You are bidding on a 2002 Subaru WRX Wagon (VIN# JF1GG29632G822238). I am the original owner of this car, I bought it when they first became available in the US. I knew they were going to be great cars, and this one has not disappointed me. 

I have loved driving it for the entire 130k miles that are on the car. The only reason why I am parting with it is because my commute to work is now taking me through downtown traffic and it's time for me to get a new WRX, but with the automatic for the bumper to bumper traffic I will likely be facing. I have not regretted a single mile in this car.


Important notes on the car:


- I have kept all service records on the car, I always used synthetic oil, and there are no leaks nor burning smoke coming from the engine.
- The seats are in very good condition. There are no tears, holes or large stains.
- The car has never been wrecked. The only body damage that has occurred resulted from things lightly denting it during Hurricane Wilma, and one light hit to the left passenger door while it was in a parking lot. All body work was done professionally by a dealership body shop.
- This car is loaded with every option that was available in 2002. It has the sport instrument cluster, the upgraded Subaru sound system, and the alarm system, among other options.
- I purchased the protective cargo tray and mats.


Recent services performed/parts replaced:

- Heavy duty clutch installed at 90k miles.
- Both rear struts were replaced ($400 each side)
- Both front CV joints were replaced recently
- AC serviced and the expansion valve and drier was replaced
- Most light bulbs were replaced with LED bulbs
- New auto-dimming rear view mirror with electronic compass


Additional Items Installed:


- Turbo boost controller that allows the engine to be switched from low to high boost for power or economy modes.
- Computer programmer that allows the computer to be programmed with various maps (profiles) for a range of modes from high performance to economy to stock modes in just a few seconds.
- 17" wheels and tires with plenty of tread.
- Subaru slotted high performance rotors and pads.
- Radar detector
- Remote start so the car AC will cool the car down on a hot day before you get in it.
- Short shifter with nylon bushings (the original Subaru rubber bushings always wear out and the shifter gets sloppy. This shifter is tight.)
- Borla stainless exhaust bought through Subaru. This is NOT a "fart pipe". It is a deep, bass-filled tone that sounds more like a V-8.
- Exhaust up-pipe to the turbo.
- Larger turbo (I still have the original turbo and it was working well when I removed it at 110k miles.)
- STI version hood scoop. This is a Subaru part that allows more air to cool the intercooler.
- Trailer hitch. I used it with a rear-mounted bike rack.
- Tinted windows


Things to note:

- There are a few chips in the paint around the front that you would expect on a car of this age.
- The heavier clutch has a little bit of chatter if you try to start too softly.
- Since I use RainX, I have never used the windshield washer system. I think the supply tubes dried out since there has never been washer fluid in them.
- In the sport instrument cluster, the oil pressure gauge does not work. The oil indicator in the dash works, but this is an add-on option that relies on a wire that goes into the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Objects and branches on the road cut this wire, and after the 3rd time repairing it, I did not repair it when it was cut again. Easy to fix.


It is the buyer's responsibility to test drive and ask any and all questions regarding this car. I will try to answer everything to the extent that I am able, and I will make myself available for showing the car based on my schedule. This is a used car in a private sale, so there is no warranty and the sale is final, so please test drive the car first and ask me any questions that you think are important.

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings

Thu, Dec 7 2017

Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test

2015 Subaru WRX to get CVT option?

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

The 2015 Subaru WRX will make its debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show next week - that much we know for sure. We'll have all of the official specs very soon, but it seems Jalopnik has stumbled upon an official-looking document that spells out some of the 'Rex's finer details, including the availability of a continuously variable transmission.
Now, before you throw your laptops and phones out the window, know this: a proper manual transmission will still be available. Do remember, the WRX has always had an automatic option, and the move to a CVT for the 2015 model isn't terribly surprising. According to the document, the new WRX will use a 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four - a change from the 2.5-liter engine in the current car. Subaru also employs a 2.0T boxer engine in the Forester, where it's mated to a CVT. What's more, the Impreza on which the new WRX is based also uses a CVT in favor of a conventional automatic.
Jalopnik points out that the more hardcore WRX STI will use a 2.5-liter turbo-four, and will only be available with a manual transmission. Additionally, there will reportedly be a "launch edition" of the STI, painted in the car's signature WR Blue (fingers crossed for gold wheels!).

Subaru BRZ to get second generation, says exec

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Hallelujah friends, hallelujah. One of the highest voices in Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, has just said that the boxer-obsessed automaker will release a second generation of the lovable BRZ.
Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of FHI, has summarily shot down assertions made by Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer for the Toyota GT86. In a recent interview with an Australian publication, Tada claimed that Subaru had not decided whether it would be involved in the followup effort to the rear-drive coupe, and even speculated that the Toyota could team with BMW for a second-gen car, instead.
"If I were to be told that, I'd pass out. It's not going to be just one generation," Yoshinaga-san told Automotive News.
