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.....

CCTV footage shows Red Bull trophy heist going down

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Any Formula One team knows the deal: you train, you prepare, you make the best car possible and put it in the hands of the best people you can get. But then out of nowhere another driver crashes into one of yours and your race is over. That's just the way it goes sometimes, but even that didn't prepare Red Bull Racing for the crash that happened at its headquarters last month. That's when some bandits drove a silver Subaru Legacy wagon backwards through the front door of the team's headquarters in Milton Keynes, UK, and made off with a bunch of the trophies displayed in the lobby. Now video footage from a closed-circuit television camera has surfaced, showing the crime go down in a brief twelve-second clip. It was a senseless crime since most of the trophies don't have much intrinsic value, and it's not exactly like they could sell them to someone else. All it accomplished was to damage the team's facility and demoralize the men and women who worked so hard to win those trophies – many of which ended up dumped in a nearby lake.

2015 Subaru WRX STI photos hit the web early

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Wing? Check. WR Blue? Yep. Gold wheels? Aw, yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the 2015 Subaru WRX STI, which has leaked out ahead of its Detroit Auto Show debut, courtesy of Mexican website Terra Autos.
We don't have any firm details to go on, but as we reported earlier, the STI is expected to use a turbocharged, 2.5-liter boxer four producing something like 300 to 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. (Note: The standard WRX uses a new, Forester-derived 2.0-liter engine.) Expect the usual host of STI fitments, including a more performance-oriented suspension tune and upgraded brakes, but don't expect a five-door variant - like the WRX, the STI will be a sedan-only affair.
Check out the leaked shots of the new STI in the gallery above, and stay tuned for all of the official details next week.

Will more efficient tech mean higher prices for Subaru?

Tue, Jun 9 2015

If the latest ruling by the California Air Resources Board holds, then Subaru at least must build a plug-in hybrid in the coming years to comply with the Golden State's regulations. Fuel economy looks to improve across the board for the brand, though, thanks to $780 million going into the development of cleaner powertrains for this fiscal year alone. However, buyers might have to pay more for a Subie in the future after this boost in green spending. "Related costs are going up more than expected, bringing the profit margin downward," Fuji Heavy Industries President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga said to the Nihon Keizai newspaper in Japan, according to Automotive News. "We are a small company. We do not benefit as much from economy of scale as bigger companies, so we will have to make up for the increased costs by raising our brand value." At the moment, Subaru's electrified lineup in the US comprises just the XV Crosstrek Hybrid, but the company is reportedly planning to add more. Plus, Subie also wants to make its internal combustion engines more efficient. According to Automotive News, all of the brand's mills are getting direct injection by 2016, and cylinder deactivation and lean combustion cycles are on track for 2020. Earlier rumors also suggested that the automaker might bring the turbocharged four-cylinder boxer to more products, as well. While these more efficient models might cost more, Subaru must carefully maintain the balancing act of introducing the technology and keeping sales growing. As of May 2015, the brand had 42 straight months of year-over-year growth in the US and had record sales in the country last year. The company has already decided to significantly boost production capacity at its Indiana factory in hopes of keeping the good times rolling.
