Black Subaru Legacy Gt Sedan Awd 5 Speed Manual Limited Heated Leather Loaded Il on 2040-cars

Year:2005 Mileage:168000
Location:

United States

United States

I would rate this car as average to good.  I drive this car daily so miles on it will go up slightly.   It has been a great car, good on gas and dependable.  Currently has snow tires on it with gold aftermarket rims.  And a set of summer tires and rims will come with it.  

Needs ac belt and possibly pulley/compressor.
Check engine light for an intermittent misfire(probably a coil or injector).  
Has paint chips especially on the hood and a chip in the windshield (hasn't changed in 5 years) and a couple of small dents (hail).
Will need a timing belt at 190k,  Should get new spark plugs sooner than later.  
Some wear on the interior, worst at the driver's door where I rested my elbow.  No rips in the leather.

I have an aftermarket uppipe and downpipe with a tune done.  This give a bit more power but increased fuel economy.

Subaru reliability and AWD/grip, manual transmission with turbo engine that has been babied (I rarely ever go above 3500-4000 rpm).  Interior in great shape for the miles,shows just a few wear spots, newer brake pads and rotors, new throttle position sensor, reliable and good gas mileage (approx. 24-26 mpg).  

Only 2 owners and no accidents/clean title.

Subaru Indiana plant to stop building Toyota Camry

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Subaru may be set to end production of the Toyota Camry at its Lafayette, IN facility by 2017, according to a report from the Louisville Journal-Courier and a CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. Speaking to the plant's Executive Vice President Tom Easterday, the whole affair sounds like a done deal.
"Based on changes in Toyota's production plans, they have decided that the award-winning Camry production contract will not be renewed," Easterday said. Easterday was quick to emphasize that just because Camry production would end, doesn't mean jobs will be lost. "There will be no loss of jobs at SIA as a result of this," he said, before adding that the loss of Camry production will have no impact Subaru's $400 million investment to ready the plant for Impreza production in 2016. That said, adding a promised 900 jobs may take longer than originally planned, as Camry production staff are set to be retrained on Subaru production.
SIA currently has the capacity to produce 100,000 Camrys per year, and began production of the family sedan in 2007 alongside production of the Subaru Outback, Legacy and eventually, the soon-to-be-discontinued Tribeca.

Drive looks at a pair of STI-ified Subaru Impreza RS Coupes

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Among tuners, the legions of Subaru fans are hard to top, displaying all the fanaticism of English soccer fans and a dedication to their vehicles that borders on obsessive. These are compliments, by the way. In the latest video from Drive, Matt Farah takes a look at a pair of very special Imprezas - early Impreza 2.5RS Coupes that have had some serious heart transplants.
The first, a traditional blue model, sports the 2.5-liter, turbocharged flat-four from the 2004 WRX STI, which is good for around 300 horsepower. The other Impreza is a bit more hardcore - the engine is a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the JDM WRX STI, which we suppose makes it more of an Impreza 2.0RS Coupe. Besides the different engines, both cars represent the unique ideas and style of their owners.
The 10-minute video explores this, digging into why people tune, and how it's a reflection of their own personal driving style and character. Take a look below for another fun vid from the team at Drive.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
