This Subie was my daily driver until I got a new car. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION, car must go, I have too many. High bidder gets it. Runs and is drivable and the A/C is ice cold but needs some things done. Fine to be driven home locally but don't plan on driving it thousands of miles.
1. Needs the driver side head changed. I did the passenger side about 10,000 miles ago and it was good for a while. I pulled the motor and did head gaskets, water pump, timing belt, and so on when I first bought the car. Put it all back together and found out that there was a problem with the valves on the passenger side causing misfire code in number one cylinder so I replaced the head on that side, that cleared up the code. It's now starting to use about a quart every 1000 miles so I suspect it's time to replace the other head. The good news is that I have the complete driver side head that goes with the car. I just didn't get to installing it.
2. Windshield is cracked on passenger side but passed inspection last year.
3. Has evap control system malfunction code. Probably needs the fuel filler neck replaced. Not a big deal.
4. Will need front wheel bearings, driver side first. I have a brand new hub, bearing and seals that I bought but never got to install. Parts go with the car.
Tires are about 80% snow tires. I used to run summer and winter tires on the car but I'm keeping my summer set for my trailer. I put the stock factory radio back in, has a tape player but not sure if it works or not. I put the Subaru wiring harness adapter in the glove box so the new owner has it when he/she puts a good radio in. I have the drip catcher from under the engine, a few front end parts, and evap control parts in a box, the good driver side head, and new hub, bearing and seals in the back that all goes with the car. I was getting 24-25 highway with it. GREAT IN THE SNOW!!!
I can't really think of anything else. Once the 4 issues above are addressed, the car will be good for many more miles I think. Would be a good car to fix up for a college student or teen driver. Fix it the rest of the summer and it will be ready for when school starts. They are VERY easy to work on. I can have the motor out in an hour or two. The starting bid is VERY LOW compared to what the car is worth and NO RESERVE because I need the car to sell. High bidder gets it. Payment in cash, NO PAYPAL. Must be picked up locally, I will not ship the car.
Ask any questions you may have and please don't bid if you don't have the money to pay for it. I have had a very good experience on e-bay over the years and 100% positive feedback reflects that.

Subaru recalls new Forester over pedal entrapment fears
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Pedal entrapment and unintended acceleration are hot-button topics these days, so automakers are always staying alert for potential problems. For Subaru and its newly introduced 2014 Forester, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall due to improperly manufactured floor mats that could become an obstruction for the gas, brake or clutch pedals. The good news, of course, is that even if drivers experience this problem, the 2014 Forester comes standard with brake override.
At issue with the floor mats on 10,137 Forester models built between January and March of this year is that the resin material used on the underside of the mats can curl when exposed to heat. If the leading edge of the driver's mat curls enough, it can come in contact with the pedals making acceleration, braking and shifting more difficult - possibly resulting in a crash. To fix the problem, Subaru is replacing the entire set of floor mats in all of the affected units. The official NHTSA recall notice is posted below.
Subaru might build WRX hatchback after all
Fri, 04 Apr 2014The 2015 Subaru WRX is awesome. Really awesome. We told you as much in our first drive of the new sedan back in December. Honestly, our only complaint about Fuji Heavy's new performance machine is that it's no longer offered as a hatchback - the new WRX is a sedan-only affair, despite the more functional five-door variant accounting for some 50 percent of sales in the car's last generation.
But there's hope on the horizon, if a report from Australia's Motoring.com is to be believed. Speaking with Masuo Takatsu, Subaru's general manager for the WRX, the company is now re-considering putting the "hatch" back in its hot hatch.
"We have received strong interest from the US, where the hatchback was 50 percent (of previous-generation WRX sales), so we're now considering," Takatsu told Motoring, noting that the United States is Subaru's main target for this car. Additionally, Takatsu said the company's decision to only offer the sedan was the result of limited engineering resources, echoing statements we've previously heard from Subaru's US arm.
Nissan exec Andy Palmer derides Toyobaru coupes as 'midlife crisis' cars
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Andy Palmer, Nissan's executive vice president, does not like the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. To us, that's like saying you enjoy barbecuing puppies, but we'll let him slide, because his statements about the Toyobaru twins are much, much more than just idle trash talk.
Speaking to Motor Trend's Nate Martinez, Palmer said, "Do we have any competitors [in the small, rear-drive coupe segment]? Are you talking about the Subaru [BRZ]? It was a car designed for a 50-year-old. It's for a midlife crisis. That's not what we do." Strong words, but what followed was even better.
"Are you coming to the Tokyo Motor Show? You'll see the answer to the midlife crisis. Except it won't be for the midlife crisis." So, if you were wondering whether Nissan is working on a competitor to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the answer seems to be a resounding "yes."
