Subaru Impreza (1998)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

Selling my 1998 Subaru impreza outback sport. Car has around 142k miles (still drive it daily so its slowly going up) and mechanically is in perfect shape. No leaks anywhere; it has never left me stranded. It's a 5 speed manual with all the factory options. I've replaced the front struts (have rears but haven't gotten around to replacing them), flushed and replaced the diff/tranny fluid, fixed the rear wiper and hatch, replaced the clock spring, done oil changes every 3k miles, replaced front brake pads, put in a new battery, and just generally taken care of the car. Cruise, windows, horn, fog lights; everything works as it should. Timing belt was done at 110k by previous owner. Also has a Pioneer head unit that has an aux in and USB/iPod controls. I'll include a stock head unit with weather band feature and tape/cd player. I had issues getting it to get decent reception so stuck with the Pioneer.
Some cons are an exhaust hanger is rusted out and the exhaust rattles. With the windows up you can't really hear it but it's noticeable from outside. Missing a fog light surround. The exterior of the car is definitely the weakest point; the clear coat is pealing on the hood and there are a number of scratches and dings around the car. It never bothered me too much as I'm more worried about the actual workings of the car. Wipers act strange sometimes, they always work but sometimes don't reach the full edge of the windscreen and come down hard. Passenger side speaker is blown. Rear wiper washer fluid line is disconnected for some reason. I didn't want to pull the headliner to get it put back together and it's never gotten so dirty as to need it. I'm the third owner; car has a clean title and needs nothing to drive cross country tomorrow.
This would be a perfect car for a first time driver as it needs nothing mechanically and already has been worn in on the exterior. AWD works great and would be a great car for a skier or someone who wants to throw some friends and dogs in the back and get out hiking or camping.
Asking $5, 000 or best offer. Only trades I'm interested in is a project motorcycle or a vw vanagon. Something like a 70's Honda cb or cl of any cc would be interesting or a yamaha rd etc. Basically any 60's to early 80's motorcycle that needs work. I've been very clear with everything the car has wrong, if those things don't bother you and you want a simple, dead reliable AWD wagon this is the car for you.
Any questions feel free to ask!
