Up for auction is a very nice 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon with manual transmission.

The bad: A very nice car, but it is a "mechanic's special". This vehicle is beginning to get a rod knock, and has minor corrosion starting at the front of the rear wheel wells. The air conditioning will also need to be recharged.

The good: It has no other issues except for a few minor scratches that are detailed in the photos and a very small chip in the windshield.This vehicle is not a Limited, is more functional, and something of a stripper model with the relatively uncommon black cloth interior with manual seats and no moon roof. The car does have the winter package with heated windshield wiper deicers, heated mirrors and heated seats. Car has brand new Dunlop SP Sports in the proper speed and load rating for a vehicle of this capability. Car has also been fitted with Whiteline brand front lower control arm bushings that replace the weak rubber puck design and allows for caster adjustment to the front alignment. A full timing belt service was done less than 15K ago, and a 10mm Subaru oil pump was also fitted at that time. All hoses were replaced during that service as well. Engine is a 2008 shortblock with 2004 STi heads that were installed at approximately 68K by Subaru. At that time the clutch was also replaced. Lighting is Hella 200, relayed and slaved to the high beams. Car is equipped with a satellite radio tuner. Interior is clean, no rips in the upholstery, and only minor wear to the driver's side bolster. Differentials have been consistently serviced with Lucas oil, and the transmission shifts smoothly with no issue. All electronics, displays and electrical systems work as they should. Wipers are new. Alternator is brand new. Front brake lines were replaced with the calipers with Goodridge stainless lines. The rear lines are not installed yet, but come with the car. I was waiting for the rear calipers to wear out before doing them. Brakes are all good and car will pass PA inspection which is good until December. Turbocharger was replaced just before timing belt with a new VF40 unit and the oil screen was replaced. O2 sensor was recently replaced with new Subaru. Plugs were also done at that time with Subaru/NGK. PCV and air inlet tube were replaced with turbo too. Knock sensor was recently replaced. Acc. belts are both pretty new. Car has lockable Subaru roof racks as shown in the photo and Subaru cargo liner. Cargo area carpeting is still pretty nice and clean. 2 keyless entry fobs, 2 coded keys, and 2 valet keys are included.

Car actually runs well still, and the knock is only audible during the "float" between accel at cruise over 3K RPM. Engine has not been run much since the knock was discovered. Engine otherwise runs quietly and smoothly. There are no codes and no valvetrain noises, etc. I have not driven the car much at all since the knock was discovered and have driven it very lightly. I believe that a turbo failure led somehow to the damage. I'd looked over the valvetrain after repairing the turbo and all looked fine, but I think eventually something got to a rod bearing, in spite of  the black nitride crankshaft and the 10mm oil pump. Intercooler was thoroughly washed out too, but there was little debris in it that I could see when I strained the flush solvent. Crank oil had no apparent debris in it too. Could certainly be driven home as long as you don't abuse the engine.

I hate to sell this unique version of a Legacy GT wagon, but I simply don't have the time to repair the engine and my wife has told me she'd prefer an automatic for the family car, so I am hoping to sell as-is at a reduced price. The new Subaru induction hardened crankshaft, a new set of ACL bearings and a gasket kit are probably all this engine needs if you have the time and ability to do the work. Please email me with any questions about any aspect of this car that might be important to you. I have other photos of specific areas if you would like. Thank you for looking.

2023 New York Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: See all the new cars from the show

Thu, Apr 6 2023

The 2023 New York Auto Show was a rather lively show full of North American vehicle debuts and a lot of new metal we’ve never seen before. As always, we were on the ground covering it from every angle for you, including photographing all the reveals on the show floor. There were a ton of new EVs shown and even a stunning concept with the Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept. YouÂ’ll be able to see them all, from the production Ram REV to the little (but now much bigger) Kona, in the numerous galleries below.   2024 Kia EV9 2024 Kia EV9 View 7 Photos 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line View 5 Photos 2025 Ram REV 2025 Ram 1500 REV View 6 Photos Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept View 9 Photos 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric, N Line and Limited 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric View 21 Photos 2024 Jeep Wrangler 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe View 22 Photos 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness View 14 Photos 2024 VW Atlas Peak Edition 2024 VW Atlas Peak Edition View 7 Photos Hyundai Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Concept Hyundai Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Concept View 9 Photos   Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Subaru announces 2019 Crosstrek pricing

Thu, Jun 21 2018

For the 2019 model year, the Subaru Crosstrek doesn't get a big refresh, but it does have a couple changes coming down the pipeline. One of those changes is in the pricing. For 2019, the MSRP is up by $100. That means the base price for the Crosstrek 2.0i equipped with the six-speed manual transmission — the most bare-bones version — is $22,870, which includes the $975 in destination fees. So what's new for 2019? For one, Subaru's EyeSight driver assist technology — which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, pre-collision braking and lane departure and sway warning — is available on the CVT-equipped base model. It's an $845 option, totaling $28,745. The Crosstrek Premium, which begins at $23,870, now comes with the 6.5-inch multimedia as standard. The Crosstrek Limited, at $28,170 has EyeSight, automatic braking and high beam assist as standard equipment. The Subaru Crosstrek, regardless of trim level, is all-wheel-drive, and powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder providing 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. That is mated either to a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission. The CVT in Premium and Limited trims also offers a seven-speed manual mode with paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel. CVT models also come with X-Mode and Hill Descent Control for loose or slick roads or off-road driving. The Subaru Crosstrek offers fuel economy figures of 23 miles per gallon city/29 highway/25 combined for manual-equipped models. The CVT-equipped version offers 27/33/29 mpg. If that's not good enough for you, you won't have to wait long for something better. Subaru has announced that the 2019 Crosstrek will be its first model to receive a plug-in hybrid powertrain, available by the end of this year. We don't know what the pricing will be on that, yet, though. Related Video:

Subaru puts China production on hold amidst slowing growth

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Subaru's 2015 sales and production forecast estimates the Japanese brand to sell about 60,000 vehicles in China this year, a 10 percent rise. However, a recent decision not to build a factory there might make future growth more difficult. Given the changing state of the market, the automaker doesn't seem concerned by the potentially lost sales. According to Bloomberg, even if the Chinese government gave permission for Subaru to build its planned joint venture factory with Chery, the Japanese brand would not take advantage of it. "Since the profits are split with your partner, you would have to double the sales to maintain the profits you earn by exporting from Japan," said Akira Mabuchi, the company's executive in charge of China, according to Bloomberg. Subaru is in the odd position of being the only major Japanese automaker without a joint venture partner to build cars in China, but the massive year-over-year growth there seems to be slowing. Auto sales in China were up 6.9 percent in 2014, according to Bloomberg, compared to 14 percent in 2013. Also, Chinese consumers have been famously averse to buying Japanese vehicles with only half of the consumers there even willing to purchase one. Instead, the company is focusing on the US market, according to Bloomberg. The decision makes sense. While Subie's sales in China shrunk 2 percent in 2014 to about 55,000 vehicles, the company grew 21 percent in the US to 514,000 units. The automaker already has plans to add capacity to its factory in Indiana. News Source: BloombergImage Credit: Jae C. Hong / AP Photo Plants/Manufacturing Subaru
