This is a 1999 Subaru Station Wagon in fair condition. I have owned it since 2003 and there was one prior owner before that. The mileage in the listing is not accurate because the odometer has been working intermittently for the past 6 years. The car runs and drives fine but in the past few months the engine has been running hot. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as bad cylinder heads or head gaskets. He also recommended installing a new timing belt, water pump and thermostat. Since I have put lots of work into the car over the years (including replacing the engine in 2005) I have decided to invest that money into a new vehicle. Perhaps someone more mechanically inclined than I could do the repairs.

Recent work (last 4 years)
  • Replaced tires
  • Replaced radiator and hose
  • Replaced front and rear brake pads and rotors
  • Replaced catalytic converter
  • Automatic transmission change
  • Front differential fluid change
  • Oil Change / Fluids

Other than running hot, the car drives fine. There are a few quirks and other wear-and-tear issues which do not affect the car's basic functionality:

  • Cruise Control does not work.
  • Air Conditioning does not work.
  • Small amount of water leaks into vehicle during heavy rains (through sunroof)
  • Odometer / Speedometer works intermittently and has been for the past 6 years or so (See description above. I would estimate it to have up to 10,000 more miles than the odometer actually reads)
  • Check Engine Light is on and has been on since 2007.
  • Sometimes has trouble starting during cold weather.
  • Some minor scratches and rust spots throughout exterior.
  • Trunk handle is falling off, but still functions
  • Some plastic pieces covering certain parts of exterior are loose or missing (most notably driverside windshield cover...see pictures for detail)
  • Cigarette power outlet does not work.
  • Various stains in interior carpeting (most likely from art supplies, possibly coffee or cola)
  • Radio antenna no longer recedes into car. It can, however, be manually pushed down if need be.

In the years that I have owned this car it has served me well with no major problems aside from the above inconveniences. Accident, smoke and pet free. The tape player and stereo work great and the seats fold down if you need to haul stuff. Spare tire included (never been used). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Subaru revisits 1998 Impreza 22B STI

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It was 1998 when Subaru made some crucial changes to its World Rally Championship Impreza, such as increasing the displacement of the turbocharged flat-four-cylinder engine from 2.0 to 2.2 liters and fitting wide fender flares. Subaru won the WRC manufacturer championship with the car that year, and it also was the year of the automaker's 40th anniversary. To celebrate the milestone, the company came out with this limited-edition, road-going Impreza, the hallowed 22B STI, which looked nearly identical to the rally car.
Only 424 22Bs were built, and most of them stayed in Japan. But Dominick Infante, national manager of product communications at Subaru of America, was able to secure a drive in one of the only two 22Bs in the US. He details the car's history and some of the design and engineering cues that made the Impreza STI so popular both in motorsport and on the street, but we were caught up listening to the exhaust and admiring the timeless blue-and-gold paint. You should too, so head below to watch the video.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

Subaru unveils catchily named WRX STI tS Type RA in Japan

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

We feel safe in saying it's time for Subaru to step away from the keyboard for a spell. The company just unveiled this new WRX STI tS Type RA in Japan, and while the car features all sorts of tricks to help it stand out from the rest of the WRX rabble, it also boasts a name that looks like the product of a good old fashioned QWERTY Hulk smash. Nomenclature aside, this WRX STI features a revised suspension with tweaked springs and dampers as well as a faster steering ratio, Brembo brakes and a front strut tower brace.
JDM buyers can pick between the ever-sexy (if loud) Tangerine Orange Pearl paint seen here, Satin White Pearl or Blue Mica. There's also available NBR Challenge Package, complete with a set of Recaro front seats, a few carbon fiber aero bits and 18-inch BBS forged wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE070 rubber. How's that for delicious?
Subaru is only planning to crank out 300 WRX STI tS Type RA units, two-thirds of which will carry the NBR goodies.
