2001 Subaru Outback Limited on 2040-cars
United States

2001 SUBARU OUTBACK LIMITED WAGON You are looking at an extremely nice Outback Limited. This is probably one of the nicer 2001 models out there. Body and paint are very nice with minimal scratches, no rust, paint is very good, shines very nicely. The only body repair that has been done to my knowledge is replacement of the front bumper cover. The hood has some "crow's feet" in it, so it may have been repainted in the past. Look at the pictures closely, this car has not been used the way many Outbacks are used. The interior is nearly mint for its age. The leather is very nice, still pliable, the door panels and dash are nearly perfect, the carpet and mats are very good. Everything works as it should - sunroof, windows, gauges, stereo, alarm, horn, door locks, inside and outside lights, etc. The wheels are much nicer than you generally see on this generation of Outbacks. Generally corrosion-free, one has some starting under a wheel weight. See pictures. The entire drivetrain is from a 2004 Legacy, and that is the reason for the salvage title. This drivetrain now has 97,718 miles on it. This drivetrain transplant was done because the previous owner hit something in the roadway and punctured the oil pan. The only other damage was to the radiator support and radiator. The radiator came from the donor car and the support was repaired. The engine and transmission both perform exactly as intended. The transmission shifts properly, and the engine uses little if any oil. The tires are HydroEdge Michelins, installed at 94,300 miles. New pads and rotors were recently installed on the front. Rear brakes were good at time of inspection. Front suspension is in top shape, everything is good, boots not cracked or leaking, recently aligned. Here is what needs to be done to the car: The center differential is going bad, causing the typical problems when the wheel is turned all the way left or right, forward or reverse. It binds, it groans, it pops, but anything less than full turns there are no issues. The head gaskets need replacing. Coolant is apparently leaking into the combustion chambers. A trip of approximately 35-40 miles will empty the reservoir. I check often under the hood of my cars, so this was caught well before there was any overheating. This coolant is NOT leaking to the outside of the engine. There is a very small oil leak at the rear of the motor, easily fixed when the head gaskets are done. AC has slow coolant leak. A full charge will last about one season. Please come inspect this car in person before you bid. Please do not bid on the car first, then come look at it and decide you don't want it. This is not how it works. Email me with any questions you have. I will answer them as quickly and honestly as I can. Again, this is an exceptionally nice Outback for its age and is well worth fixing. I don't think you would find a nicer 2001. This car is very impressive in the winter. See my feedback and bid with confidence. Car is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, implied or stated. Because of the coolant leak, operate this car at your own risk. I would suggest towing it home. |

Watch Mark Higgins whomp the Isle of Man TT course in a 2015 WRX STI
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Subaru has made another trip to the infamous Isle of Man TT, bringing along its all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI. The goal? Best the already impressive time set by rally ace Mark Higgins and the 2011 Impreza WRX STI on the same swirling, high-paced ribbon of tarmac. Of course, you already know how that went.
What we didn't know when the story first broke, though, was that Subaru was monitoring data. Specifically, Higgins' data. He was fitted with a monitor that would record his heart rate, breaths, skin temperature and the g forces he was faced with as he lapped the 37-plus-mile road course. While Higgins and Co. were aiming to best their 2011 time (19:56.7), this year's effort also saw a push to beat the time of the sidecar racers.
You can get a recap of the entire event, with plenty of footage and data from Higgins' lap in the exhilarating video below. Take a look.
Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Subaru debuts tougher-looking Outback for Australia [w/poll]
Tue, 17 Sep 2013If you're going to name a car after a specific location or region, you'd better make sure it's taken seriously in the place it's named for. You're not likely to see a Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Monaco, and the Alfa Romeo Montreal was never even officially offered in North America, but the Subaru Outback is another story.
Subaru apparently takes the Australian market, whose wilderness its jacked-up Legacy wagon is named for, very seriously. So it is apparently rolling out a revised version of the current Outback in Australia itself. The updated Outback, which arrives less than a year before the all-new model is expected to bow, answers Aussie customer feedback with a more rugged look. It's got new roof rails, body cladding, wheel arches, mud flaps, underbody protection plates and blacked-out headlight surrounds and grille trim.
The Motor Report reports that the AUD $2,500 worth of extra equipment - around $2,300 USD - comes with just an AUD $500 ($468) price hike. As far as we can tell, though, there are no plans to bring this latest look to our shores - Subaru has already detailed North America's Outback for the 2014 model year, and these changes aren't mentioned. Should this look be offered in our market? Vote in the poll below and then have your say in Comments.
