Purchased used in April 2012 for $21,321.97 with $17,555 miles on it.

I've put all nearly every single one of those 40,000 miles on the car via highway miles for work across North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina. Typically averages 23.5 miles gallon combined. I am technically the 4th owner -- but really only the second owner. The middle two owners were 2 different auto dealerships that just had the car in inventory over a period of 8 months before I purchased. The 1st owner was corporate ownership from a company in Pennsylvania that I actually spoke with before purchasing from a local dealer in North Carolina who had left their registration information in the car. Never had any problems or accidents with the vehicle. They traded the car in on 8/23/11 and I purchased in April of 2012. All of this will be confirmed by a Carfax. The car has a clear title and is smoke-free.

Forester comes loaded with: 4-cyl PZEV 2.5 liter engine, Automatic 4 speed, AWD, hillstart assist, traction control, vehicle dynamic control, ABS (4-wheel), keyless entry (two sets of keys and remotes), air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, power steering tilt wheel, auxiliary audio input/ipod integration, am/fm stereo, single disc CD, dual air bags, side air bags, heated premium cloth seats, panorama roof (extra large sunroof), privacy glass (tined rear windows), daytime running lights, roof rack, premium allow wheels, just put new Cooper CS4 Touring tires on it last year -- approximately 90% tread life remains, large trunk with storage underneath and spare tire.

Mechanically perfect -- no known issues whatsoever. Forester has been serviced every 3500 miles since purchased. There are just a couple of exterior blemishes to note: right rear bumper scuffed a little due to someone slightly scraping me in a parking lot and driving off. Additionally, on the right rear end of the roof rack finish is slightly scraped off in one concentrated area. I was parked at a restaurant near a stop sign and backed up underneath the stop sign in a slightly bone-headed move that allowed one corner of the stop sign to scrape this mark. Sorry about that one.

Otherwise, nothing else to note. Interior is very clean with the sporadic routine nick or scuff. Nothing noticeable.

I'm selling because my second child its on its way and we have too much money tied into car payments that is needed elsewhere. Hate to sell the Sub since I've just had it a couple of years, but other things in life are taking precedence at the moment. My loss is your gain! Local pick-up only. The vehicle is still under finance and my local credit union will have the title waiting on the buyer at pick-up -- so title is essentially in hand. We will meet at the bank and transfer payment and title. I will pass along those directions upon receipt of $500 deposit due at selling. Please read and ask specific questions -- no warranty is expressed or implied.

The art of WRX-ing in the rain

Tue, Jun 13 2017

There it is again, the quiver of the STi's blue rear spoiler. I noticed it yesterday on the Autobahn north of Frankfurt. Although the speed limit was 120 kilometers per hour, I was cruising in sixth gear around 200 kph when the STi's signature rear appendage began to dance in my rear view mirror. Now I'm redlining fifth gear on the front straight of the legendary Nurburgring's north loop and it's back. Only this time the quivering blade is in a deluge of water coming off the Subaru's 18-inch Dunlops. It's a rooster tail worthy of Miss Budweiser and it's a constant and sobering reminder that I'm lapping the 13-mile long Nordschleife in a freezing and unrelenting rain. I'm driving a 2017 German-spec Subaru WRX STi, not the updated 2018 version that'll get revised front end styling, tweaked suspension tuning, larger Brembo brakes and 19-inch wheels and tires. At 240 kph, close to the 2.5-liter boxer four's 6,700 rpm redline, I shift up to sixth gear and change lanes to avoid the standing water on the left side of the track. It's my third lap. I'm getting over-confident. The all-wheel drive WRX STI is dealing well with the tricky conditions and the Ringmeisters of the past that tamed this track since it was first built in 1929 - Ascari, Fangio, Clark, Caracciola, Nuvolari, Rosemeyer, Chiron, and Ickx - are talking to me inside my head. And they're egging me on. Pushing me to go faster. I'm sticking to wet line and staying off the tall curbing that marks most apexes. Bounce the Subi off a curb and I'm sure to star in the next Nurburgring crash video to hit YouTube. I'm also desperately trying to stay off of the new pavement, which dots the circuit and has a coefficient of friction in the wet similar to snot. Then I make a huge mistake on the entrance to Bergwerk, a tight right hand corner that comes up quickly after a long, fast section and the left hand kink that Nicki Lauda got so wrong in the 1976 Grand Prix. The Nordschleife has 160 corners. Most are blind. Many are off camber. All are lined with walls and Armco barriers. Even the straights are kinked and crowned. And there are two very fast downhill compressions and three jumps that max out a car's suspension travel. There's no runoff room. No margin for error. And remembering the course in this weather in just a few laps is impossible, I don't care how much Gran Turismo you've played.

Subaru suing CA dealership for alleged false customer surveys

Sat, Feb 14 2015

Whenever you buy a new car from a dealer these days or sometimes even go in for service, you can expect to fill out a customer satisfaction survey at some point down the road. The responses are actually quite important to showrooms because automakers require the businesses to keep things at a certain level or face penalties. However, a Subaru dealer allegedly found a way to game that system, at least briefly, and now the Subaru of America has filed a lawsuit in US District Court for breach of contract. South Coast Subaru in Costa Mesa, CA, reportedly falsified 224 customer satisfaction questionnaires in 2014, according to Automotive News. The scheme wasn't that hard to figure out, though. All of the faked surveys were allegedly submitted through the IP address of an Acura showroom managed by the same dealer. Under normal circumstances when someone buys a Subaru, the dealer is supposed to collect the customer's email address and submit it to the automaker. However, South Coast allegedly presented false addresses, and then managers had employees fill the forms out during lunch. Subaru claimed in the suit that by doing this the dealer harmed the company's product reputation and its goodwill among customers. "Defendants prevented Subaru from discovering the actual customer satisfaction level of Subaru retail customers at South Coast Subaru by providing sham customer surveys to [Subaru]," the complaint said, according to Automotive News.
