lights, etc. The wheels are much nicer than you generally see on this generation of Outbacks. Generally corrosion-free, one has some starting under a wheel weight. See pictures. The entire drivetrain is from a 2004 Legacy, and that is the reason for the salvage title. This drivetrain now has 97,718 miles on it. This drivetrain transplant was done because the previous owner hit something in the roadway and punctured the oil pan. The only other damage was to the radiator support and radiator. The radiator came from the donor car and the support was repaired. The engine and transmission both perform exactly as intended. The transmission shifts properly, and the engine uses little if any oil. The tires are HydroEdge Michelins, installed at 94,300 miles. New pads and rotors were recently installed on the front. Rear brakes were good at time of inspection. Front suspension is in top shape, everything is good, boots not cracked or leaking, recently aligned. Here is what needs to be done to the car: The center differential is going bad, causing the typical problems when the wheel is turned all the way left or right, forward or reverse. It binds, it groans, it pops, but anything less than full turns there are no issues. The head gaskets need replacing. Coolant is apparently leaking into the combustion chambers. A trip of approximately 35-40 miles will empty the reservoir. I check often under the hood of my cars, so this was caught well before there was any overheating. This coolant is NOT leaking to the outside of the engine. There is a very small oil leak at the rear of the motor, easily fixed when the head gaskets are done. AC has slow coolant leak. A full charge will last about one season. Please come inspect this car in person before you bid. Please do not bid on the car first, then come look at it and decide you don't want it. This is not how it works. Email me with any questions you have. I will answer them as quickly and honestly as I can. Again, this is an exceptionally nice Outback for its age and is well worth fixing. I don't think you would find a nicer 2001. This car is very impressive in the winter. See my feedback and bid with confidence. Car is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, implied or stated. Because of the coolant leak, operate this car at your own risk. I would suggest towing it home. |

Scion FR-S Convertible (in Toyota GT86 form) spied in South Africa
Fri, 15 Feb 2013Though the eventual existence of a convertible version of the Toyota GT86 (and its Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ versions for America) is a no-brainer, we've yet to get a glimpse of the real-deal car until now.
Spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, of all places, this completely undisguised GT86 convertible seems to be in a remarkably advanced state of development. The image seen here was obviously sniped from quite a distance and without the aid of a powerful lens, but we can still make out a production-ready looking piece of rear bodywork for the convertible top to hide away in, as well as a functioning trunk lid. It's hard to make out with any certainty, based on this evidence, but there does seem to be space retained behind the front seats for two, small rear chairs.
With the first car spotted, we'd expect to seem some more and better images of it flow through in the near future, and if not, Toyota has already confirmed a concept version for next month's Geneva Motor Show, dubbed FT-86 Open, so stay tuned. For now, click through to the FT86Club.com forum to have a slightly closer look at the images.
Subaru WRX hatchback back off the table
Tue, Apr 22 2014It's fair to see we're rather fond of the new Subaru WRX. That's not to say we don't have a number of issues with the budget sports sedan, though. Foremost among those complaints is that it's short exactly one door. Yes, the sedan-only WRX is just fine, but we'd be lying if we said we weren't missing the long-roofed, five-door model of years past. More pressing than our sentimentality, though, is the business case for a WRX wagon - half of the 2013 WRX and STI models sold had five doors. As a general rule, ignoring half of your former customers isn't the best strategy for long-term success. There was some hope, as recently as a few weeks ago, though, that Subaru would right this wrong and offer a real, five-door WRX. An Australian reporter managed to corner project manager Masuo Takatsu, who said strong interest from the US meant that the Subaru mothership was considering a WRX with a hatch rather than a trunk. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case, as Subaru USA is dashing any and all hope of a second body style. According to Motor Trend, the company's US arm reached out to Japan and, despite the statements made by Takatsu, confirmed that there were no plans for a WRX wagon. Sigh...
Subaru STI display celebrates the division's high-performance history in New York
Wed, Apr 1 2015Subaru Tecnica International is really getting to celebrate itself at the 2015 New York Auto Show. Not only is the Japanese brand's performance division showing off a turbocharged take on the BRZ in the Big Apple, it also set up a small exhibit commemorating four past achievements. The oldest car of the group is a 1996 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type RA wearing full rally garb. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer four-cylinder kicks out 270 horsepower, but this specific one isn't a competitor. Instead, Subaru used the vehicle to promote the launch of the 1998 Impreza 2.5RS. STI also has one of the most coveted Subarus ever on display, a 1999 Impreza 22B STI. These limited two-door models were made to celebrate the company's World Rally Championship victories. Each one was plucked off the assembly line and fitted with a curvaceous, wider body and adjustable rear wing. Power was provided by a 2.2-liter turbocharged boxer four-cylinder with 280 horsepower. The final two members of this mini museum are a bit more modern. The 2004 WRX STI should be familiar to performance fans in the US with its 300-horsepower boosted 2.5-liter four-cylinder and six-speed manual. There's also the 2015 WRX STI that blitzed the Isle of Man last year to set a new lap record of 19 minutes and 26 seconds around the island course. With STI planning a US expansion over the coming years, this is a fantastic reminder of the division's past. Hopefully, it can keep living up to these high standards. Related Video:
