THERE IS A REASON THAT THESE SUBARU "FORESTERS" RARELY COME UP FOR AUCTION ON EBAY.  VERY SIMPLY, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "SPECIAL" VEHICLES THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY BULLET-PROOF, REGULARLY EXCEEDING 400,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WITH LITTLE MORE THAN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND AN OCCASIONAL SET OF TIRES AND BRAKES.


I AM SELLING THIS SUBARU FOR A GOOD FRIEND WHO IS NOT "INTERNET SAVVY".  THE CAR WAS HIS "DAILY DRIVER" AND BECAUSE HE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE, THIS TRUSTY FORESTER BECAME EXPENDABLE.  PRIOR TO HIS PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE IT HAD NEW HEAD GASKETS, NEW WATER PUMP, ETC INSTALLED. IN OTHER WORDS--ALL THE USUAL UPDATES THAT AN OWNER NORMALLY MAKES WHEN THE CAR HITS ABOUT 175,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WERE PERFORMED. 

THIS SUBARU IS VERY CLEAN, HAS NO RUST ISSUES, NO TEARS IN THE UPHOLSTERY, AND NO DENTS OR DEFECTS.  EVEN BETTER, I JUST HAD THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED AT THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALER-- AT A COST OF NEARLY $400.  IT  IS ROLLING ON A NEARLY NEW $600 SET OF ALL-SEASON "COOPER" TIRES.  BUT BEST OF ALL, FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN PARKED EACH AND EVERY DAY AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE ON MY FRIENDS ASPHALT DRIVEWAY  AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN EVEN A SINGLE DROP OF OIL OR ANY KIND OF FLUID UNDER THE CAR!!  

THIS SUBARU IS AN EXCELLENT VALUE, AND AS WITH ALL MY AUCTIONS I NEVER INSULT A POTENTIAL BIDDER'S INTELLIGENCE BY USING A "BUY-IT-NOW" OR SUGGESTING A MINIMUM PRICE.  ALL MY AUCTIONS START AT $.99 CENTS AND END WHEN THE WINNING BIDDER DETERMINES THE FINAL SALE PRICE.

PLEASE NOTE MY 100-PERCENT "FEEDBACK" RATING. LOOK THE PHOTOS OVER CAREFULLY AND CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.  I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND TAKE A TEST DRIVE. I AM LOCATED IN NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT, IN A SMALL "BEDROOM" COMMUNITY OF $400,000 HOMES. YOU CAN FEEL COMPLETELY SAFE EITHER INSPECTING, TEST-DRIVING OR PICKING UP THIS CAR. IN FACT, MY NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR OWNED AN IDENTICAL SUBARU THAT WENT OVER 450,000 MILES--WHICH IS HOW I GOT TURNED ON TO THE EXCEPTIONAL LONGEVITY OF THESE AMAZING VEHICLES!

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Mark Higgins sets new Isle of Man record in Subaru STI

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Subaru has done it again, setting a new four-wheel lap record around the 37.75-mile TT Mountain Course at the Isle of Man. Mark Higgins in a 2015 WRX STI rocketed through the country roads at an average speed of 116.40 miles per hour to circle the track in 19 minutes, 26 seconds, thereby beating his previous record of 19 minutes 56.7 seconds from 2011 in an STI.
According to Subaru, speeds during the lap ranged from as little as 30 mph to over 160 mph. The STI was mostly stock with the only major mechanical change being different springs and dampers to handle the course's famous bumps at such sustained high speeds. For safety, it also had a rollcage, racing harness, and fire suppression system.
"It was quite a lap we did today and I am really happy to have another record in the bank. The chassis of the new car is so much better it really allowed me to pick up time in each sector in the more technical parts of the course," said Higgins about the run in the Subaru.

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.
