2008 Subaru Impreza Wrx Wagon 4-door 2.5l Hatchback on 2040-cars
Terre Haute, Indiana, United States
Up for sale is my 2008 WRX hatchback. 87,300 miles and counting. Stage 1 Torqued Performance tune since I
bought it when it had 30k miles on it. The car is primarily my daily driver and
has never been autocrossed, rallied, road raced, pulled, shifted hard, or even
redlined. Other than when I got the car
tuned on a Torqued Performance tune, it has been babied. I use to drive to work, visit my girlfriend,
and cart my bicycles around, and that’s about it. That being said, the car does have an
extensive list of modifications, all of which were done by me personally and a
very good friend and trusted mechanic, so everything has been done
correctly. Most of the mods, however,
are NOT power mods. The only and very
few engine-related mods were done while servicing something else that made whatever
part easy to replace, and the tune has been adjusted for the engine-related
mods. Most of the work went into
bettering the interior, chassis, suspension, and making the car nicer rather
than faster. Car has $7,800 worth of
aftermarket parts. THE BAD.
Hillstart-assist and traction control don’t work. The lights came on two years ago and the car
works perfectly other than those lights being on. ABS still works, but no traction control and
hillstart-assist. To fix this might be
as simple as plugging in a wire or something, but I just didn’t want to mess
with it as it doesn’t affect the function and performance of a car. Airbag light recently came on for a bad
driver’s airbag, which I had replaced with a new one. That code went away, but the airbag light is
still on. I did an STI center console swap and STI front seat swap. Wheels and tires came off a 0 mile 2012 WRX and
have 1.5 summers of easy, oldman driving on them. Torqued Performance tune/Cobb Accessport
comes with the car. Tune is solid and
has been adjusted for the composite TGV deletes so that there are no CELs. Acceleration is buttery smooth. Nothing like the Cobb OTS maps or the OEM
map. Rotella T6 full synthetic oil
changed every 3k miles on the dot by me personally. Only Subaru OEM oil filters used. Full sound deadening on both inside and
outside door skins on all four doors and the hatch lid and floor. HID low beams from The Retrofit Source, 4300K
pure white. None of the weird blue color
you see with other HIDs. LED interior
lights, license plate bulbs, and LED switchback turn signals. Full list of mods is included. The car will be sold as it sits. No parts will be taken off to decrease the
value. I am getting out of the Subaru
game entirely, so I don’t want to mess with parting it out. I am selling the car simply because it’s time
to move on. Nothing more, nothing less. Never smoked in and never had any animals in it. Pricing: $15,000.
Cash or cashier’s check. If using
cashier’s check, then the car and title will not be handed over until my bank
has cleared the funds. NO payment plans. NO
trades. NO lowballs. Reasonable offers will be considered. The car accelerates, runs, stops, and corners
perfectly and without defect. Test
drives for serious buyers only. NO test
drives without me present in the car. NO
hard accelerating, braking, shifting, etc, during a test drive. If you test drive the car, know that it is
still my car and will be driven lightly.
NO joyrides. NO joyrides. NO joyrides.
Buyer will be required to sign a bill of sale at the time of purchase. No minors without their parents/decision
makers present. Be confident and
knowledgeable of how to drive a 5-speed.
You will not be learning in my car.
And again, reasonable offers will be considered.

Toyota 86 most likely to get more power through more displacement? [w/poll]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013The Sydney Morning Herald has spoken to Tetsuya Tada, chief engineer of the Toyota 86 (our version of it, the Scion FR-S, is pictured above), and they've been promised that more power is on the way. We've heard a lot of speculation about a more powerful Toyobaru since before the standard model was even launched. The only question now is how the power will be delivered, and among the engine concepts we've already heard about - turbo, supercharger, twin-charged, hybrid - is a new one: more displacement.
Tada said that an engine with more displacement than the current coupe's 2.0 liters is being tested alongside a turbocharged and a hybrid-assisted motor. The SMH cites "inside sources" as saying the displacement option is the one likely to get the go-ahead, and suggests increased bore and stroke will see the engine grow to 2.5 liters, horsepower to about 250 - a 50-hp increase over the present car.
While that's apparently the betting man's solution for the long-awaited increase in gumption, what happens with the next generation could be more wide open than we suspected. According to the report, Tada "hinted that [a successor] could be a radically different car, potentially dropping the boxer engine altogether." He said once they've sorted out the concept for the second generation car, then they'll sort out an engine. That's where a turbo option could come to market, perhaps the turbocharged four-cylinder Toyota is developing for the Lexus NX crossover or a hybrid system that uses a capacitor.
These are your top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012
Mon, Jan 7 2013Despite 2012 being the best year of auto sales this country has seen since 2007, not every vehicle got an equally large share of the sales pie. Some barely got a sliver, as evidenced by this year's list of the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. We've dug through sales data from every automaker to come up with this year's list and, like last year, we've set some parameters to ensure it includes legitimately bad-selling vehicles. The first parameter is a starting MSRP under $100,000, which automatically excludes what's parked in most one-percenters' garages. We're also excluding vehicles cancelled in 2012, even if they garnered sales through the end of the year while dealerships sold off remaining inventory. This includes models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and last year's worst-seller, the Acura RL. Next, vehicles are considered as they are reported by the automaker, which means that, while sales of the Murano CrossCabriolet were probably low enough to make the list, because Nissan reports only one number for all Murano sales, it was excluded. Cadillac, however, reports sales of the Escalade EXT separately from the Escalade, hence its repeat appearance. Finally, there was the question of whether or not eligibility should be given to Suzuki vehicles, as the brand announced in November that it would end sales in the US as soon as its current inventory ran out. We decided Suzuki vehicles should be included as the brand was offering 2013 models at the time of the announcement, and as far as we can tell, inventory levels remained high enough to satisfy demand through the end of the year. Without further ado, below are the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles of 2012 10. Volvo C30 MSRP: $25,500 Units Sold: 2,827 Last Year: – 9. BMW Z4 MSRP: $47,350 Units Sold: 2,751 Last Year: – 8. Audi TT MSRP: $39,545 Units Sold: 2,226 Last Year: – 7. Subaru Tribeca MSRP: $32,595 Units Sold: 2,075 Last Year: 10 6.

Subaru WRX S4 gets big power bump in Japan
Mon, 25 Aug 2014A month after originally teasing it, Subaru is finally unveiling its WRX S4 model for Japan. It's a bit more than just a plush take on the sport sedan, because Subaru is fitting a more powerful version of the 2.0-liter, turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine than we get on these shores.
The company says that S4 stands for "'Sports performance', 'Safety performance', 'Smart driving' and 'Sophisticated feel," and it certainly looks like this Rex ticks all of those boxes. The most surprising feature is the Japanese model's 2.0-liter turbo engine boasting 296 horsepower (221 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque in this application. That's quite a healthy upgrade over the 268 hp and 258 lb-ft that Americans get in the standard WRX, and it's even nipping at the heels of the 305 hp and 290 lb-ft from the STI with a 2.5-liter mill that we get over here.
While extra power is always welcome, enthusiasts might not be so thrilled that Subaru's Sport Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission is the sedan's only available gearbox. However, it offers a simulated eight-speed shifting mode when drivers notch the car into Sport# driving mode. Of course, the S4 also packs Subie's trademark all-wheel drive with Vehicle Dynamics Control and Active Torque Vectoring as standard.
