I purchased the car in December of 2010 from Huffines Subaru in Texas. Has been very well cared for. Synthetic oil every 5k miles. Synthetic diff oil in front and rear differentials. New brake pads and front rotors. AC system just evacuated and charged. The only non-factory items it has are:

1. An aux input to the original radio.

2. Fuel filter moved from the tank to the engine bay for easier access (exactly like the 2004 models had it)

Good:

The car has good tires with plenty of tread left. Less than a year old.

New brakes and front rotors

New original type windshield (orig had a small chip turn into a huge crack overnight...have all receipts)

AC just serviced

All original

Synthetic fluids

Never modded or raced.

Interior is just nearly perfect. Seriously.

Original spare and tools

Most of my receipts including all the documentation from my purchase and many parts and services I performed over the last 4 years.

Pulls great

No smoke

Bad:

The original wheels have seen better days. They are pretty scuffed up and a couple even have bends. They hold a tire and I like originality so I kept them on it but they really need work or replaced.

Hail and scrape damage to the car. (If you want more detailed pictures of the damage, just notify me and I'll try to get some extreme closeups at an angle...it's just really hard to see on a white car but the damage is less noticeable in the pics than it is in person.

If Ebay allows it, here is a link to close-up video of the car and how it looks:

The oil spots on the concrete under the WRX are NOT from this car. They are from the old Riviera that was parked in that spot a few minutes earlier. The WRX does not leak.

Pictures speak for themselves. ***

***Apparently the pictures really do not speak for themselves:

EDIT: After viewing the pictures on Ebay, the hail damage is not as visible as it should be. Look at the close-up of the car roof. That will give you a better idea. The primary affected areas are the hood and roof and a little on the trunk lid, although every panel took at least a couple hits. The car still looks great from 15 feet away, but up close you can see it. It never bothered me because the car runs and drives great and the interior is so good, but if you like extremely straight body work, you'll have to put in a little time or money. That's why the car is priced almost 3k below blue book.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Day 2: We made it to Patagonia | Subarus in South America

Wed, Feb 17 2016

We made it. After Monday's layover in Buenos Aires on Tuesday afternoon, Chris McGraw and I landed in El Calafate, Argentina – right smack in the middle of Patagonia. The Andes mountains were to our west, open plains and lakes cut by glaciers to our east. McGraw and I settled inside a Subaru Outback, and with big smiles on our faces, high-fived as I said the words, "Dude... We're in f*cking Patagonia." Our official adventure starts today, where we're driving a number of Subaru crossovers on all sorts of terrain, visiting glaciers that are larger than most American cities, and taking in some of the most scenic landscape I've ever laid eyes on. Crosstreks, Foresters, and Outbacks will get us to our next destination, and we'll have a full recap of the day's activities for you tomorrow morning. Be sure to follow along with us on social media Â– Autoblog's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram will provide more insights into our journey. Of course, both Chris and I will be posting individual impressions from the journey, so follow us, too (@stevenewing and @thequikdraw). In the meantime, get an idea of our epic surroundings in the video above.

Toyota, Mazda drop Takata as Mitsubishi, Subaru weigh options

Sat, Nov 7 2015

It's not a very good time to be Takata right now. Fresh on the heels of longtime partner Honda ditching them, Toyota and Mazda have both come out and said they will not use the company's airbag inflators if they continue to rely on ammonium nitrate. Bloomberg reports that Subaru and Mitsubishi are also contemplating a divorce. "The inflator using ammonium nitrate produced by Takata will not be adopted by Toyota," President Akio Toyoda said during a briefing today. "What's most important above anything else is the safety and peace of mind of customers." Mazda echoed that position, simply saying it "will not use Takata airbag inflators which contain ammonium nitrate in our new cars." When you lose three huge OEM accounts in as many days, it's certainly going to have a deleterious effect on your fortunes. In Takata's case, that's meant a staggering 39-percent drop in their share price over the last three days. Yesterday alone, the company saw a 6.2-percent fall, Bloomberg reports. As the business publication reports, though, Takata isn't going down without a fight. The company is "considering some plans to survive," including a fundraising plan that will see it potentially offer up additional shares for sale. Still, at least one analyst doesn't see whatever company survives staying involved in the airbag inflator business. "I really don't see how they're going to be able to survive as an inflator manufacturer," Valient Market Research founder Scott Upham told Bloomberg. "When your major clients publicly come out and say that they're not going to use your products anymore, it makes this very difficult to sustain your business."
