This is the one you've been waiting for!!!!

 

One adult owner, ultra low mileage Florida car in Obsidian black with original gold BBS wheels.

(This is a completely unmolested car with an Autocheck score of 95, it just doesn't get any better then this!!)

 

I purchased this car brand new from Mastro Subaru in Tampa FL. At the time I was 34 years old, and drove this car every day for the first two years of ownership. Now I'm well into my 40's with three kids, and only drive the car once or twice a month. My automotive priorities have changed and it's time for this wonderful car to go to someone who will appreciate this car as I did back in 2006.

 

This car is in truly exceptional condition. Absolutely everything works as it should on this car. No issues, no dissapointments. All it's paint is original, the interior is completely stock, there isn't a single door ding on it. It's never spent a night outside, never seen snow, ice or salt. What else can I say? If you've been holding out for the right STI to come along, this is your chance... One day I'm going to regret selling this car as they're going to become a serious collectors piece very soon. This one is so good it belongs in Subaru of Americas own collection up in Cherry Hill, NJ. I have a reserve on it because I'm not willing to take the risk of a no reserve listing on this car, it's just too nice. The reserve is reasonable though and in line with other recent STI sales on eBay.

 

During my ownership, the car has only had Mobil 1 oil changes, I've only ever used Shell 93 Octane in it, and has only required a few service/maintenance items. I replaced the tires in 2012 with brand new and slightly wider (245/40/17) Yokohama S.Drives, Also in 2012 I replaced the front brake pads with StopTech pads and also replaced the battery with a brand new genuine Subaru battery. The wiper blades were replaced around the same time as well. To show you how detailed I am regarding this car, I kept all the original parts removed (battery, brake pads, wiper blades, etc..) so if the new owner wants them they're welcome to them. It has only two very minor modifications, an SPT intake and a Prodrive muffler, which I did a couple of months after buying it. I still have and will include the original airbox/intake. Unfortunately, I sold the original muffler some years ago... It also has a very nice window tint all around that I had done right after I bought the car. As the car doesn't spent much time outside, the tint is still as new.

 

Take a look at the all the pictures, it really is that clean in person, it drives exactly as it did back in 2006 when I drove it off the lot in 2006. The interior still has the new car smell, it's never been eaten, drank or smoked in... Yes, I'm one of those people who makes others take their shoes off when getting in my car. This car has never even had a drink in it's cup holders!!! This has to be the closest thing to a new 2006 STI out there, unless someone bought one and immediately tucked it away in a warehouse somewhere. The pictures show a ScanGauge 2 velcroed to the top of the steering column. I use this to show MAP, intake air temp, ignition timing and speed confirmation. The new owner can keep it or I'll remove it if desired.

 

The car has a clean/clear Florida title and comes with all the original paperwork, owners manual and sets of keys. Local buyers are very welcome to view the car in person. I require a non-refundable $250 deposit upon purchase commitment. Please make sure you have the funds available before bidding!!! I will be happy to meet any buyer flying in to drive it home at SRQ airport. I will also be happy to help load it on a car transport if shipping is required. If shipping is required it is the buyers responsibility to arrange and pay for shipping. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. I will be happy to email the shown pictures as well as other current pictures of the car to anyone who asks and provides a valid email address.

 

Best of luck and don't forget that reserve auctions need to be bid on early and often to drive the bid up to the reserve price.

Waiting until the end of the listing to bid doesn't work for reserve auctions.

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.

Next-gen Subaru WRX STI spotted at the N"urburgring

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Subaru has been busy testing the next-generation WRX STI. Well, it may be the STI. The big wing out back lends some credence to that theory, but it could be that the basic WRX is getting new action in the back section. Time will tell.
In either case, spy photographers nabbed a few shots of the heavily camouflaged sedan running around the Nürburgring. Unfortunately, it looks as if Subaru has taken some of the sexy out of the WRX Concept we saw at the New York Auto Show, leaving this car looking more derivative of the current model than a revolution in design. The bold power bulge has disappeared from the vehicle's hood and the lower fascia looks far more demure than the the wild concept. Likewise, the muscular rear fenders have been toned down substantially.
The result is a car that looks more like a mildly warmed over version of the current model than a production version of the WRX Concept. Still, engineers and designers may have a long way to go before the finished product hits the market, so we'll reserve final judgement for now. After all, the early BRZ mules were nothing short of a travesty to look at, and we know how that turned out. Hope springs eternal.

Subaru previews rally-ready WRX STI for Global RallyCross

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Subaru's long and distinguished history in the world of rallying is about to get another chapter, as it's set to field a team in the Global RallyCross Championship. The car? The all-new WRX STI.
Yes, Subaru will be fielding a GRC challenger, with drivers Bucky Lasek and Sverre Isachsen at the helm. This particular car was teased earlier this week, and is a preview of the eventual GRC model which will launch this fall. The race-ready STI boasts a custom widebody kit with a carbon-fiber rear wing. The roof scoop and the mirrors are also made of carbon fiber, while the wheels are provided by Method. As with all GRC contenders this year, the WRX STI is shod in Yokohama spec rubber. It's not clear what sort of engine sits under the scooped hood, although we imagine we'll find out before the season kicks off in a few months.
Perhaps even more exciting is word that Subaru will also prepare a version of the WRX STI for stage rallies, with Travis Pastrana and David Higgins fielding the new car in the Rally America Championship. That car should arrive later this year.
