2008 Subaru Outback with 69,950 miles on it.

Impeccable maintenance record. What does impeccable mean? Records include every preventative maintenance receipt (think proof of oil changes every 3,300 miles and every tire rotation since putting new ones on at 48,000 miles) in addition to repairs made to car after two minor collisions (both of which are disclosed in the CarFax as minor, email me to get a copy). Recently detailed bumper to bumper. Unused Uhaul trailer hitch included. Yakima rack included with 2 bike mounts -- all components have locks with keys. Speaking of keys: 3 keys are included with purchase (2 keyless entry, 1 valet key). DC Title is in hand. Properly maintained at Georgetown Shell over the last year or so, Yelp it.

I never used this care to commute in the city. It is safe to say that 90% of the miles on it were traveled on the highway. I traveled a ton, and the car would really just sit in my driveway, unless I was heading north to see family.

This is a non-smoking car. No ifs ands or butts.

8/19/14: I just posted a new photo, which is a copy of another photo that shows the front of the car. In the original (zoomed out) there is a scratch that I just found which looks like a reflection from the car's paint, but as the second photo (zoomed in) show it is actually a scratch to the right of the front tags. I am lowering the buy it now price because of this late discovery.

Tires: Michelin MVX4 installed at 48,000 miles. All tires filled with Nitrogen from Costco Tire Center on a bi-weekly basis.

Contact for test drives -- which will be limited to around the block with valid drivers license.

9/02/2014 - unpaid item case opened. re-listed, with lower buy it now price.

Toyota 86 most likely to get more power through more displacement? [w/poll]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

The Sydney Morning Herald has spoken to Tetsuya Tada, chief engineer of the Toyota 86 (our version of it, the Scion FR-S, is pictured above), and they've been promised that more power is on the way. We've heard a lot of speculation about a more powerful Toyobaru since before the standard model was even launched. The only question now is how the power will be delivered, and among the engine concepts we've already heard about - turbo, supercharger, twin-charged, hybrid - is a new one: more displacement.
Tada said that an engine with more displacement than the current coupe's 2.0 liters is being tested alongside a turbocharged and a hybrid-assisted motor. The SMH cites "inside sources" as saying the displacement option is the one likely to get the go-ahead, and suggests increased bore and stroke will see the engine grow to 2.5 liters, horsepower to about 250 - a 50-hp increase over the present car.
While that's apparently the betting man's solution for the long-awaited increase in gumption, what happens with the next generation could be more wide open than we suspected. According to the report, Tada "hinted that [a successor] could be a radically different car, potentially dropping the boxer engine altogether." He said once they've sorted out the concept for the second generation car, then they'll sort out an engine. That's where a turbo option could come to market, perhaps the turbocharged four-cylinder Toyota is developing for the Lexus NX crossover or a hybrid system that uses a capacitor.

Subaru builds 3 millionth car in America

Mon, Aug 1 2016

Subaru announced August 1 that its Indiana factory completed the 3 millionth American-built Subaru, a Lapis Blue Pearl Outback. The company reached the milestone July 28. Subaru has been building cars at its factory in Lafayette, IN, since 1989. The factory opened as a joint venture with Isuzu, but Subaru eventually took full ownership. Subaru first built North American Legacy sedans and wagons at the factory, followed by the Outback, Baja, and Tribeca. Subaru plans to upgrade the Indiana facility to handle increased demand. The company will double capacity from 218,000 units to 436,000 by March 2019. Subaru will add Impreza production toward the end of the year, and begin production of a three-row crossover in 2018.

Don't expect an all-new Subaru WRX until 2020

Wed, Dec 28 2016

Despite Subaru completely overhauling the Impreza for 2017, it appears the WRX will stick around on its current platform for another few years. That's the word from Motoring in Australia, who spoke with an senior engineer from Subaru about a WRX replacement. For those that can't wait, the good news is that a WRX refresh is coming for 2018, which should carry the car for another few years. It should be no surprise that a full WRX redesign is a few years off. Although the fourth generation Impreza was released in 2011, the current WRX has only been on sale since the 2015 model year. Given an average five-year cycle, we can most likely expect a redesign for 2020. It's not clear how extensive the refresh will be or if the STI will finally drop the ancient EJ-series 2.5-liter turbocharged flat four engine for the more modern FA-series 2.0-liter turbocharged flat four engine found in the regular WRX. Rumors have been swirling for years of what else a full-redesign may encompass. The current model was rumored to have an electric turbocharger that obviously never appeared. There have been other rumors of a switch to a hybrid powertrain. While that may work when the WRX finally uses the updated Impreza platform, don't expect to see hybrid power in the refreshed model. Subaru says the time it would take to engineer such a system would be too great to have it available for 2018. The new Impreza's platform is designed to fit a hybrid system, so don't rule out the possibility of a WRX hybrid.
