Up for sale, 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5 Limited. This is the higher fuel-mileage engine and it is loaded with every option. It is my daily driver but I have a baby on the way so I need something with more back-seat/trunk space. Here are the key points on this car:

The Good:
This car is a 5 speed manual
It has every option except for the automatic transmission and gas guzzling powerful engine
The car has a current emissions certification from the state of Illinois
Big moon roof (its huge)
No rust
Very reliable. Ive owned the car for 2 years and I have never had a problem. 
Clean Title
A/C works great
Power Windows
Power locks
Dual front and side airbags
Heated seats
Dual Zone automatic climate control
Gets 23-24 Mpg with a combination of city and highway (about 40%/60%)
Comes with Rubber floormats and trunk liner
In the last 6 months it has had both lower ball joints replaced, the drivers side axle replaced, alignment, tire rotation and the passenger side control arm replaced. These are wear items and need to be replaced every 100k miles or so
1 year ago I replaced all four brake rotors, all the brake pads and put new calipers on the front wheels as a precaution
It has excellent Hakkapelitta winter/snow/ice tires. They have very deep tread

The not so good:
174,456 miles. This will go up each day as I drive it every day
Drivers interior door panel is damaged. Not sure how, it was like that when I bought it. Has some ripples in it (see picture)
The 2 rear interior door panels have a small tear (see pictures)
Uses 1 qt of oil and 1 qt of coolant every 1000 miles or so. Just check it periodically
Has 175k miles worth of minor door scratches
The gas filler door is a little hard to release so I just leave it partly open sometimes
The passenger heated seat only works on the back, not the seat bottom

Note that I will be keeping the Hella lights on the roof of the car, as well as the bike racks. However, the factory roof rack and cross bars will stay with the car.

I am negotiable on the price but the Kelly Blue Book rates the car from $5497-$7272. I have priced it at the low end due to the door panel damage and paint scratches.

As you can see, I have included all the information I can think of for this car. I would be happy to show you the vehicle history report upon request. It comes up perfect with a note about a vehicle inspection notice that was resolved.

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.

Autoblog Minute: VW Q3 financial woes, 2015 Tokyo Motor Show

Fri, Oct 30 2015

Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. Copyright Office offers a ruling affecting car owners, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. copyright office offers a ruling that affects car owners and gear heads, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. After a week away testing vehicles for Autoblog's Tech of the Year award, we're back in the office to recap the week in automotive news. [00:00:30] One of the things you might have missed was Consumer Reports pulling its recommendation of Tesla's Model S sedan. The blemish for Tesla comes after a tally of reviews from customer surveys. The most common problem areas for the Model S as cited by survey takers included: the drivetrain, power equipment, charging equipment, body and sunroof squeaks, rattles, and leaks. So lots of stuff. Though they could not ignore a score of "worse-than-average", Consumer Reports still [00:01:00] highlighted the fact that the Model S was "the best performing car" they've ever tested. Telsa CEO Elon Musk took to social media to defend his sedans saying: "Consumer Reports reliability survey includes a lot of early production cars. Already addressed in new cars." And, "Tesla gets top rating of any company in service. Most important, CR says 97% of owners expect their next car to be a Tesla (the acid test)." In Financial news, Volkswagen took a hit and reported an operating loss of [00:01:30] $3.84 billion. This is the first such loss for VW in 15 years. Toyota reclaimed the crown as the world's largest automaker as well. It's important that it's not all doom and gloom for VW though in Q3. Sales revenues were up and the company's automotive division boasts $30 billion dollars in liquid assets. It's a sizable war chest that will no doubt come in handy, as the company has yet to feel the full brunt of the diesel emissions scandal. Good news for gear heads. The US copyright office [00:02:00] ruled in favor of mechanics and car owners by granting an exception to existing copyright law. The law was originally meant to prevent software pirating and bootlegging of Hollywood movies.

Subaru boosting US capacity thanks to strong sales

Sun, May 10 2015

It is very, very good to be Subaru right now. The company is rolling, with its global operating profits increasing 21 percent last quarter. While part of that is due to favorable currency conditions, the simple fact is that Subaru is selling a hell of a lot of cars, particularly in North America. The company's North American branch is expected to hit its sales goal of 600,000 units per year five years ahead of schedule, after moving 570,000 units in the recently completed fiscal year (remember, the Japanese fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31). Last quarter alone, Subaru NA saw a 12 percent increase in sales, significantly more than either the company's home market or the increasingly vital Chinese market, where sales declined by one and 14 percent, respectively. With such promising results, it's no surprise that Fuji Heavy Industries President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga announced plans to bump up production at the company's Indiana factory. Yoshinaga-san is pushing for annual capacity of 394,000 units by the end of calendar year 2016, Automotive News reports, adding that inventory levels in the US are too low. "If only we had more cars, we could be selling more," Yoshinaga told AN during a news conference. FHI's previous plans for the factory were much less aggressive. Originally, production would be expanded to 328,000 units by 2017, AN reports, with an eye towards a full 400,000 units per year by 2021. With 394,000 rolling out of the Lafayette, IN factory by next year, though, it's clear how keen Subaru is to take advantage of such strong demand.
