I have a 99 Subaru Forester L AWD wagon for sale. The car is in good condition with no rust or major body damage. Just the clear coat on the hood is peeling. It drives nice and straight with no funny noises or vibrations and the transmission shifts well. It has a Subaru re-manufactured transmission that was installed in 2006 (there is a metal stamp on the tranny itself). Tires all have good tread with no weather cracking including one almost new tire.

New parts within the last few months include a radiator and hoses, spark plugs and wires, altenator, drive belts, front cv joints, front brake pads and rotors, knock sensor, oil change, and air filter. Even though the rotors are new they still have a slight vibration and I will remedy that before the new owner take possession. The car recently passed NC state's safety and emissions inspection in July.

It has power windows and door locks, power mirrors, cold a/c and hot heat, cruise, power steering, abs, dual airbags, and leather interior.

The cons to this car are as follows: Crack in the windshield, washer fluid motor does not work, speedometer works intermittently, a hole in carpet under driver's floor mat, a rip in the drivers seat leather, a tire mark on the rear leather seat and some substantial oil leaks (3/4 quart a week when driving 250 to 300 miles/week). The head gaskets, thankfully are GOOD! It appears to be leaking from the camshaft seals and the rear main seal. We never had it diagnosed or estimated so don't quote me on the leak locations. It was a car that we purchased with the intent of my wife driving it, but we decided against it once we found the oil leaks.

Overall it is a solid running SUV that has a lot of life left in it and would make a perfect winter or work vehicle. Interior is relatively clean with no foul odors or stains. It comes with the rear cargo mat to keep things tidy.

Please feel free to ask any and ALL questions before submitting an offer or purchasing. Thank you for looking and good luck!

Daily Driver: Long-Term 2015 Subaru WRX

Tue, Feb 3 2015

In successive weeks the middle west and eastern coast of our country were blanketed in snow. Thankfully for my fellow Michigan-based Autoblog editors and I, our long-term 2015 Subaru WRX was fitted with Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D tires before the first flake even fell. I stole the keys and ran out of the office was loaned the WRX for a week recently, and made good use of a sunny Saturday to take the car out for a proper, winding road drive. In the video you see here, I happened to have great weather and dry roads for the test, but rest assured that it had been snowy and gross up to that point. We're going to have lots more to say about our gold-footed 'Rex before we give it back, but in the meantime believe me when I say that the car is well-sorted for the worst that Winter '15 will throw at it.

How Subaru saved itself by marketing to the gay community

Mon, Oct 17 2016

Almost everyone who's in the car community, and even people that aren't, have probably heard the stereotype that lesbians drive Subarus. What you may not realize is that stereotype was fostered by Subaru, and it helped make the company relevant again in the '90s. This is the story told by NPR's Planet Money podcast. Apparently, as the company was trying to figure out who was buying its cars, the marketing folks discovered that gay and lesbian people were a large segment – along with all those outdoorsy types. The discovery led to subtle advertising directed specifically at what we now refer to as the LGBT community, which in turn led to more sales to gay and lesbian consumers. There were other components to Subaru's sales strategy in the '90s, but this particular campaign was an important part and quite successful. Thanks to that success, today we still have Subaru around building reliable, all-wheel-drive transportation, as well as rally-inspired sport compacts. There are of course many more details, but we don't want to spoil them for you. For the whole story, you need to head over to the Planet Money site and listen in.
