2007 Subaru Sti Limited on 2040-cars

Waldorf, Maryland, United States

I bought this car brand new for basic transportation.  I talked my wife into taking a look at the STi, but she didn't care for the racer appearance.  The salesman said "We do have a Limited edition in the back, if you want to take a look."  I had heard of the Limited, but they were so scarce that I never thought I'd get a shot at one.  Obviously the wife and I both loved it, and we bought it on the spot.  The salesman almost got into a fight with another one there at the dealership because the other guy claimed to have a customer coming the next day to buy it.  My salesman said "Look, these people are here now, they're paying full sticker, it's my sale."  And that was how we snagged this baby.

It has been the best car in terms of day to day practicality plus performance, but I need to pull some kayaks and it no longer fits out needs.  It has never been raced or wrecked, everything is all original, even the cold air intake is an SPT item.  The interior is cherry when you consider the mileage and no computer reprogramming has been done.  No suspension mods either, and the muffler is original as well.  I had the center differential replaced and the trans disassembled and fluid changed in 2010 at 79K miles, under warranty.  Brake fluid was changed in 2011.  Slotted rotors got added in 2012 along with FEAL Suspension STi front and rear struts.  March of this year I replaced two of the tires because of a single flat.  There is good tread on the two older tires, and all are Rotella F106 225/45R17 94W XL tires.  There's an extra if you want it, and I have the original factory air intake and wipers for you resto nuts.  I replaced the air splitter (it's about parking lot barrier height unfortunately) and repainted the rear spoiler as it was fading, just this month.  I've always used synthetic oil, by the way.

Personally I hate auctions with a reserve so high that it becomes a joke, so I will give you the punch line early: it's a dollar!  My reserve/price is fair market value based on the NADA guides for this specific car and my knowledge of its rarity.  Only 800 units of the STi Limited were made in 2007.  Go figure how many are still on the road.  If you want a Limited that's been maintained impeccably by an adult and has never seen abuse, then this is the car for you.  I have to warn you though, serious inquiry's only.  It is for sale locally, so first to pay in full will get it even if it is prior to the auctions end date. As far as pick up or shipping, that's your responsibility.  I will make every effort to be there if you send a shipper, but local pickup is preferred.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.

Subaru recalling almost 634,000* CUVs, sedans for possible puddle light short

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a massive recall campaign today for some of the more popular Subaru models due to defective puddle lights that could short out and possibly lead to smoke and/or fire.
(*)While the recall notice lists a total of 633,842 Forester, Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models from various model years, Automotive News is reporting that there are only 53,999 units actually equipped with the defective lights, but Subaru is having to make the massive recall since it is unable identify which vehicles have the lights.
The problem with the 2009 through 2012 Forester, 2006 through 2012 Tribeca and the 2010 through 2011 Legacy and Outback is that the puddle lights mounted under the door mirrors can collect water or moisture, which can lead to the short. To fix the problem, Subaru is adding an extra fuse to the wiring harness as a part of the recall that will go into effect next month. For Forester owners, this is the second major recall in less than a year following the 275,000 units that were afflicted with faulty rear seatbelts.
