Up for sale is my 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS 2-door coupe. I am the second owner. In the last year, I have had the brakes, clutch, timing belt, water pump, right front axle, spark plugs, and all gaskets replaced. I also had Michelin tires put on the car in the summer of 2011, and after roughly 15,000 miles, they have plenty of tread left. There is a minor rattle and steering wheel shake from about 60-75 mph that a tire tech attributed to fix-a-flat that I had needed to use on two of the tires after I ran over some nails--but he told me that unless I found it to be very bothersome (which I have not), there was no need to replace them, and I've driven several thousand miles with no problems since then. As you will see, I have got New York plates (and clean New York title in hand), but live in Denver, where I moved in August for grad school.

The interior is very clean, with the rare custom leather that you will only find on a handful of RSes. (I do have the 2.5 RS floor mats, as well as all-weather mats, which will be included, but did not make it into the pictures because I was having them cleaned at the time). The exterior is also in nice shape, as you will see from the attached pictures. There are scratches on the left rear bumper, and front bumper, as documented in the pictures. Other than that, there are simply a few minor scratches and dings that would only be spotted if one was looking closely for them, and the original paint has held up very well.

The engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and brakes all work flawlessly. Except for the performance shocks that the previous owner had put on the car, this RS is entirely stock, and I can say with confidence that you will be hard pressed to find another one of these increasingly rare cars in such nice shape. On that note, I recently learned that only 1,500 manual RSes were produced in 1999 (for more info, see cars101.com), and when you consider how many have been destroyed or modified, cars such as this one are rapidly becoming even harder to find. This is reflected in their actual sales prices, which for nice examples, have been considerably higher than KBB listings--and from what I understand, the value of these cars has actually been going up in the last couple years.

This car is a lot of fun to drive, is reliable, and gets very solid gas mileage (usually 27+ mpg per tank)--and with the work that I've recently had performed on it, am confident that it will be good to go for quite awhile. I am sure that both the Subaru enthusiast and someone looking for a fun, safe, reliable car, will be equally happy with its purchase. I am simply selling because I found a deal on a newer car that was too hard to pass up. If you need help with shipping, and you are far outside of the Colorado area, I will be glad to work with whatever company you hire, or to pick you up from Denver International Airport if you want to fly in and drive it home yourself.

Please do note that I will also have the car for sale locally, so reserve the right to end the listing should I find a buyer here. Thanks very much for looking, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

2015 Subaru Legacy prototype caught testing in Michigan

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

The current Subaru Legacy is only three years old, but compared to rival midsize sedans like the Mazda6 and Ford Fusion, which have recently received thorough redesigns, it might as well be a million. In other words, a reworking is in order. Caught in these spy shots, the 2015 Subaru Legacy appears to be about the same size as the current model, but it appears that Subaru is looking to push the sedan a little more upmarket in terms of styling and luxury.
Despite the heavy camouflage, some elements of the new Legacy's design are still visible. The new headlights still have a scalloped shape but are much narrower, and we can also see the deep body creases that run the full length of the sedan. At the rear of the new Legacy, the taillights should get some added depth with a C-shaped brake light design similar to what we saw on the WRX Concept earlier in the year.
Showing that Subaru is aiming a little bit higher for this Legacy, this car is being benchmarked against all-wheel-drive luxury vehicles like the current Infiniti G37 and the Audi Allroad - the latter is likely for comparison with the Legacy's wagon version, the Outback. Following the XV Crosstrek Hybrid, we expect the 2015 Legacy to be the next Subaru product to get a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain, which we hear will be paired with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a CVT and, of course, all-wheel drive.

Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S sales disappointing worldwide?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Okay, folks - it appears we've got a problem. The Toyota GT86, Europe's counterpart to our own beloved Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S coupes, is apparently not selling too well. This, according to Toyota's European Vice President of Research and Development, Gerald Killman, is what's limiting plans for additional variants of the rear-drive coupe.
"A faster version of that car would be at the top of most people's wish lists, but like the cabriolet, it is hard to justify a business case to push either model into production based on the current sales," Killman told AutoExpress. "Personally, I think that engine could use a little bit more," he added.
More troubling is that slow sales aren't limited to the Euro-spec car, with Killman claiming that the GT86 have been missing sales targets in major markets around the globe. It may not be that the US is one of those major markets, though. Scion's Vice President, Doug Murtha, tells Autoblog that his brand is happy with the sales of its version of the GT86, the FR-S. 18,000 units were sold last year, which Murtha says is "generally in line with original expectations for the car."

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
