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. |

Revisit the charms of the 1978 Subaru Brat
Mon, 27 Jan 2014The Subaru Brat is the automotive equivalent of a teenager with a mullet: weird, a little reckless but brimming with enough self-confidence to make it cool.
The Brat came from Subaru's desire to compete in the burgeoning light pickup market of the late-1970s. To get around the so-called Chicken Tax that added a 25 percent tariff on imported pickup trucks, Subaru threw two seats in the bed, which technically allowed it to be classified it as a passenger car. The result was a great, weird combination of a complete lack of safety, with a low price and lots of driving fun.
In the video below, Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman takes a 1978 Brat through the desert and shows just how much fun a little pickup can be.
J.D. Power dependability survey is out, but you shouldn't depend on it
Wed, Feb 14 2018J.D. Power has just released its latest automotive dependability survey, which of course has usual suspects Buick and Lexus ranking high. Those are safe and solid findings, surely. But when you look a little closer, there are curiosities. Our Consumer Editor, Jeremy Korzeniewski, offered an explanation a couple of years back for why this survey should be viewed with a degree of skepticism, and his take is worth a re-read. What jumped out at Jeremy were the relatively low spots assigned to Mazda, Subaru and Scion among the ranking of makes. Back in 2016 when he wrote his piece, they were ranked 21st, 23rd and 24th respectively. In this year's survey, Mazda ranks 15th and Subaru 26th, both below the industry average of 142 reported problems per 100 vehicles. (And Scion, of course, is in car-brand heaven.) Now, part of what is going on here is surely the fact that all automotive brands are producing dependable vehicles compared with years gone by, so the degree of variance between the best and worst on the list is not as great as it once was. "For the most part, automotive manufacturers continue to meet consumers' vehicle dependability expectations," Dave Sargent, a J.D. Power vice president, said in a statement. "A 9 percent improvement is extremely impressive, and vehicle dependability is, without question, at its best level ever." That said, when a brand like Subaru, regarded by many as mechanically bulletproof, ranks 26th, it leaves people who know cars scratching their heads. Something there does not compute. The problem, as Jeremy pointed out, is one of methodology: When he wrote his piece, there was no weighting assigned to the problems reported in the survey. And that still appears to be the case. Therefore, a problem with an infotainment system or a loose piece of trim is deemed as serious as a blown engine or leaky transmission. (And yes, infotainment is still the biggest problem across the board.) Jeremy's point: If the categories of problems were weighted, you'd see a different picture. When you look at the Consumer Reports brand rankings (subscription required), you get a very different picture. in CR's rankings, Subaru is No. 6 among brands, which, well, sounds a lot more like it. CR singles out the redesigned 2017 Impreza as a car with some new-model problems. (The BRZ had the fewest.) The two surveys jibe a little more closely when it comes to Mazda, which CR ranks 12th, a drop of six places from previous-year rankings.
