See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car has been on a mail route and is a 1996 used vehicle. It is in fair to good shape considering this vehicle. But this is because we do take care of the vehicle so it can help to comfortably deliver the mail or newspaper."

NO Reserve, beyond opening price, of course. You will see an honest description below. It may keep some from buying the car, but, I have 100% feedback for a reason.

The car has been very reliable but is in need of some attention to replace a front left CV shaft that is clicking, the AWD doesn't always engage. The air and heat work as they should, power windows and door locks, Rear defrost, all work. The washer jug leaks.  A sensor will not allow it to be "floored" and will bog down. If you just accelarate normally, it is fine. The speedometer and odometer have not moved for some time so the mileage is not accurate. This is a great car to deliver mail or to deliver newspapers so you can safely drive without the twisting on a LHD car. We have owned this Subaru for over 7 years. My wife is a RCA and uses it on Saturday and fill-in on vacation days for the local rural route. It has been on the route every day for the last month. It is also used as a daily driver and is a blast for all of the puzzled looks from passing drivers. We no longer need this car, found an incredible RHD Subaru and would love to see this go to someone that can fix the small issues and enjoy a good reliable car to deliver mail.

Located in Indiana and is for sale locally. I will end the auction early if sold locally.

Please ask any questions. I will quickly respond to any questions.

Subaru issues recall over cars that may start themselves

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Subaru has issued one of the strangest recalls we've come across in some time. As it turns out, certain Subaru models may randomly start their own engines. The issue is confined to select models equipped with an automatic or CVT and the company's optional Audiovox remote engine starter (RES) accessory. If the RES key fob is dropped, it could "randomly transmit an engine start request without pressing the button."
Vehicles affected include the 2010-2012 Legacy and Outback with an automatic or CVT, 2012-2013 Impreza with the CVT, and 2013 XV Crosstrek with CVT (shown), all equipped with the Audiovox RES accessory. Likewise, certain 2013 Legacy and Outbacks may have received replacement RES fobs that could be affected. All told, 47,419 vehicles are included in the recall.
Should one of these cars start on their own, Subaru says they will run up to 15 minutes, but the vehicle may also continue to start and stop until either the battery in the fob dies or the car runs out of fuel. Of course, if one of these cars is parked in an enclosed area, that means harmful gasses could build up, which could be dangerous if inhaled.

Subaru EyeSight: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Peering out of the top of the windshield of a growing number of Subaru models, looking like a pair of cyborg eyes on either side of the car's rearview mirror, are twin cameras that make up the visible portion of Subaru's high-tech EyeSight system. For 2015, the stereoscopic camera-based system is available on the Forester, Legacy, Impreza and Outback.
These cameras allow Subaru to equip its vehicles with such safety and convenience features as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and pre-collision braking that can slow the car automatically if an imminent accident is detected, even bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.
Subaru has offered EyeSight technology on its vehicles in the United States since the 2013 model year. Newly upgraded for 2015, EyeSight's smaller cameras now see in color and are capable of scanning further ahead and over a wider swath, which means an EyeSight-equipped car will now be able to respond more quickly. That means a higher chance of accident avoidance for 2015, something everyone on the road will surely appreciate.

Subaru teasing new WRX S4 model ahead of Japanese debut

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

The Subaru WRX range is growing just a little bit larger, at least in Japan, with the automaker's teasing announcement of a new version called the S4. Unfortunately, the company is keeping details about its latest all-wheel drive sport sedan a closely guarded secret for the moment.
From what we can glean, it appears that the S4 might be a more luxurious take on the WRX. According to the release, the name stands for the four qualities that Subaru wants the sedan to have: "'Sports performance', 'Safety performance', 'Smart driving' and 'Sophisticated feel.'" As part of this focus, the car comes with the company's EyeSight camera system. Thankfully, we don't have too long to wait to find out what all of the buzz words actually mean because Subaru is unveiling the S4 on August 25 in Japan.
The automaker also launched a teaser website for the S4 that you can cheek out, here, but at the moment it doesn't provide any more details about the new sport sedan. The site just has countdown until the August reveal. There's also no indication yet whether this potentially more premium WRX could make it US shores. Scroll down to read the Subaru's rather concise teaser for the upcoming S4.
