Up for sale is my 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS 2-door coupe. I am the second owner. In the last year, I have had the brakes, clutch, timing belt, water pump, right front axle, spark plugs, and all gaskets replaced. I also had Michelin tires put on the car in the summer of 2011, and after roughly 15,000 miles, they have plenty of tread left. There is a minor rattle and steering wheel shake from about 60-75 mph that a tire tech attributed to fix-a-flat that I had needed to use on two of the tires after I ran over some nails--but he told me that unless I found it to be very bothersome (which I have not), there was no need to replace them, and I've driven several thousand miles with no problems since then. As you will see, I have got New York plates (and clean New York title in hand), but live in Denver, where I moved in August for grad school. 


The interior is very clean, with the rare custom leather that you will only find on a handful of RSes. (I do have the 2.5 RS floor mats, as well as all-weather mats, which will be included, but did not make it into the pictures because I was having them cleaned at the time). The exterior is also in nice shape, as you will see from the attached pictures. There are scratches on the left rear bumper, and front bumper, as documented in the pictures. Other than that, there are simply a few minor scratches and dings that would only be spotted if one was looking closely for them, and the original paint has held up very well. 

The engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and brakes all work flawlessly. Except for the performance shocks that the previous owner had put on the car, this RS is entirely stock, and I can say with confidence that you will be hard pressed to find another one of these increasingly rare cars in such nice shape. On that note, I recently learned that only 1,500 manual RSes were produced in 1999 (for more info, see cars101.com), and when you consider how many have been destroyed or modified, cars such as this one are rapidly becoming even harder to find. This is reflected in their actual sales prices, which for nice examples, have been considerably higher than KBB listings--and from what I understand, the value of these cars has actually been going up in the last couple years. 

This car is a lot of fun to drive, is reliable, and gets very solid gas mileage (usually 27+ mpg per tank)--and with the work that I've recently had performed on it, am confident that it will be good to go for quite awhile. I am sure that both the Subaru enthusiast and someone looking for a fun, safe, reliable car, will be equally happy with its purchase. I am simply selling because I found a deal on a newer car that was too hard to pass up. If you need help with shipping, and you are far outside of the Colorado area, I will be glad to work with whatever company you hire, or to pick you up from Denver International Airport if you want to fly in and drive it home yourself.

Please do note that I will also have the car for sale locally, so reserve the right to end the listing should I find a buyer here. Thanks very much for looking, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
