Have owned this car since late 2004. It has seen me through many rainstorms, floods, snowstorms, and high snow drifts. It is, simply put, a tank. AWD gets through anything. The car has two major problems: -- It needs a paint job. It is pealing in areas and is most noticeable around the hood. You can see it in the pictures. I did my best to accurately depict it.-- The car has a blown head gasket. It overheats after being driven about a mile. A tow truck or flatbed will be needed upon purchase to pick up the vehicle. Also, the driver's side mirror's plastic casing is cracked. The mirror however works fine. It still operates by the remote control in the front seat. The upholstery is grey, clean with no burn discernible burn marks. Aside from the head gasket the engine works fine. It starts right up and will drive smoothly for a little while. The back of the car has no top. The leather ripped from exposure to the elements long ago. The bed is good condition and the tailgate works fine. I work in the city and I don't drive the car nearly as much as I used to. I simply don't need it, so it doesn't pay for me to fix it. It can still be a great car for someone. I love this car. Its gotten me through a lot. If I ever do buy a new car, I'll be sticking with Subaru.With a little help, I think this would make a perfect first car for a new driver.The car has 56,000 original miles, and is worth about $9,000 in good working condition. I'm generously subtracting $2,000 for the paint and another $2,000 for the engine work, although both should be less than that. Or you need a new mechanic.That being said, I've started this auction at $3,000, so even with paint and the engine work, you're still saving $2,000. I did my best to show the car in full detail in the photos.If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
