Original Retail cost was $25,997.00 before taxes. I am the second owner. I notice Auto Check says 3 owners I can only assume the dealer was considered an owner (?).  I have all the paperwork from the original owner and I purchased it from him..so he said..all the paperwork is from him or his wife.   

I wouldn't be selling this car but I can't tow it without a trailer and I need a 4 wheels on the ground vehicle I can tow behind my motorhome  .

I have most of the important repair records.  A friend did the regular maintenance and I didn't keep those records.  Besides the trans being replaced in 2008 the engine was overhauled (including resurfacing the heads) in 2010. 

The battery is a few years old, I replaced the EGR equipment and the fuel pump within the last 6 months ago and recently had the right and left front inner tie rod ends replaced.  

The tires are also about 6 months old from "Big O Tires".  They have a 100,000 mile limited warranty.  I called the manager of "Big O Tires", he said even though it's not in the contract for second owners as long as the original phone number is used for check up's they should honor the warranty because they want to keep their customers. The records are kept in the system so it's country wide where ever there's a "Big O Tires" store.  I'm assuming that includes the free tire rotation, balancing and the rest of the years wheel alignment warranty. I'm only repeating what I told told on this..I'm sorry I can't guarantee it.  Wish I'd known I was going to sell this baby I would have done it differently.

I can't seem to get the inside rear view mirror to stay positioned.  I was told you need a special tool to tighten the screws and I've never taken it to a Subaru dealership to be checked.  I don't know for sure if it needs to be tightened or replaced.  I was planning on gluing it in place for me  but now whoever buys it will make that decision.

Also, the cup holder is cracked and it takes some positioning to get it to come out just want you to know.

Everything works including the heated seats. REALLY NICE in the winter time even here in California.

There is some wear on the leather seats but not really when you think about the use they've seen. You can see the leather on the dash and doors are in excellent condition for the age. The cars really been taken care of by me and the original owner.  

The rear compartment has a removable rear dog gate (dogs have been in the car) and a plastic compartment mat the keeps moisture from the carpet.  It's pretty worn but still does the job of protecting the carpet.

I haven't seen this on any other Subaru Wagon the rear hatch has stainless lift handle.  It gives you a better grip to open the liftgate.  Oh, the rear liftgate struts work fine except in very cold weather.  They tend to slide back down when it's real cold other then that they are fine. 

Well, I've tried to give you all the information I have on this vehicle.  I have the original paperwork given to me by the original owner including the manuals (although the brochure is for a 1999-I don't know why). 

Please email if you have any questions.  This is an as is sale. It's running and everything is in good condition to the best of my knowledge.  Thanks for looking Sharon

2015 Subaru WRX looks to set a new benchmark in LA

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Subaru has just taken the wraps off of the new, 2015 WRX at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The totally redesigned sedan - the five-door option won't be offered - is more powerful, more fuel efficient (with the right transmission), better looking and more intelligently designed than the car it's replacing.
A new 2.0-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged flat-four sits thumping away under the hood, its top-mount intercooler getting force-fed air by a rather prominent hood scoop. Power output sits at 268 ponies and 258 pound-feet of torque, accessible between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm. While the new car only has a three-horsepower advantage on the current Impreza WRX, it delivers 14 more pound-feet of torque and delivers peak output across a much wider swath of the rev range (the old car netted 244 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm). All this extra grunt comes at a negligible weight penalty - a 2015 WRX with the six-speed manual is just 59 pounds heavier than a 2014 model.
As we said, a six-speed manual is will be available, and as a bonus, it packs one additional cog over the current, 2014 WRX's five-speed DIY transmission. So equipped, the WRX will scamper to 60 in just 5.4 seconds. As for the previously-confirmed continuously variable transmission, it will come with both six- and eight-speed manual shift modes, but will take half a second longer to get to the magical 60-mile-per-hour mark.

Subaru EyeSight: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Peering out of the top of the windshield of a growing number of Subaru models, looking like a pair of cyborg eyes on either side of the car's rearview mirror, are twin cameras that make up the visible portion of Subaru's high-tech EyeSight system. For 2015, the stereoscopic camera-based system is available on the Forester, Legacy, Impreza and Outback.
These cameras allow Subaru to equip its vehicles with such safety and convenience features as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and pre-collision braking that can slow the car automatically if an imminent accident is detected, even bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.
Subaru has offered EyeSight technology on its vehicles in the United States since the 2013 model year. Newly upgraded for 2015, EyeSight's smaller cameras now see in color and are capable of scanning further ahead and over a wider swath, which means an EyeSight-equipped car will now be able to respond more quickly. That means a higher chance of accident avoidance for 2015, something everyone on the road will surely appreciate.

Subaru skips the Super Bowl, brings back the driving dogs

Sun, Jan 31 2016

Subaru's research shows that 80 percent of owners have a pet. So the company plans to skip expensive advertising during the Super Bowl again this year in favor of being the official auto sponsor of the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. The canine-friendly company also has five new ads starring the Barkleys, a family of Labradors and Golden Retrievers. The commercial above titled Phone Navigation is our favorite of the group because it puts a funny spin on bad smartphone voice recognition. You can check out the other four adorable ads below. Doggie Bag has the pups dealing with an inept valet; Windshield Wiper forces them to cope with a bulldog in a car ahead; Bad Hair Day tactfully handles a rough trip to the doggy salon; and Puppy tries to help a little one get to sleep. With new spots like this practically every year, Subaru clearly has a paw on the pulse of what its customers like. This content is hosted by a third party.
