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.

Subaru uses a mime and a toy car to explain why it loves the boxer engine

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

I will freely admit to struggling with why Subaru continues to stubbornly employ a boxer engine design while so few other automakers do the same. After all, with twice the number of cylinder heads and cams as a traditional inline four-cylinder engine, a boxer four is more complex, more expensive to manufacture and more cumbersome to service with few tangible benefits. Until recently, the company's engines struggled to meet the fuel economy numbers of its competitors while offering no real boon in horsepower or torque. Subaru seems to recognize I'm not the only one scratching my head.
In order to help us non-believers understand what's what, the company has employed a pair of mimes, a toy car and a few clay engines to demonstrate the folly of every other automaker on the planet. Subaru says the boxer offers up a lower center of gravity than either an inline four-cylinder engine or a V6, which I will gladly concede. The company also says the design offers up smoother operation.
I'll offer just two counterpoints here. First, an engine with a low center of gravity is excellent, but when vehicles like the Forester, XV Crosstrek and Outback boast more ground clearance than most mainstream SUVs, that argument flies out the window. Second, anyone who's spent any amount of time behind the wheel of a vehicle equipped with an inline four and then proceeded to move into one propelled by a boxer can tell you the latter has all of the idling manners of a small tractor. Check out the video below to see for yourself.

Comedic Hasselhoff car ad leads to a dream job in Sweden

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Last month a guy in Florida posted a homemade ad for his 1996 Nissan Maxima online and Nissan bought it from him. This month a guy in Sweden posted a homemade ad for his 1985 Subaru Justy J10 Trendy online and got a job with Swedish car magazine Auto Motor und Sport. When Nils Jangan relocated to a new city and couldn't get a job, the financial drain eventually demanded he get rid of his car. Looking for a way to convince anyone to purchase a 29-year-old hatchback, he enlisted the help of Mordor, Saruman and, naturally, David Hasselhoff giving the thumbs up.
The picture was accompanied by text describing the "Japanese mountain goat" that was "hand-forged" by "the Saruman of carmakers," and its "54 frighteningly well-hung horses." One of its other advertised features was "I.D.N.R.I.S" seat belts, the "Instant Death No Retardation Impact System" meaning the occupants would never have to worry about long-term care if they were "in any collision at speeds higher than 12 km/hour." He asked 10,000 kroner (about $1,500 US) for the beauty, but he was also willing to trade for a job.
After posting the ad on Blocket, a Swedish craigslist, and having it shared throughout the community, Jangan got a ton of interest in the car and a job offer from Auto Motor und Sport, which he accepted. As for the Subie, it ended up going to a local repair shop for just a few hundred kroner, but we imagine Jangan's gets a decent work-related loaner or two to make up for it.

Subaru ups US sales projections to 500k units

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Subaru is going absolutely gangbusters so far in 2014, with growing year-over-year sales every month this year adding to the streak of 33 consecutive months. The prognosis is so positive that the Japanese brand is revising its 2014 forecast to 500,000 vehicles or more, from a previous estimated 460,000. If it reaches the goal, it would be the first time that the automaker hit the half-million mark here.
Subaru has been growing steadily in the US for a while now. Annual sales have increased for the past five consecutive years with 2014 not indicating for that to change. For August alone, the company moved 50,246 vehicles, up 22.37 percent year-over-year, and the business proclaimed it as the best month in its history.
According to Subaru, it believes that the growth for the last two years has been fueled by the latest Forester and XV Crosstrek last year and the new Legacy and Outback this year. "The market is telling us that we are delivering products that consumers want at the right prices," said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer at Subaru of America.
