2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sedan - Ej20, 2.0l Turbo, 5-speed, Cobb Stage 2 on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Texas, United States
|
I'm very sad to see this car go, but I am putting my WR Blue 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX sedan up for sale. This model has a 5-speed manual transmission and 190,802 miles, and includes the factory turbo boost gauge. I originally acquired this car in February 2006 from Subaru of Dallas and it had 70,000 miles. The car has been well maintained, and I have only used Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and changed it on a regular basis. It has a brand new MAF sensor, new Stoptech front brake pads, freshly turned front rotors, brand new Optima Red Top battery (one of the best batteries you can get). I drained the rear diff and replaced it with Redline fluid at around 120,000 miles. The car has been modified, and comes with a catless Invidia bellmouth downpipe, custom 3" mid-piping, Magnaflow exhaust muffler, and Cobb AccessPort ECU flash using the Stage 2 93 octane base map. I won't lie, this car is fairly loud, but it's not too bad and personally I find it makes driving the car even more fun. I've driven the car hard, and it's seen more than a few autocross events, but I have taken very good care of it and it drives like a dream. While I was a broke college student, the car stayed on the Economy AccessPort map for about 18 months and was driven like an old lady going to church, so it's not all hard miles. The AC is still cold and works well. There is some paint oxidation on the roof, the hoodscoop, and the rear driver door, as well as some minor damage to the rear driver quarter panel and door. It comes with the factory auto-dimming compass mirror, but the auto-dimming fluid inside the mirror has leaked and it no longer dims automatically, but with the window tint it is not really necessary, also the compass in it still works. The front map visor clip just broke, but that part can be replaced for less than $2. The tires have less than half their tread life left and aren't that new. The car also is pre-wired for a subwoofer, and has a JVC KD-SH99 head unit along with aftermarket Pioneer speakers. The sound quality is great in the car as I ram-matted (similar to Dynamat) and foamed all four doors, the trunk lid, and both front floor board and kick panels. It did add some weight to the car but eliminates road noise, enhances the quality of music in the cabin, and also helps reduce the drone from the exhaust. It's been my baby and I'm going to miss it, but I've got a 2012 STi now and cannot justify keeping both any longer, so this one is going to go. Vehicle sold as-is.
Local buyers preferred, but I am willing to ship the vehicle as long as the buyer takes care of all the necessary arrangements and shipping costs. I have a clear title in hand and will endorse it over as soon as payment has cleared. |

Six 'shut up and take my money' cars
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US
Fri, 09 May 2014It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.
West Coast labor dispute hampers Japanese automakers' US plants
Wed, Feb 18 2015The ongoing labor dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and port owners along the West Coast is starting to affect more Japanese automakers building vehicles in the US. The issue already forced Honda and Subaru to take the expensive option of airlifting some parts into the US weeks ago, and according to USA Today, Toyota and Nissan have begun doing so, as well. The choice hasn't been cheap, though, and Subaru's chief financial officer estimated that the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. The effects continue to radiate, according to USA Today, and shortages of some models are possible. Honda is slowing production at its factories in Ohio, Indiana and Canada because the automaker doesn't have enough transmissions and electronics for some vehicles. Toyota already cut back on overtime at some factories. Nissan has only seen a small effect from the issue, though, because of its local suppliers. Dock workers and port owners have been negotiating on a new contract since last year, and the union has organized work slowdowns in response. According to USA Today, the automakers could move shipments to Canada or Mexico, but it would take longer for parts to arrive.
