Original Retail cost was $25,997.00 before taxes. I am the second owner. I notice Auto Check says 3 owners I can only assume the dealer was considered an owner (?).  I have all the paperwork from the original owner and I purchased it from him..so he said..all the paperwork is from him or his wife.   

I wouldn't be selling this car but I can't tow it without a trailer and I need a 4 wheels on the ground vehicle I can tow behind my motorhome  .

I have most of the important repair records.  A friend did the regular maintenance and I didn't keep those records.  Besides the trans being replaced in 2008 the engine was overhauled (including resurfacing the heads) in 2010. 

The battery is a few years old, I replaced the EGR equipment and the fuel pump within the last 6 months ago and recently had the right and left front inner tie rod ends replaced.  

The tires are also about 6 months old from "Big O Tires".  They have a 100,000 mile limited warranty.  I called the manager of "Big O Tires", he said even though it's not in the contract for second owners as long as the original phone number is used for check up's they should honor the warranty because they want to keep their customers. The records are kept in the system so it's country wide where ever there's a "Big O Tires" store.  I'm assuming that includes the free tire rotation, balancing and the rest of the years wheel alignment warranty. I'm only repeating what I told told on this..I'm sorry I can't guarantee it.  Wish I'd known I was going to sell this baby I would have done it differently.

I can't seem to get the inside rear view mirror to stay positioned.  I was told you need a special tool to tighten the screws and I've never taken it to a Subaru dealership to be checked.  I don't know for sure if it needs to be tightened or replaced.  I was planning on gluing it in place for me  but now whoever buys it will make that decision.

Also, the cup holder is cracked and it takes some positioning to get it to come out just want you to know.

Everything works including the heated seats. REALLY NICE in the winter time even here in California.

There is some wear on the leather seats but not really when you think about the use they've seen. You can see the leather on the dash and doors are in excellent condition for the age. The cars really been taken care of by me and the original owner.  

The rear compartment has a removable rear dog gate (dogs have been in the car) and a plastic compartment mat the keeps moisture from the carpet.  It's pretty worn but still does the job of protecting the carpet.

I haven't seen this on any other Subaru Wagon the rear hatch has stainless lift handle.  It gives you a better grip to open the liftgate.  Oh, the rear liftgate struts work fine except in very cold weather.  They tend to slide back down when it's real cold other then that they are fine. 

Well, I've tried to give you all the information I have on this vehicle.  I have the original paperwork given to me by the original owner including the manuals (although the brochure is for a 1999-I don't know why). 

Please email if you have any questions.  This is an as is sale. It's running and everything is in good condition to the best of my knowledge.  Thanks for looking Sharon

Catch the rally bug in one easy step at Wales Rally GB

Wed, Jan 6 2016

You should go watch a rally. Yes, you. And by "a rally," I mean pretty much anything that could be considered a rally. Is there a grassroots rallycross event near you featuring some $500 beater Subarus mucking about in a field? Go to that. Or a full-blown WRC event. Set your coffeemaker to kick out some extra-potent brew, because you'll probably have to wake up early and drive for a bit to see something. But trust me, it'll be worth it. In Europe, with hundreds of events concentrated in a relatively small geographical area, in all sorts of environments (snow, forest, dirt, you name it), this is a lot easier. North America is huge. Your TV is closer, your couch is comfortable. That's the challenge for hooking new rally fans in America. So, why get off your tail? I travelled to Wales, the tiny windswept country on the western edge of Great Britain, to find out. First, we stopped by David Higgins' rally school, parked at the top of a sheep-studded ridge in the middle of nowhere. This was a two-part trip. The first bit was a visit to David Higgins' rally school, parked at the top of a sheep-studded ridge in the middle of nowhere. The second part was the main event: watching the headline rally event in the UK – WRC Wales Rally GB – in what amounted to a tropical storm at winter temperatures. Despite the challenges, it was one of those trips that left me smiling the whole time. At the Higgins Rally School, we had a very abbreviated experience, essentially the highlights of a multi-day course condensed into a few short hours. The first was learning how to do J-turns on mud, in an old UK-market Ford Escort ... with right-hand drive, and so, a left-hand manual shift, which made it much harder to nail the technique with the "wrong" hand. Then, it was off for a lap with an instructor in the passenger seat in a rear-drive-converted Subaru Impreza WRX – flying through gravel, mud, within spitting distance of piles of logs. That was exhilarating. Or at least, it was, until the ride-alongs with the pros. Jimmy McRae, a storied driver and father to the late and even more storied Colin McRae, was behind the wheel. The car was an early 1990s Prodrive-built Legacy, a real works car, and it made demonic noises as McRae flew through the woods, mostly sideways.

Subaru WRX hatchback mule spotted

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Despite on-again, off-again rumors, this latest set of spy shots seems to indicate that yes, a five-door Subaru WRX is indeed in the works. Subtlety is key with this test mule, but there are clear bits of evidence that indicate a hotter hatchback is what's being developed here.
First, notice the WRX-spec front fascia grafted onto this ordinary-looking Impreza hatch. From there, we can clearly see the tiny bit of added width - most obvious on the roof and at the rear, near the fuel door and taillamps. And of course, let's not forget about that bulge in the hood, consisting of a metal panel that covers the hood scoop and can apparently be removed thanks to a series of screws, according to our spies. The WRX's more robust exhaust and larger wheel/tire package have not been added to this mule, though we're told that this is commonplace for Subaru prototypes - those bits should be added on as the car's development progresses.
We fully expect a WRX hatchback to be, well, just that - mechanically, it should be identical to the sedan brethren, though our spies indicate that Subaru could be testing an updated version of the WRX-spec boxer engine. Of course, there's always a chance that this could be something else entirely, given the on-and-off reports of the five-door 'Rex's existence in the first place...
