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

Scion FR-S Convertible (in Toyota GT86 form) spied in South Africa

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

Though 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.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion

Fri, May 27 2016

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

Forza Horizon G-Shock Car Pack brings Nissan IDx, Subaru Brat [w/video]

Tue, Jan 6 2015

With winter's icy grip around much of the nation, now may be the perfect time to sit inside at night and enjoy some video games. The latest six-car G-Shock pack for Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox One is now here, and it gives players a very eclectic group of vehicles to race around the game's open world. This month's group of vehicles spans the decades ranging from 2015 back to 1953. The newest and only concept of the group is the 2015 Nissan IDX Nismo. Since the production chances for this retro coupe look increasingly slim, this game might be your only chance to get behind the concept's wheel. However, if you prefer driving something a bit more classic and Italian, the 1953 Ferrari 500 Mondial is available. To add one more flavor of performance, there is the 2010 Mazda Mazdasped 3 hot hatch, which is also this month's free car for download. In addition to three takes on the sports car, Turn 10 is also offering a trio of off-roaders. The quirkiest among them is the 1980 Subaru Brat GL, which features two jump seats in the back to avoid the dreaded chicken tax. If you prefer something more boxy and American, then the 1975 Ford Bronco is sure to please. Finally, for some real power to get through the mud, there's the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as tuned by Shelby with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 575 horsepower. As usual, the whole pack costs players $5 to download, or it's free as part of the season pass. Scroll down for a brief video showing all of these virtual rides off and read the press release about them from Turn 10 Studios. This content is hosted by a third party.

Are you ready to hit the roads of "Forza Horizon 2" for Xbox One in some new rides? You better be because the G-Shock Car Pack is lighting up the new year with some amazing vehicles. Leading off the pack is a "Forza" First: the 2015 Nissan IDx NISMO is making its videogame debut in "Forza Horizon 2." The IDx prototype harkens back to Nissan's storied automotive history, with its compact size and aggressive appearance, and looks to the future with some serious under-the-hood performance. Take a spin in this gem, and you will be startled by its performance and charmed by its presence. The remaining cars of the pack also have "Horizon Festival" written all over them.
