Vehicle Detail

BUYER MUST PICK UP THIS CAR. i WILL NOT DELIVER. This has been an amazing car. It's a Forester XT with an STi conversion. I don't want to sell it, but I'm moving to Florida for work, so everything must go. I'm an ex aircraft mechanic, and I maintain all of my vehicles to the same standard I put in aircraft. This is a great car. It's dependable. I would drive it across the country tomorrow without hesitation. Since the STi conversion, I would guess this car is at about 275hp. It's fast, and has an awesome power band after 3k rpm. The power just builds all the way to red line. I've never had this car on a track. It's never been raced under my care. Only at red lights and such. I travel for a living, so 90%of the miles have been on the interstate. I'm self-employed, so I can prove that statement with my driving logs. It's a turbo-back conversion. So the turbo, and all of the exhaust is from an STi. It has all new brakes, rotors, and calipers. It has a brand new Clutch Masters 380hp clutch and flywheel with the 242mm upgrade http://www.clutchmasters.com/fx100-15106-hd00-sk/ with about 2k miles on it. I had that installed by my mechanic, and I can show the reciept if you want. I just had the replaced the A/C compressor and condenser It has a new STi turbo with less than 40k miles on it since it was replaced It has a new STi engine with less than 40k miles on it since it was replaced Just changed the water pump assembly(water pump, thermostat, timing belt) all with less than 40k miles since it was replaced Lubricants recently changed(Transmission, differential) Engine oil is synthetic, but needs to be changed soon. I never go over 4k miles, even though the oil claims I can go 7k. The engine has 3k on the oil now I've always used a K&N oil filter on the engine It has a new 5 speed STi transmission with less than 40k miles on it since it was replaced It has a brand new set of 80k Cooper tires with less than 5k miles on them It has a new K&N air filter A has a factory 6 disk cd player A factory 6" sub-woofer The sound system is perfect, and sounds great. No buzzing speakers or anything like that Heated mirrors Heated seats Fog lights Brand new headlights, and head light covers(My wife scraped the bumper backing out of a parking spot at Walmart. I had the damage repaired through my insurance, but I paid extra to have the old headlights and covers replaced. They were pretty yellow.) A trailer hitch I just changed the front CV axels New upstream and downstream O2 sensors These floor mats are on order, and will come with the car. They're the factory mats that came with the car from the dealer https://www.quirkparts.com/oem-parts/subaru-carpet-mats-for-xt-gray-j5010ssa200 It does have a couple of minor issues-- The car was rear-ended by another car going very slow. It splintered the paint on the rear bumper. Pictured above. No underlying damage. The check engine light comes on every once in a while, because it wasn't tuned for the STi exhaust. It doesn't happen all the time, just every once in a while. I always unplug the battery to reset the computer, and the check engine light goes away. It can come on after a couple hours after the reset, or it can come on after a few weeks. It's pretty random, but it is from the free flowing exhaust. Every once in a great while, the driver's window won't roll down. I replaced the motor last year, but it does still happen, but not often. The key fob no longer unlocks or locks the car. Maybe the battery? I haven't fooled with it to get it resolved. Full transparency about the reserve price. It's set at $4k. I need to get that much out of the car.
