2003 Subaru Baja Base Crew Cab Pickup 4-door 2.5l (topper Not Included) on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:215526
Location:

Grosse Pointe, Michigan, United States

Grosse Pointe, Michigan, United States

Vehicle has 215,526 miles on it with engine replacement at approximately 165,000 miles.  The installed motor had 12,000 on it at the time.  The exhaust, including the catalytic converter, was replaced in the spring of '14. All four rotors were turned and new pads installed at approximately 212,000.  Newly installed serpentine belt.  The interior is in good shape, besides some wear and tear that is normal for a 11 year old daily driver.  

Although the vehicle looks bad, I have been driving it daily since damaging the body and it still rides very smooth.  However, the front left axle has been rattling and needs to be addressed shortly.  I cannot recommend driving it on the road until making a few repairs, as the passenger door doesn't fully close and the passenger side rear view mirror was broken off.  I still have the passenger rear view mirror and a couple of the panels that came off.

The body was damaged while two-tracking after colliding with some saplings.  No large trees were hit.  I am not a mechanic or auto body specialist, but it does not seem as if the frame has been damaged in any way.  The damage that I can note is as follows: missing front and rear bumpers, back left corner panel dented with trim missing, some damage to the front left corner panel, back right corner panel dented with trim missing, front right corner panel dented with trim missing, front passenger door badly damaged and will not close, missing R side rear view mirror, front passenger window broken out, some damage to the back right door.  The rest of the car is in pretty good shape.  Please see pictures, and note that the TOPPER IS NOT INCLUDED IN PURCHASE.  You make contact me for more pictures of the interior, exterior, engine bay, etc.  

While I will be parting this vehicle out if it does not sell whole, I believe that it is restorable in the right hands, and worthy of restoring.

Buyer takes on all shipping costs and understands that this is an as-is purchase.  Loaded title in hand as well as release of lien from bank.

2014 Subaru Forester XT

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Hitting The Mainstream Sweet Spot
The Forester does quite a bit of heavy lifting for Subaru. What was once a plucky little all-wheel-drive utility box has matured into a competitive crossover that accounts for a quarter of the company's total sales in the US. With those numbers continuing to swell even in the third generation's twilight hours, engineers and designers found themselves in the unenviable position of being asked to fix what ain't broke. Rather than reinvent the company's workhorse from the ground up, as we say in our first look at the CUV, Subaru honed the Forester to offer better fuel efficiency, more usable space and a more refined drive.
In doing so, the automaker hopes to toe that delicate line between luring in new devotees to the cult of Pleiades and keeping the brand's longtime fans smiling. While the fourth-generation Forester may have lost some of its trademark pluckiness in the pursuit of a more mainstream existence, there's no denying this is a more sorted vehicle than its predecessors. Make no mistake, the 2014 Forester is keen to carve out a larger chunk of the ever-plumping CUV market for itself, and for the first time in its history, it has the muscle to do so.

2015 Subaru Outback wading into NY show fray

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

The current-generation Subaru Outback was never going to win any beauty contests with its blend of rugged SUV looks and station wagon design. Still, it's found lots of fans - even five years after its launch, the Outback was Subaru's second-highest selling model in 2013. With the reveal of the next-generation 2015 Legacy at the Chicago Auto Show, it should be no surprise that Car and Driver says Subaru will reveal the next Outback at the New York Auto Show in April.
If previous generations are any indication, the next Outback will likely borrow liberally from the new Legacy, including its platform and engines. In addition to its five-door, station wagon design, the Outback will almost assuredly feature added body cladding and a higher ride height than the Legacy. Subaru's big push with the new Legacy will be to improve interior quality and comfort with liquid-filled engine mounts, an acoustic glass windshield, increased sound deadening, new infotainment systems and new safety tech. All of these will probably appear in the Outback as well.
After its rumored New York reveal, the 2015 Outback is expected to go on sale around the same time as the new Legacy in the summer of 2014.

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept leaves us feeling flushed

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

When last we checked in on our topless would-be hero, the Toyota FT-86 convertible had been reportedly placed on "indefinite hold." That was back in early October, not long after Toyota had trotted out the rear-wheel-drive canvasback to Scion dealers as a possible future product carrot if they decided not to turn in their franchises. And yet, we're here at the Tokyo Motor Show, where Toyota has taken the time to at least repaint the FT-86 Open Concept in "Flash Red," if not build a whole other car (the original Geneva showcar was white). It's enough to make our heads spin like a teenager on the verge of a breakup. Will they? Won't they?
At this point, we still don't know any more than you do - the last word we heard out of Toyota was not encouraging, although the story was that the program could still be fast-tracked if management had a change of heart. As the car has never been seen before in Japan, perhaps Toyota is merely extending its domestic audience a courtesy view before it lines this showcar in mothballs, or maybe they're still trying to make a decision on its fate and gauging public reaction on the homefront.
Interestingly, in a new story published today, Automotive News quotes Subaru brand boss Yasuyuki Yoshinaga downplaying the likelihood of a production model, saying flatly "We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen." The executive went on to note, "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change." Given that such a car would probably trade in rather small volumes, that sounds like a significant hurtle.
