2004 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sedan - 2 Adult Owners - Never Seen Snow! on 2040-cars

I’m selling my super clean and extremely well cared for 2004 WRX.  I changed jobs Jan 1^st and for the first time in 3 years now have to deal with a traffic-filled commute.  I just bought my first automatic and am selling the WRX… in 12 years I’ve never owned an automatic; hopefully I don’t end up regretting it.

2004 Subaru WRX Sedan 5MT

Platinum Silver Metallic

125,xxx miles

2 total owners

If you’re in the market for a “blobeye” WRX that is fun to drive but also reliable enough to count on day in and day out, then this is it.  This car has never lived up north and hasn’t seen anything more than a light dusting of snow and has never once been exposed to salt of any kind.  I am only the second owner of the car and have had it the past 6 years; I know it forwards and backwards.   When I first got the car, it wasn’t in as good of mechanical shape as I had thought.  It ended up being a blessing in disguise thanks to Subaru and their SAS Gold warranty; the car is in better shape today than it was when I purchased it back in January of 2008.  When I originally purchased it in Atalnta, GA I had thought I was getting transferred to Denver but instead I was relocated to Los Angeles for 1 year and then have been in Dallas the last 5 years.  The car has never seen snow and other than the couple of small dents (2 on hood and 1 on front right fender) is in great shape.  Since I’ve owned it, the car has always been garaged.

Back in 2008, the engine seized up on me within a few months of owning the car and Subaru replaced the entire short block and turbo at 71,xxx.  Subaru also replaced the synchros in 3^rd and 4^th.  At the time, the heads were still in spec so those didn’t get replaced.  I had the heads completely re-machined and rebuilt at 92,xxx.  I also replaced every engine seal as well as all of the head studs.  I haven’t had any mechanical issues since and the car is never tracked, auto-x’d or raced… just a plain old daily driver that gets me around DFW.  They only time the revs ever see > 4K is the occasional highway onramp but that is rare.  After the engine seized at 71k on Mobil1, I started using Castrol Syntec (full synthetic) and change the oil every 3,500-4k.  All the major suspension upgrades were done within the last 5,000 miles. I also have a full maintenance log that details everything that has been done to the car.  The last compression test was on 4/26/13 and was 150psi across all cylinders.
