1998 Subaru Postal Wagon Factory Right Hand Drive All wheel drive Green Mileage 213638 Inspection 10/14 Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The mileage on this vehicle is a combination of route miles and regular driving miles, I worked 25 miles from home so 50 miles per day were for driving back and forth and 38 miles for the route 11 days in two weeks. The last 18 months it has not been used often. Air conditioner and heater work very well. This car has ran well the 6 years I’ve had it. It is very reliable and if I didn’t need the money I wouldn’t be selling it. Also I no longer work for the post office so it is not needed for work. I have done lots of repairs like tie rod ends, axle boots, replaced fuel filter two times, replaced plugs, wires and coil two times, both catalytic converters were replaced. And of coarse brakes and rotors every 6 to 8 months. There is a new radiator, replaced about 2 years ago. Idle air control valve was replaced. All the pulley’s inside the motor that runs the water pump and belts were replaced along with the water pump. Timing belt was replaced at 150,000 miles. Starter was replaced. Two years ago I replaced the transmission with a used one. Both oxygen sensors on the exhausts have been replaced. What is needed soon: front brakes and rotors, last time I replaced front brakes I didn’t replace the rotors and you can tell, it thumps when on the brake heavy. Tires are good but may be needed for inspection in October. Things wrong with car: The antenna is broken so the radio stations do not come in well, I have a Pioneer CD played installed so I just listen to audio books. Plus four Sony speakers, right now the rear speakers are not working only because the plugs vibrate off occasionally. One of the speed sensor controls isn’t working properly causing a squealing noise when it is driven and sometimes the speedometer/odometer does not work. I have researched this problem and found out there is 5 or 6 speed sensors on this car. One in each wheel and two on the transmission. I figured out that one of the speed sensors on the transmission controls the odometer/speedometer so I am pretty sure its on the trans but I have not replaced it because I am not positive as to these findings. This speed sensor control also triggers the engine light on but with a code reader it easily clears. The other issue it has is when its cold and you go up a hill or need extra power to accelerate it bogs out and stales. Once you stop and restart it the car runs fine. This also causes the engine light to go on and the codes are miss fire codes. Since I have replaced plugs, wired, coil, both catalytic converters, and o2 sensors, I haven’t figured out what causes this. This does not happen a lot so it’s hard to figure out. I was told it may be the exhaust manifold gasket but I am not sure. The exterior of this vehicle has been painted with different colors to try to prevent rusting because the paint is peeling off. There is some body rust around the wheel fenders that are bubbling up and the insides of both back doors were holes, these holes were repaired with Bondo and primer but not painted. The front bumper was cut off half way down because it would hit on some of the driveways. This passed inspection with the bumper cut off. There is a dent on the left side rear door, this has been sanded down and painted over but not pulled out and other “typical mail box damage”. I have tried to be as honest as possible about everything with this vehicle. |

2015 Subaru WRX STI headed for Detroit, more WRX details leaked
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The debuts of the 2015 Subaru WRX and the Legacy Concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week are kind of hogging the Subaru spotlight, making it easy to forget that there is a more potent, more aggressive version of the small sedan waiting in the wings. And based on a rumor from Australia, we'll see the sportier WRX STI at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
The report comes from Motoring in Australia, which claims that a more potent version of the WRX will make its debut in the Motor City, and that it will do so with an even 300 horsepower (five fewer than the current STI) and 290 pound-feet of torque (identical to the current car). Aside from the more potent 2.5-liter turbocharged flat four, the STI should boast the regular spread of aesthetic upgrades and suspension, brake, chassis and transmission tweaks.
The standard all-wheel-drive WRX will sprint to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.
Subaru parent company celebrates 60th birthday
Thu, 18 Jul 2013Fuji Heavy Industries, parent company of Subaru, celebrated its 60th anniversary on June 15. And while the company is largely known in the automotive world for its innovative all-wheel-drive cars, its history stretches far back before the days of symmetrical all-wheel drive, World Rally Blue and gold wheels.
FHI was founded, much like Germany's BMW, as an aircraft company. It went through a series of names before settling on its current title in 1953. And while its aerial successes were never quite as famous as Mitsubishi and its Zero, FHI did fly Japan's first jet-powered trainer. The same year, 1958 to be exact, it unveiled the iconic Subaru 360 minicar. While the 360 never quite caught on in the US (at least not with the fervor of the similarly laid-out Volkswagen Beetle), the small, affordable and simple Subie had a wide-ranging appeal across the island of Japan.
The rear-drive, rear-engined 360 was eventually joined by the 1000, Subaru's first front-engine, front-wheel-drive car. More importantly, the 1000 ushered in Subaru's use of a horizontally opposed engine. The Subaru Leone, which arrived in 1971, expanded on the 1000, by offering a combination we're all familiar with nowadays - all-wheel drive with a flat-four engine.
Subaru Impreza Sport Hybrid launches in Japan
Fri, Jun 19 2015Subaru is adding the Impreza Sport Hybrid to its lineup, but it's exclusive to the Japanese market for the moment. The latest Impreza variant is rated at 48 miles per gallon on the Japanese testing cycle, and it joins the XV Crosstrek as the only hybrids in Subaru's lineup. The brand doesn't currently list overall horsepower or torque specs for the new model. However, given that they share a 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine, CVT, all-wheel drive, and battery packs mounted under the rear cargo floor, figures similar to the Crosstrek hybrid's 160 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque seem likely. Subaru's EyeSight system is standard on all models of the hybrid Impreza, and the tech is programmed to work with the adaptive cruise control to eke out the best fuel economy possible while driving. There are also some styling tweaks, including updates to the lower air dam, revised side sills, a roof spoiler, and LED taillights. Don't get too excited about parking an Impreza Sport Hybrid in your garage any time soon, though. Subaru of America's Jessica Tullman told Autoblog, "At this point, there are no plans to bring it here." The model goes on sale in Japan on July 10 with a starting price of the equivalent of about $18,900, before the country's consumption tax. A higher trim S model with an upgraded interior goes for around $19,900. Subaru Launches "Impreza Sport Hybrid" in Japan Tokyo, June 19, 2015 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, will launch an "Impreza Sport Hybrid" on July 10, 2015, through Subaru dealerships in Japan. The new Impreza Sport Hybrid is the second fun-to-drive hybrid from Subaru, following on from the Subaru XV Hybrid launched in 2013. The motor assist function offers smooth, linear acceleration, which is teamed with sharp, sporty handling to bring out the distinctive enjoyment of driving a hybrid model while achieving fuel economy of just 20.4 km/liter (JC08 mode).*1 Designed to make optimum use of the low center of gravity and superior weight balance that characterize Subaru's unique Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) layout, the electric motor and high-voltage batteries of the hybrid version are positioned for superb driveability. The hybrid model further enhances the appeal of the Impreza Sport lineup by embracing Subaru design values to achieve its own sporty, top-quality exterior look and a refined, up-to-the-minute interior style.
