This is a 1999 Subaru Station Wagon in fair condition. I have owned it since 2003 and there was one prior owner before that. The mileage in the listing is not accurate because the odometer has been working intermittently for the past 6 years. The car runs and drives fine but in the past few months the engine has been running hot. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as bad cylinder heads or head gaskets. He also recommended installing a new timing belt, water pump and thermostat. Since I have put lots of work into the car over the years (including replacing the engine in 2005) I have decided to invest that money into a new vehicle. Perhaps someone more mechanically inclined than I could do the repairs.

Recent work (last 4 years)
  • Replaced tires
  • Replaced radiator and hose
  • Replaced front and rear brake pads and rotors
  • Replaced catalytic converter
  • Automatic transmission change
  • Front differential fluid change
  • Oil Change / Fluids

Other than running hot, the car drives fine. There are a few quirks and other wear-and-tear issues which do not affect the car's basic functionality:

  • Cruise Control does not work.
  • Air Conditioning does not work.
  • Small amount of water leaks into vehicle during heavy rains (through sunroof)
  • Odometer / Speedometer works intermittently and has been for the past 6 years or so (See description above. I would estimate it to have up to 10,000 more miles than the odometer actually reads)
  • Check Engine Light is on and has been on since 2007.
  • Sometimes has trouble starting during cold weather.
  • Some minor scratches and rust spots throughout exterior.
  • Trunk handle is falling off, but still functions
  • Some plastic pieces covering certain parts of exterior are loose or missing (most notably driverside windshield cover...see pictures for detail)
  • Cigarette power outlet does not work.
  • Various stains in interior carpeting (most likely from art supplies, possibly coffee or cola)
  • Radio antenna no longer recedes into car. It can, however, be manually pushed down if need be.

In the years that I have owned this car it has served me well with no major problems aside from the above inconveniences. Accident, smoke and pet free. The tape player and stereo work great and the seats fold down if you need to haul stuff. Spare tire included (never been used). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Subaru updates EyeSight system with color-detecting cameras

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

Subaru is giving its EyeSight driver assistance camera system a major upgrade for the 2015 model year with new color cameras, as well as reducing its size by 15 percent over the rather bulky original system.
Subaru locates its EyeSight hardware inside the vehicle at the top of the windshield, which is unlike most other camera-based systems that have their hardware mounted somewhere in the front fascia. The benefit is that these rather expensive components are protected from any detritus that may hit the car, but the original system's size ate up a chunk of the driver's outward view. Thus, the shrinkage should be appreciated by new owners.
The upgraded stereo cameras have a 40-percent longer and wider detection range than the original system's cameras, and their ability to see color allows the system to recognize brake lights at a speed differential of 30 miles per hour, instead of 19 mph before. And as before, EyeSight continues to offer adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and pre-collision breaking that can slow the car automatically if an imminent accident is detected, even bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.

Subaru ending Tribeca production in January?

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

The writing has been on the wall for some time, but it seems that Subaru is finally pulling the lever on the guillotine to put the midsize Tribeca crossover out of its misery. Jalopnik has what appears to be a communication from Subaru to its dealers announcing that the final Tribeca will roll off the Lafayette, IN assembly line in January, with the last dealer delivery expected to occur the following month.
The last report we heard regarding the Tribeca said that Subaru could be planning a fullsize, three-row crossover, possibly to compete against the Nissan Pathfinder and Ford Explorer. Dropping the Tribeca would leave the automaker without a three-row crossover for the foreseeable future, but according to the memo, Subaru has sold just 78,000 Tribecas since 2005 making it one of the worst-selling vehicles in the US in 2011 and 2012 - for comparison, the automaker has already found 84,372 customers for its new Forester this year (through September) alone.
We have reached out to Subaru for comment on the Tribeca's passing, but have yet to hear back as of this writing. Stay tuned for an update, when and if we get word.

Subaru WRX and STI meet at the dyno with interesting results

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Road and Track recently put the 2015 Subaru WRX and the 2015 WRX STI through a battery of dyno tests to find out not only how much difference there is between their two engines, but what kind of differences there are. The WRX gets the company's new FA20 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine with features like a twin-scroll turbocharger, direct injection and variable valve timing on its two cams. The WRX STI stands pat with the older EJ-Series motor, meaning a 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder with port fuel injection and carryover turbo lag. Subaru pegs the $26,295 WRX at 268 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and an "extremely conservative" 0-60 mile per hour time of 5.4 seconds. The $34,495 STI clocks in at 305 hp and 290 lb-ft with a 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds. Ok, fight.
R&T's dyno runs sussed power numbers at the wheel of 223 hp and 245 lb-ft for the WRX, 247 hp and 243 lb-ft for the STI, then went on to demonstrate in numbers what everyone knew: that the WRX consistently puts out more of its torque earlier than the STI and achieves full boost almost three seconds quicker. On the other hand, on the track, the STI was also shown to have a conservative official 0-60 mph time, stopping the timer at 4.8 seconds compared to the WRX's 5.2 seconds.
The mag says it has comprehensive results coming from its "complete battery of tests," but for now, you can scrutinize their dyno charts and let the battle continue about which one you'd rather put your money down for.
