2001 SUBARU OUTBACK LIMITED WAGON You are looking at an extremely nice Outback Limited. This is probably one of the nicer 2001 models out there. Body and paint are very nice with minimal scratches, no rust, paint is very good, shines very nicely. The only body repair that has been done to my knowledge is replacement of the front bumper cover. The hood has some "crow's feet" in it, so it may have been repainted in the past. Look at the pictures closely, this car has not been used the way many Outbacks are used. The interior is nearly mint for its age. The leather is very nice, still pliable, the door panels and dash are nearly perfect, the carpet and mats are very good. Everything works as it should - sunroof, windows, gauges, stereo, alarm, horn, door locks, inside and outside lights, etc. The wheels are much nicer than you generally see on this generation of Outbacks. Generally corrosion-free, one has some starting under a wheel weight. See pictures. The entire drivetrain is from a 2004 Legacy, and that is the reason for the salvage title. This drivetrain now has 97,718 miles on it. This drivetrain transplant was done because the previous owner hit something in the roadway and punctured the oil pan. The only other damage was to the radiator support and radiator. The radiator came from the donor car and the support was repaired. The engine and transmission both perform exactly as intended. The transmission shifts properly, and the engine uses little if any oil. The tires are HydroEdge Michelins, installed at 94,300 miles. New pads and rotors were recently installed on the front. Rear brakes were good at time of inspection. Front suspension is in top shape, everything is good, boots not cracked or leaking, recently aligned. Here is what needs to be done to the car: The center differential is going bad, causing the typical problems when the wheel is turned all the way left or right, forward or reverse. It binds, it groans, it pops, but anything less than full turns there are no issues. The head gaskets need replacing. Coolant is apparently leaking into the combustion chambers. A trip of approximately 35-40 miles will empty the reservoir. I check often under the hood of my cars, so this was caught well before there was any overheating. This coolant is NOT leaking to the outside of the engine. There is a very small oil leak at the rear of the motor, easily fixed when the head gaskets are done. AC has slow coolant leak. A full charge will last about one season. Please come inspect this car in person before you bid. Please do not bid on the car first, then come look at it and decide you don't want it. This is not how it works. Email me with any questions you have. I will answer them as quickly and honestly as I can. Again, this is an exceptionally nice Outback for its age and is well worth fixing. I don't think you would find a nicer 2001. This car is very impressive in the winter. See my feedback and bid with confidence. Car is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, implied or stated. Because of the coolant leak, operate this car at your own risk. I would suggest towing it home. |

Subaru SVX to be resurrected with hybrid power?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Salt. Get the salt. A new report out of Australia is claiming that Subaru is working on a new SVX. Yes, seriously.
Now, this is not feasible for a pair of huge reasons. First, the demand for a two-door Subaru, as we've seen with the BRZ, has not been tremendous. Second, the original SVX was a pretty horrible seller. Could the world be ready for a revival, though?
According to an unnamed source that spoke to Motoring.com.au, the reborn SVX will be based on the Viziv 2 Concept that was shown at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it will be a considerably more aggressive design, arriving as a low, wide shooting brake. According to the Aussies, the reborn SVX would ride on a new Subaru Global Platform, which will underpin the next-generation Tribeca, because of that platform's support for hybridization.
Climb to the Clouds returning thanks to Subaru title sponsorship [w/video]
Wed, 31 Jul 2013The Mt. Washington Hillclimb, otherwise known as the Climb to the Clouds, hasn't been done since 2011. That year, Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins set a new record for the event first held in 1904, running the 7.6-mile vertiginous course in 6:11.54. The race will be return in 2014 with the help of that very carmaker, Subaru of America having stepped in to the title sponsor role for what will be the Subaru Mt. Washington Hillclimb.
Taking place from June 26-29, 75 modern and vintage cars will spend three days racing up the 6,288-foot-high mountain. It's not as long nor as high as Pikes Peak, but it does have something that the Colorado competition doesn't: gravel; about 13 percent of the Mt. Washington Carriage Road still hasn't been paved.
If you want to know what a record-breaking run up the northeast's highest peak looks like, check out Higgins behind the wheel in the video below.
Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year
Tue, Nov 17 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."
