2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx Wagon, Wr Blue, Manual, 'bugeye' on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, New York, United States
|
179k miles and counting, 5-speed manual transmission, never smoked in,
no pets, meticulously maintained w/ records & just completed an
extensive 180k maintenance covering everything from valve cover gaskets
to a complete brake job. It should require no major service until 210k.
This was supposed to be my 'forever' car, so I was maintaining and
modifying very carefully. However, personal reasons force a sale. Clean
title, three keys & two remotes, all manuals in hand.
This car has been my winter trip car and poor-weather daily driver (I commute via motorcycle) for the last several years. Most miles are highway/interstate miles. It has never let me down in any situation and I am committed to performing all maintenance on or before schedule. This WRX has been modded to produce a singular end result: a reliable, practical, and fun-to-drive car for someone who can have just one car. Most mods target suspension, practicality, and longevity. Please see list below. There are some issues that affect most Subarus and some that affect only this model and year. These include head gaskets, wheel bearings, and transmissions. I've done my best to prevent these types of failures through driving choices and maintenance. Subaru 2.0L turbo motors are not as prone to head gasket failures as the N/A 2.5L, but it doesn't hurt to be safe. Used oil analyses (Blackstone) and compression tests (very strong compression) show a very healthy motor with no oil/coolant mixing and I always use Subaru Long-Life Coolant with Subaru Coolant Conditioner. I've recently replaced the passenger rear wheel bearing and the passenger front wheel bearing with hubs & ball-joints from a parted 2007 WRX with less than 10k miles. This wheel bearing should far outlast any aftermarket bearing. This 2002 WRX has the 'BA' transmission, which is stronger than the earlier 'AA' transmissions. Additionally, I never drop the clutch, shift slowly and carefully, use synthetic transmission oil, and have maintained close-to-stock power levels. All open recalls (wagon door stays, fuel lines, control arms) have been performed at Koppel Subaru in Queens, NY. Interior: 8.5/10. Some scuffs in the rear, some usual Subaru rattles, and some wear normal for a 180k mile car. Otherwise, it is very clean. Exterior: 9/10. It's hard to keep a car perfect in NYC, but condition is certainly well above average and the paint still shines. I had the trunk keyhole shaved when someone tried to break the lock cylinder. Mechanical: 9.5/10. Motor is very strong with compression tests showing less than 3% difference between cylinders. UOAs show excellent motor condition. Transmission is in excellent shape, all synchros intact w/ smooth shifts. Suspension in great shape with lots of life left, and the chassis is very solid.

However, for items I am unable to perform, I turn the car over to a Subaru specialist. Payment, Delivery Require $1000 deposit, balance upon local pickup. I am willing to help your carrier ship the car, but payment must clear first. If you have any questions, shoot me a message. |

Subaru WRX Concept hints at big performance, offers few facts
Thu, 28 Mar 2013
We're looking at a design statement only at this point.
Subaru has dropped the curtain on its truly attractive WRX Concept and, as previewed a few days ago, we're fast fans of the wide, low, muscular sedan. The concept car looks great, but there was a distinct lack of information being offered about the next-generation WRX that is sure to follow this concept - we're looking at a design statement only at this point.
Subaru confirms performance concept, XV Crosstrek Hybrid for New York
Wed, 20 Mar 2013Subaru has made quite a name for itself as automaker that caters to the outdoorsy, green-leaning set. Now it's stepping up to the plate for those customers - some might say "finally" stepping up - with its first-ever hybrid vehicle.
The Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid will make its official debut next week at the New York Auto Show. And although there are no details about it just yet, we do have one, typically muddy, picture of the literally and figuratively green car to show.
The XV Crosstrek Hybrid will use a Subaru-developed hybrid system paired to the automaker's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. On the opposite end of the green scale, Subaru will also be showing off an "all-new performance concept car," which we can only hope is our first look at the next-generation WRX, or better still the WRX STI. Here's hoping.
Subaru planning modular platform, seven-seat SUV, plug-in hybrid
Fri, 09 May 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles isn't the only big name in the auto industry releasing details on its future plans. Subaru, and its parent company Fuji Heavy Industries, is aiming to bump its North American sales up from 478,000 to 600,000 by 2020. Now, that seems pretty reasonable, especially in the face of FCA's hugely ambitious goals for Alfa Romeo and Maserati. It's how Subaru will go about increasing the sales, though, that has us intrigued.
A focus on more fuel-efficient, direct-injection engines will complement a new platform, while the company is contemplating expanding capacity at its Indiana factory, which will now have more room since Toyota Camry production will be ending there.
As for that new platform, it's called the Subaru Global Platform. Original, we know. It's a modular deal and will eventually underpin a vast range of future Subies following its debut in 2016. The new platform may also end up underpinning a seven-seat SUV, which would serve as the successor to the Tribeca and debut between 2016 and 2020, according to Automotive News.
