For sale is a 2003 Subaru Forester with 209,000+ Miles sold as is. The vehicle runs and has not been in any accidents and has a clean title. The vehicle does need some work, nothing major though. The vehicle was for college and now that I've graduated it is time to sell. The car would work for someone who wants a project car, a first car for a new driver, or a vehicle for work where you don't care if it gets beat up. The car has some rust spots as it has spent its whole life in northern Michigan. Warranty work was done on it to get the control arm assembly replaced in the two front wheel. The starter was replaced a couple months ago, and the wheel bearings and breaks last year.
The original cargo cover is in good shape, the spare tire is a real tire not a 'donut', the original scissor jack broke fixing a friends car so I got a hydraulic jack in the back. The seats are in good condition as the front two seats have had seat covers on them since the original owner bought them and gave them to me.
Odd and ends notes: The car needs some work and is why it is selling on the low end. With some minor work it would be a good little car. The car is in need of a good vacuuming and dusting, it was a temporary work vehicle for me when I first moved into the area. The car uses oil on long road trips as expected on an older vehicle with that many miles. The rear view mirror use to be auto-dimming; however, it has lost the effect over time. The breaks and tires can last until the winter time. This vehicle is a good buy if you want something to drive into the ground; or for a first time driver. If they get in a fender bender or back into a light pole your not out thousands of dollars.
The work that needs to be done is as follows (Not everything needs to be done, and is up to you on how much you want to fix it up):
- New windshield - It took a hit from a large rock on the interstate a few weeks ago.
- New Battery - The car battery is starting to go and does not have the cold cranking amps for the Michigan winters
- New gas cap - The original gas cap was lost and the replacement does not form a tight seal, so the check engine light comes on. The local mechanic said the error code was for a loose gas cap. Error code P0455
- Airbag light - The air bag light comes on and off. No clue why.
- Air vent - One air vent's directional flow knob is broken. Blows air and everything, but is always in one direction.
- Wind Noise - The seal around the driver/passenger door window is starting to go. At high speeds of travel you can hear the wind. I would recommend replacing the foam strip around the window or turning up the radio.

Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you
Wed, 14 Nov 2012Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.
Subaru gunning for 500,000 US sales by 2015
Fri, 20 Sep 2013For the last four years in a row, Subaru has experienced incredible sales growth including record sales of 336,441 units in 2012. This trend is all but guaranteed to continue this year with 281,652 on the books so far, but Automotive News is reporting the automaker has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
The report says that Subaru is gunning for around 500,000 sales in the US by 2015, which doesn't seem like too far of a stretch considering 2013 sales totals are expected to top 400,000 units. Through August, Subaru's sales are up 29.3 percent compared to 2012, thanks to popular models like the Forester, Outback and, surprisingly, the WRX.
A new WRX is headed for an LA Auto Show reveal while an all-new Legacy is due out next year, and AN adds that Subaru is planning to significantly increase its media spending next year and start production of the Impreza sedan in the US in 2016.
Climb to the Clouds returning thanks to Subaru title sponsorship [w/video]
Wed, 31 Jul 2013The Mt. Washington Hillclimb, otherwise known as the Climb to the Clouds, hasn't been done since 2011. That year, Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins set a new record for the event first held in 1904, running the 7.6-mile vertiginous course in 6:11.54. The race will be return in 2014 with the help of that very carmaker, Subaru of America having stepped in to the title sponsor role for what will be the Subaru Mt. Washington Hillclimb.
Taking place from June 26-29, 75 modern and vintage cars will spend three days racing up the 6,288-foot-high mountain. It's not as long nor as high as Pikes Peak, but it does have something that the Colorado competition doesn't: gravel; about 13 percent of the Mt. Washington Carriage Road still hasn't been paved.
If you want to know what a record-breaking run up the northeast's highest peak looks like, check out Higgins behind the wheel in the video below.
