Here is a great Subaru that’s been loved by ONE family (3 owners). Used for our summer and winter house commutes along with some work commutes (all highway) It’s been great to us but we need a newer addition to our Subaru collection. Even though we are told this one will last forever with some work-we are just not willing.  

 

**We have included as many details as possible so everything is on the table for you.

 

These are the issues and recommendations from the Subaru guys and our regular mechanics that we just don’t want to invest in the labor costs right now.

*We replaced the rear differential 9 months ago, but there is still some occasional noise in rear (possible cv joints?).

* Right front axle replaced about 8 months ago

*Car is recently mis-firing a bit (oil leak)

*There was exhaust noise a few months ago so I had it welded (temporarily). I assume it will need another weld (or self tapping screws?) or simply replaced because noise is back.

*Will need tires

*Needs tune up

*Valve cover gaskets (with other maintenance recommendations, see below in ad)

*Possible tie rods

.*There are small dings here and there and cosmetic wear with age. The biggest dings were made about 10 yrs ago by trying to park in between two cars in a parking lot as one car was pulling out.  Damage was on front of driver side door (SEE PIC). NO body work was ever done on car …which is pretty obvious ;) Frame is fine.

*It's almost time for the 105k mile timing belt change-so it was suggested (by friends that had it done) to get the gaskets done for the leak and ask the mechanic to do timing belt and other maintenance while engine is out of car to save a ton of money on labor costs. 

*There are some wires hanging under the driver side dashboard which is an easy fix to push up that we just haven’t bothered with because it’s basically a cosmetic issue that isn’t ever seen..

 *Car runs pretty darn good on the highway, I am sure it would make a decent trip home with you, but no guarantees for an extremely long drive before you tie the exhaust up again. I haven’t taken it very far these days.

*Interior is in good -clean shape, new mats great radio/cd system, keyless alarm -which I have currently disabled (but can be enabled)

*Power window locks and windows

. **SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOOR POWER LOCK GETS STUCK. We rarely lock our doors where we live but I just manually lock from inside when I need to.

*ABS

*AWD

*Dual airbags

*Great on gas!

*Clean title and carfax!

 

 

 

 Please read this all thoroughly and ask ALL questions and for more pics if needed BEFORE bidding. Car is sold AS IS -WHERE IT IS. Buyer is responsible for ALL aspects of transport.  Car has always been smoke and pet free. A NON REFUNDABLE DOWN PAYMENT OF $400 is due within 24 hours of winning bid via paypal.

 Thanks for looking!

2014 Subaru Forester scores 5 stars in NHTSA crash test [w/video]

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Having aced the crash test from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and earning the highest rating of Top Safety Pick+, the 2014 Subaru Forester headed over to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a date with destruction. In the barrage of NHTSA tests, the new Forester met similar results as it did with the IIHS, earning a five-star overall crash rating.
Comparing these number to the previous model, which carried a four-star rating in all areas, the new Forester did much better in the side-impact test to earn a full five stars; frontal and rollover ratings were still at four stars like the old model, but the improved side crashworthiness was enough to gain the NHTSA's highest overall rating. The frontal impact video is posted below, but all the various test videos can be seen on NHTSA's website.

Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US

Fri, 09 May 2014

It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.

2018 Buick Regal TourX vs. wagon competitors: How it compares on paper

Wed, Jan 31 2018

To the great joy of auto enthusiasts nationwide, wagons are back! Well, at least there's a few more of them. The latest is the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, which we just had our first drive of and found to actually be quite good with pleasant handling, solid power and plenty of space. But, how does the TourX compare to other cladded wagons? Well, let's dive into the specs and fire up the ol' spreadsheet maker for Buick Regal TourX vs Subaru Outback vs Audi A4 Allroad vs VW Alltrack vs Volvo V60 Cross Country. True, some are from mainstream brands and others are from luxury marques, but Buick straddles both realms, so it's appropriate to look at them all. Of course, there's more to these cars than just the numbers, but they're still important, and in the case of this class of crossover-aping wagons, can vary more than you'd expect. So check out the specs in the chart below, which are followed by more analysis and photos of each. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines and Transmissions When comparing powertrains, the Buick is far-and-away the winner as far as torque is concerned, and is in a nearly three-way tie for horsepower. Its 295 pound-feet of torque is 22 lb-ft more twist than the next-most-grunty Audi A4 Allroad. And in regards to power, the Buick's 250-horsepower engine is only down 6 hp to the most-powerful Subaru and its optional naturally aspirated flat-six, and just 2 hp less than the Audi. At the bottom of the pack is the Subaru Outback with the standard naturally aspirated flat-four, which only makes 174 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. That may not seem too bad compared with the VW Golf Alltrack, which only makes 170 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque, but the VW is much lighter by between 200 and 300 pounds. Transmission-wise, there's quite a bit of variation in the group. The Regal TourX and the Volvo V60 Cross Country rely on eight-speed automatics, all Outbacks use CVTs, and the Alltrack and Allroad have dual-clutch automated manual transmissions with six and seven gears, respectively. But for people that want to shift for themselves, the only option is the Volkswagen, which offers a traditional six-speed manual transmission on the Golf Alltrack. Cargo and Interior Space One of the main reasons to buy a wagon is for the body style's large cargo capacity. And for the most space for things and stuff, you'll want to check out the Subaru and the Buick.
