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.

2015 Subaru Legacy, Outback crash their way to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The Subaru Legacy and Outback are the latest vehicles to be awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's most prestigious safety title, Top Safety Pick+.
As we've explained many times before, this only applies vehicles that can score an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating on the five IIHS crash tests and earn at least a "Basic" rating for crash prevention systems.
In the Legacy's case, it totally aced IIHS's testing, earning "Good" scores on the small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact tests, while also bringing home the top "Superior" rating for its optional EyeSight system.

Subaru WRX and STI meet at the dyno with interesting results

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Road and Track recently put the 2015 Subaru WRX and the 2015 WRX STI through a battery of dyno tests to find out not only how much difference there is between their two engines, but what kind of differences there are. The WRX gets the company's new FA20 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine with features like a twin-scroll turbocharger, direct injection and variable valve timing on its two cams. The WRX STI stands pat with the older EJ-Series motor, meaning a 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder with port fuel injection and carryover turbo lag. Subaru pegs the $26,295 WRX at 268 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and an "extremely conservative" 0-60 mile per hour time of 5.4 seconds. The $34,495 STI clocks in at 305 hp and 290 lb-ft with a 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds. Ok, fight.
R&T's dyno runs sussed power numbers at the wheel of 223 hp and 245 lb-ft for the WRX, 247 hp and 243 lb-ft for the STI, then went on to demonstrate in numbers what everyone knew: that the WRX consistently puts out more of its torque earlier than the STI and achieves full boost almost three seconds quicker. On the other hand, on the track, the STI was also shown to have a conservative official 0-60 mph time, stopping the timer at 4.8 seconds compared to the WRX's 5.2 seconds.
The mag says it has comprehensive results coming from its "complete battery of tests," but for now, you can scrutinize their dyno charts and let the battle continue about which one you'd rather put your money down for.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
