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 axes WRX and STI in UK

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Auto Express reports Subaru will stop selling the Impreza, WRX and WRX STI in the UK starting next year. A spokesperson with the company said Subaru has been evaluating the Impreza and its performance in the UK for the past year and has finally decided to pull the plug. That means all of the model's performance iterations will also drop off of dealer lots, including the WRX and the STI. The unnamed spokesperson said Subaru UK currently has no plans to to bring more stock of either model once the current supply sells out. That means buyers in the UK have until around early summer 2013 to get their hands on an STI.
The move comes in response to slow demand, which has trickled off in the face of competition that best the machine in terms of refinement, performance and emissions. Moving forward, the automaker says it will focus its sales efforts on models like the XV Crosstrek, Forester and Outback, as well as the company's new BRZ sports coupe.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

A closer look at the 2015 Subaru Legacy

Sun, 16 Feb 2014

The Subaru Legacy might not have been the hottest debut at the recent Chicago Auto Show, but for the Japanese automaker, it's hugely important. Much as we'd love to focus on Subaru's more engaging WRX, STI and BRZ models, the truth is, its the mainstream Forester, Outback and Legacy that make up the vast majority of the brand's sales, not to mention the Impreza and XV Crosstrek.
This new Legacy looks to gain a lot more traction in the mainstream market than its predecessor, with handsome, if familiar, styling, standard all-wheel drive, and more efficient powertrains. Under the hood, customers can choose between a 2.5-liter boxer-four, or a more powerful six-cylinder engine. Subaru says that the four-cylinder setup actually boasts class-leading fuel economy for all-wheel-drive vehicles in the Legacy's class.
West coast editor Michael Harley stopped by the Subaru stand for a closer look at the 2015 Legacy. Check it out in the video below.
