This has been a great family car, and hockey transport vehicle.  About 25,000 miles per year, the Pacifica Blue Pearl is a beautiful paint color on the exterior, with a fine buff will shine like new!  There are certainly a few chips due to the age, and mileage.  AWD is amazing in the Winter no matter how much snow, no problem.  

This is a solid car, but with 235,000 miles it has a bit of season as well.  We have had the car serviced by our personal mechanic the entire time we've owned the Sub. 

Some of the new add ons:

  • New Radiator
  • Brakes, pads, rotors
  • Aluminum Rims, tires
  • Synthetic Oil changed every 4-5000 miles Jiffy Lube

Some of the things to be aware of:

  • The a/c and heat has 2 controls that just spin, there are control cables we just never ordered to do the maybe 1 hour fix.  We have the diagram. @ $50 for the cables.  We rarely use A/C, typically we drive with windows open so not sure if a/c does or doesn't go, heat cranks.
  • Slight hesitation sometimes when flooring it, but it's been that way for 50,000 miles for us.
  • Oil rarely leaks we burn, go through maybe 1 quart of oil per oil change, but with age normal
  • Antifreeze we periodically do add this to the Sub, we've been told we can change some gaskets, or just keep an eye on the level, and add when needed.  We opted to simply add fluid!
  • Classic One of a Kind Hockey Stick Grill, if you're not a hockey fan, great, we get more compliments on this than you can believe.  If you're not a hockey person, great, a new grill is about $80.  One night we guess the original grill just flew off, or someone took it, and we've replaced with the sticks.

We're offering NO RESERVE AUCTION, $500 deposit upon completion of bidding, and we can ship to any location for a nominal fee.  If for any reason you are unsure, simply don't bid, as the car is being sold as is.  If you'd like to drive before bidding absolutely great, just let us know we're in the Northeast Suburbs of Chicago.

 

Thanks for viewing.  The Baron of Marketing.....

Toyota and Subaru file patents for performance FR-S and BRZ

Wed, Nov 11 2015

People have longed for a more powerful version of the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86 since the triplets arrived on the market. So far, neither partner in the deal has launched a model to fully satiate that hunger. However, the Japanese patent office recently approved documents from Toyota for the design of a vehicle that looks just like the Subaru STI Performance Concept (pictured above). According to AutoGuide, the filing also gives Fuji Heavy Industries credit for the design. The STI Performance Concept debuted at this year's New York Auto Show as an early step in STI's attempt to expand its reach here. The BRZ-derived coupe featured a body with a ground-scraping front bumper, tweaked headlights, wider fenders, a massive rear wing, and diffuser with a center-exit exhaust. All of these elements also show up on the patent renderings. The concept was just as exciting under the hood because STI installed a 2.0-liter, turbocharged boxer four-cylinder from its GT300 racer, and upgrades for the chassis, suspension, and brakes came from the Japanese market's BRZ tS. While the coupe made hearts race, the company was clear it didn't necessarily plan to build the model. Patent filings aren't a guarantee for production, and even if this one does arrive in showrooms, it might not come to the US. That's because Subaru and Toyota have a history of creating Japan-exclusive versions like the tS or Style Cb. That being said, spy shots have revealed a camouflaged GT86 testing in Europe, and rumors indicate more power from the engine. Subie's boss has even confirmed the existence of a partnership to create a next-gen model. Related Video:

Subaru to return to Isle of Man with 2015 WRX STI hoping to set new record [w/videos]

Fri, Apr 18 2014

This is what it looked like when Mark Higgins set the lap record at the 37.75-mile TT Mountain Course on the Isle of Man in 2011 in a Subaru WRX STI. And it will probably look much the same when Higgins returns to the chunk of land in the Irish Sea to with the aim of breaking his record, set at an average speed of 115.36 miles per hour, but he'll do so in a 2015 WRX STI. As in 2011, he'll drive a mostly stock US sedan fitted with a roll cage, race harness, fire suppression system and upgraded springs and dampers. We're sure he'll be hoping to avoid a repeat of "The biggest moment of my life," though. There's a press release below with more information on the coming attempt, including dates, and we've included a video of that "moment" as well as one of the whole record run. Godspeed, Mr. Higgins.

SUBARU TO DEBUT NEW 2015 WRX STI AT THE ISLE OF MAN TT COURSE AND ATTEMPT NEW FASTEST LAP Thursday 17th April 2014 -- Subaru of America, Inc. announced today that Subaru will return to the fabled Isle of Man TT Races and attempt to beat its own fastest car lap time. The current record of 115.36mph for the iconic 37 3/4 mile TT Mountain Course was set three years ago by Mark Higgins in a (2011) Subaru WRX STI. Higgins will return to drive the new 2015 Subaru WRX STI. The car Higgins will drive is a stock U.S.-spec 2015 WRX STI, with the exception of a roll-cage, race harness, fire suppression system and modified springs and dampers to handle the sustained high speeds of the course. Subaru will also return as a partner with the Isle of Man, renewing its sponsorship of the race. "We are very excited to return for another attempt of the TT course and to be the official car of the TT," said Dominick Infante, National Manager of Product Communications, Subaru of America, Inc. "The Isle of Man is paradise for anyone who appreciates motorsport and there is nothing like the TT road course anywhere else." In his previous attempt on the course, Higgins created one of the most memorable race videos when he had a self-described "moment" at the bottom of Bray Hill at 150 MPH. The video has received almost 10 million views via various media outlets.

2014 Subaru Forester scores 5 stars in NHTSA crash test [w/video]

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Having aced the crash test from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and earning the highest rating of Top Safety Pick+, the 2014 Subaru Forester headed over to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a date with destruction. In the barrage of NHTSA tests, the new Forester met similar results as it did with the IIHS, earning a five-star overall crash rating.
Comparing these number to the previous model, which carried a four-star rating in all areas, the new Forester did much better in the side-impact test to earn a full five stars; frontal and rollover ratings were still at four stars like the old model, but the improved side crashworthiness was enough to gain the NHTSA's highest overall rating. The frontal impact video is posted below, but all the various test videos can be seen on NHTSA's website.
