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.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Subaru looks back on record-setting WRX STI from 2011 Isle of Man

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

In what we can only presume/hope is a precursor to the launch of the next-gen WRX STI, Subaru has released three videos now giving us a look back at the history of the STI-badged WRX models. In this third video, Dominick Infante, national manager of product communications at Subaru of America, got ahold of the automaker's 2011 WRX STI that broke records for the Isle of Man TT Challenge a couple of years ago.
In 2011, rally driver Mark Higgins piloted this car to a lap speed record of 115 miles per hour and a lap time record of 19:56.7 around the 37.8-mile course. The race-prepped STI, which Infante refers to as an "STI on steroids," features a beefed-up suspension, a wonderful-sounding open exhaust and the removal of the speed limiter to go with full roll cage and racing seats and harnesses.
Scroll down to see - and hear - new driving footage of this 2011 WRX STI with Infante behind the wheel as well as some race footage from 2011 - including a near-disaster Higgins averted at 150 mph. Also, be sure to check out the previous videos from Subaru for the 1998 Impreza 22B STI and a 2004 WRX STI.
