The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car has been on a mail route and is a 1996 used vehicle. It is in fair to good shape considering this vehicle. But this is because we do take care of the vehicle so it can help to comfortably deliver the mail or newspaper."

NO Reserve, beyond opening price, of course. You will see an honest description below. It may keep some from buying the car, but, I have 100% feedback for a reason.

The car has been very reliable but is in need of some attention to replace a front left CV shaft that is clicking, the AWD doesn't always engage. The air and heat work as they should, power windows and door locks, Rear defrost, all work. The washer jug leaks.  A sensor will not allow it to be "floored" and will bog down. If you just accelarate normally, it is fine. The speedometer and odometer have not moved for some time so the mileage is not accurate. This is a great car to deliver mail or to deliver newspapers so you can safely drive without the twisting on a LHD car. We have owned this Subaru for over 7 years. My wife is a RCA and uses it on Saturday and fill-in on vacation days for the local rural route. It has been on the route every day for the last month. It is also used as a daily driver and is a blast for all of the puzzled looks from passing drivers. We no longer need this car, found an incredible RHD Subaru and would love to see this go to someone that can fix the small issues and enjoy a good reliable car to deliver mail.

Located in Indiana and is for sale locally. I will end the auction early if sold locally.

Please ask any questions. I will quickly respond to any questions.

BTW: Subaru's SHARC won the 2012 Design Challenge

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

Part of the festivities that encompass the LA Auto Show is the annual LA Design Challenge. This year's winner was the Subaru Highway Automated Response Concept, or SHARC. It envisioned automated, zero-emission highway patrolling.
The 2012 edition of the challenge was to envision the future of highway patrol in the year 2025. The goal was to conceptualize a vehicle that would account for the needs of "dynamic urban environments." In addition to Subaru's participation in the contest BMW, General Motors, Honda and Mercedes-Benz, all took part in the challenge.
The SHARC is essentially a law enforcement land-drone. It is entirely automated and runs on renewable energy. Subaru envisioned a future where the Hawaiian Islands are connected to each other by a large highway system. Such an expansive area would require considerable manpower to patrol. The concept of an autonomous patrol vehicle would eliminate the need for a good number of full-time personnel.

Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S sales disappointing worldwide?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Okay, folks - it appears we've got a problem. The Toyota GT86, Europe's counterpart to our own beloved Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S coupes, is apparently not selling too well. This, according to Toyota's European Vice President of Research and Development, Gerald Killman, is what's limiting plans for additional variants of the rear-drive coupe.
"A faster version of that car would be at the top of most people's wish lists, but like the cabriolet, it is hard to justify a business case to push either model into production based on the current sales," Killman told AutoExpress. "Personally, I think that engine could use a little bit more," he added.
More troubling is that slow sales aren't limited to the Euro-spec car, with Killman claiming that the GT86 have been missing sales targets in major markets around the globe. It may not be that the US is one of those major markets, though. Scion's Vice President, Doug Murtha, tells Autoblog that his brand is happy with the sales of its version of the GT86, the FR-S. 18,000 units were sold last year, which Murtha says is "generally in line with original expectations for the car."

2014 Subaru BRZ gets exceedingly modest price increase

Sun, 25 Aug 2013

Subaru has announced pricing for the 2014 BRZ, and with a $25,595 MSRP, it starts at just $100 more than the 2013 model. The destination charge adds $795 - a $25 increase over 2013 - bringing the total to $26,390.
Aside from the very modest price increase, the 2014 BRZ is essentially the same as its 2013 predecessor. The one notable change for 2014 is that Aha infotainment smartphone integration now comes with the standard navigation system. Subaru is one of the first automakers to include this feature, which delivers smartphone activity such as live news, podcasts and social media news feeds to drivers through the radio.
The rear-wheel-drive BRZ's other features remain the same, and we certainly don't have any complaints about that. It still comes with a 200-horsepower boxer engine, manufacturer-estimated fuel economy of 34 miles per gallon on the highway, 2+2 seating, and options such as dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats.
