2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx Wagon, Wr Blue, Manual, 'bugeye' on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, New York, United States
|
179k miles and counting, 5-speed manual transmission, never smoked in,
no pets, meticulously maintained w/ records & just completed an
extensive 180k maintenance covering everything from valve cover gaskets
to a complete brake job. It should require no major service until 210k.
This was supposed to be my 'forever' car, so I was maintaining and
modifying very carefully. However, personal reasons force a sale. Clean
title, three keys & two remotes, all manuals in hand.
This car has been my winter trip car and poor-weather daily driver (I commute via motorcycle) for the last several years. Most miles are highway/interstate miles. It has never let me down in any situation and I am committed to performing all maintenance on or before schedule. This WRX has been modded to produce a singular end result: a reliable, practical, and fun-to-drive car for someone who can have just one car. Most mods target suspension, practicality, and longevity. Please see list below. There are some issues that affect most Subarus and some that affect only this model and year. These include head gaskets, wheel bearings, and transmissions. I've done my best to prevent these types of failures through driving choices and maintenance. Subaru 2.0L turbo motors are not as prone to head gasket failures as the N/A 2.5L, but it doesn't hurt to be safe. Used oil analyses (Blackstone) and compression tests (very strong compression) show a very healthy motor with no oil/coolant mixing and I always use Subaru Long-Life Coolant with Subaru Coolant Conditioner. I've recently replaced the passenger rear wheel bearing and the passenger front wheel bearing with hubs & ball-joints from a parted 2007 WRX with less than 10k miles. This wheel bearing should far outlast any aftermarket bearing. This 2002 WRX has the 'BA' transmission, which is stronger than the earlier 'AA' transmissions. Additionally, I never drop the clutch, shift slowly and carefully, use synthetic transmission oil, and have maintained close-to-stock power levels. All open recalls (wagon door stays, fuel lines, control arms) have been performed at Koppel Subaru in Queens, NY. Interior: 8.5/10. Some scuffs in the rear, some usual Subaru rattles, and some wear normal for a 180k mile car. Otherwise, it is very clean. Exterior: 9/10. It's hard to keep a car perfect in NYC, but condition is certainly well above average and the paint still shines. I had the trunk keyhole shaved when someone tried to break the lock cylinder. Mechanical: 9.5/10. Motor is very strong with compression tests showing less than 3% difference between cylinders. UOAs show excellent motor condition. Transmission is in excellent shape, all synchros intact w/ smooth shifts. Suspension in great shape with lots of life left, and the chassis is very solid.

However, for items I am unable to perform, I turn the car over to a Subaru specialist. Payment, Delivery Require $1000 deposit, balance upon local pickup. I am willing to help your carrier ship the car, but payment must clear first. If you have any questions, shoot me a message. |

New Subaru Legacy may be getting smaller six-cylinder and sport models
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Subaru gave the next-generation, 2015 Legacy a brand new, more sophisticated platform and improved interior at the Chicago Auto Show, but the engines were carried over barely changed from the previous gen. However, if a rumor from Car and Driver turns out to be true, then the power trains may be getting upgraded as well.
A source within Subaru indicates that the aging 3.6-liter flat-six might finally be getting a replacement in favor of a smaller, more powerful six-cylinder engine, and the four-cylinder may get direct injection. Both of them would be ready for the new Legacy's mid-cycle refresh in about three years, and they would likely be shared by new Outback too.
The turbocharged, GT trim has been absent from the US-market Legacy for the last few model years, but the insider hinted that it might make a return in the coming years. The new version would use the 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four found in the Forester and the WRX. Though like the Forester, a turbocharged Legacy would likely only be available with the CVT.

Subaru celebrates 4-millionth vehicle built in Indiana
Mon, 02 Sep 2013Subaru has produced its four-millionth vehicle at its Lafayette, Indiana factory. The Deep Indigo Blue 2014 Outback is pictured above, alongside the very first Subaru to leave the Lafayette facility, a first-generation Legacy. Formally known as Subaru of Indiana Automotive, SIA opened its doors in 1989 and currently produces the Outback, Forester and Tribeca for Subaru, in addition to the Toyota Camry.
The plant, which was originally a joint venture between Subaru and Isuzu, has produced nine different models for four different manufacturers over the years, and is getting ready to add a tenth as Impreza production will be coming to SIA. Subaru announced plans to move Impreza production to Indiana when it made a $400-million investment in the facility earlier this year. As production continues, the Lafayette Journal-Courier reports that SIA will produce another million units by the end of 2017.
