2003 Subaru Baja Base Crew Cab Pickup 4-door 2.5l (topper Not Included) on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:215526
Location:

Grosse Pointe, Michigan, United States

Grosse Pointe, Michigan, United States

Vehicle has 215,526 miles on it with engine replacement at approximately 165,000 miles.  The installed motor had 12,000 on it at the time.  The exhaust, including the catalytic converter, was replaced in the spring of '14. All four rotors were turned and new pads installed at approximately 212,000.  Newly installed serpentine belt.  The interior is in good shape, besides some wear and tear that is normal for a 11 year old daily driver.  

Although the vehicle looks bad, I have been driving it daily since damaging the body and it still rides very smooth.  However, the front left axle has been rattling and needs to be addressed shortly.  I cannot recommend driving it on the road until making a few repairs, as the passenger door doesn't fully close and the passenger side rear view mirror was broken off.  I still have the passenger rear view mirror and a couple of the panels that came off.

The body was damaged while two-tracking after colliding with some saplings.  No large trees were hit.  I am not a mechanic or auto body specialist, but it does not seem as if the frame has been damaged in any way.  The damage that I can note is as follows: missing front and rear bumpers, back left corner panel dented with trim missing, some damage to the front left corner panel, back right corner panel dented with trim missing, front right corner panel dented with trim missing, front passenger door badly damaged and will not close, missing R side rear view mirror, front passenger window broken out, some damage to the back right door.  The rest of the car is in pretty good shape.  Please see pictures, and note that the TOPPER IS NOT INCLUDED IN PURCHASE.  You make contact me for more pictures of the interior, exterior, engine bay, etc.  

While I will be parting this vehicle out if it does not sell whole, I believe that it is restorable in the right hands, and worthy of restoring.

Buyer takes on all shipping costs and understands that this is an as-is purchase.  Loaded title in hand as well as release of lien from bank.

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 WRX hatchback mule spotted

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Despite on-again, off-again rumors, this latest set of spy shots seems to indicate that yes, a five-door Subaru WRX is indeed in the works. Subtlety is key with this test mule, but there are clear bits of evidence that indicate a hotter hatchback is what's being developed here.
First, notice the WRX-spec front fascia grafted onto this ordinary-looking Impreza hatch. From there, we can clearly see the tiny bit of added width - most obvious on the roof and at the rear, near the fuel door and taillamps. And of course, let's not forget about that bulge in the hood, consisting of a metal panel that covers the hood scoop and can apparently be removed thanks to a series of screws, according to our spies. The WRX's more robust exhaust and larger wheel/tire package have not been added to this mule, though we're told that this is commonplace for Subaru prototypes - those bits should be added on as the car's development progresses.
We fully expect a WRX hatchback to be, well, just that - mechanically, it should be identical to the sedan brethren, though our spies indicate that Subaru could be testing an updated version of the WRX-spec boxer engine. Of course, there's always a chance that this could be something else entirely, given the on-and-off reports of the five-door 'Rex's existence in the first place...

2015 Subaru WRX looks to set a new benchmark in LA

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Subaru has just taken the wraps off of the new, 2015 WRX at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The totally redesigned sedan - the five-door option won't be offered - is more powerful, more fuel efficient (with the right transmission), better looking and more intelligently designed than the car it's replacing.
A new 2.0-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged flat-four sits thumping away under the hood, its top-mount intercooler getting force-fed air by a rather prominent hood scoop. Power output sits at 268 ponies and 258 pound-feet of torque, accessible between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm. While the new car only has a three-horsepower advantage on the current Impreza WRX, it delivers 14 more pound-feet of torque and delivers peak output across a much wider swath of the rev range (the old car netted 244 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm). All this extra grunt comes at a negligible weight penalty - a 2015 WRX with the six-speed manual is just 59 pounds heavier than a 2014 model.
As we said, a six-speed manual is will be available, and as a bonus, it packs one additional cog over the current, 2014 WRX's five-speed DIY transmission. So equipped, the WRX will scamper to 60 in just 5.4 seconds. As for the previously-confirmed continuously variable transmission, it will come with both six- and eight-speed manual shift modes, but will take half a second longer to get to the magical 60-mile-per-hour mark.
