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.

2014 Subaru WRX and STI pricing announced

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

As the sun prepares to set on the third-generation Subaru WRX, Subaru has released the pricing for the 2014 WRX and WRX STI. With redesigned versions of both cars due out next year, prices for the current car have risen by just $200 across the entire 2014 lineup resulting in new starting MSRPs of $25,995 for the WRX and $34,495 for the more powerful WRX STI (*not including destination).
The destination charge has also crept up for the 2014 WRX and WRX STI models climbing slightly from $770 to $795. A final pricing adjustment for this bodystyle's send-off year is that the optional navigation system went from $1,000 in 2013 up to $1,100 for 2014. Scroll down for the full model pricing breakdown, and keep a lookout for the all-new 2015 WRX and WRX STI, which we'd expect to see in production form in the coming months.
*Note: WRX STI (above) and WRX (below) are pictured here in the 2013 Special Edition trim.

Subaru Viziv GT gears up for Vision Gran Turismo action [w/video]

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Ever wonder what it would look like if Subaru made a big brother to the BRZ, maybe to take on the Nissan GT-R or Japan's Super GT series? (Well, the BRZ already competes in the GT300 class, but we're talking about the GT500 major leagues here.) Wonder no more, car fans, because it'd probably look something like this. Only it's not a road car, and it's not a racecar. It's the latest addition to the growing roster of Vision Gran Turismo concepts for GT6.
Borrowing on the design theme put forth by the Viziv concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and the Viziv 2 concept showcased the following year, the Viziv GT Vision Gran Turismo is envisioned as a racing machine. Its hypothetical hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter boxer four, turbocharged and direct-injected, to a trio of high-output electric motors to deliver a claimed 591 horsepower and 593 pound-feet of torque.
Carbon fiber construction helps offset the weight of the motors and batteries to keep the hybrid racing shooting brake down to a theoretical 3,000 pounds, with competition-spec aero to keep it glued to the track. Gamers will be able to download it directly in the game as part of the latest update, but you can scope it out right here in the image gallery above and the video and press release below.
