This has been a great family car, and hockey transport vehicle.  About 25,000 miles per year, the Pacifica Blue Pearl is a beautiful paint color on the exterior, with a fine buff will shine like new!  There are certainly a few chips due to the age, and mileage.  AWD is amazing in the Winter no matter how much snow, no problem.  

This is a solid car, but with 235,000 miles it has a bit of season as well.  We have had the car serviced by our personal mechanic the entire time we've owned the Sub. 

Some of the new add ons:

  • New Radiator
  • Brakes, pads, rotors
  • Aluminum Rims, tires
  • Synthetic Oil changed every 4-5000 miles Jiffy Lube

Some of the things to be aware of:

  • The a/c and heat has 2 controls that just spin, there are control cables we just never ordered to do the maybe 1 hour fix.  We have the diagram. @ $50 for the cables.  We rarely use A/C, typically we drive with windows open so not sure if a/c does or doesn't go, heat cranks.
  • Slight hesitation sometimes when flooring it, but it's been that way for 50,000 miles for us.
  • Oil rarely leaks we burn, go through maybe 1 quart of oil per oil change, but with age normal
  • Antifreeze we periodically do add this to the Sub, we've been told we can change some gaskets, or just keep an eye on the level, and add when needed.  We opted to simply add fluid!
  • Classic One of a Kind Hockey Stick Grill, if you're not a hockey fan, great, we get more compliments on this than you can believe.  If you're not a hockey person, great, a new grill is about $80.  One night we guess the original grill just flew off, or someone took it, and we've replaced with the sticks.

We're offering NO RESERVE AUCTION, $500 deposit upon completion of bidding, and we can ship to any location for a nominal fee.  If for any reason you are unsure, simply don't bid, as the car is being sold as is.  If you'd like to drive before bidding absolutely great, just let us know we're in the Northeast Suburbs of Chicago.

 

Thanks for viewing.  The Baron of Marketing.....

Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX

Sat, 14 Sep 2013

Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.

2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek gets more infotainment, safety tech

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

A couple of months ago, Subaru rolled out a series of minor enhancements for the Impreza, and now it's performed a similar upgrade to its more rugged counterpart, the XV Crosstrek. For 2015, the XV benefits from available EyeSight driver assistance suite, steering-responsive fog lights and a new 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with a seven-inch version on higher-spec models).
Otherwise the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek Hybrid are essentially the same as the 2014 models they replace. The requisite 2.0-liter boxer four drives to all four wheels as always, with or without hybrid assist, through either a five-speed manual or continuously variable transmission. Look for the updated model to reach dealers this December, and in the meantime, feel free to peruse the press release below.
