You're bidding on a mint-condition, low mileage 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Premium. I am the original owner, and have babied this car. With only about 28,000 miles on the odometer, you have more than 30,000 miles remaining on Subaru's powertrain warranty. There are no significant issues with this car. Minor flaws are all listed below. The car is usually kept under a cover, it's been hand-washed (NEVER in a car wash) several times a month, and hand-waxed at least 3 times a year since new. It's never been in an accident, and it's never been smoked in. Interior and exterior are spotless. All of the pics, including the odometer, were taken November 7th and 8th, 2010. Enjoy the same DNA that makes the WRX Sti such a hot competitor on the rally circuit, without the premium gas or the speeding tickets! This 5-speed manual trans compact is the ultimate practical/fun car. With the seats folded down, she holds a ton of whatever you have to move. Fold the back seat up, and bring three or four friends anywhere with plenty of legroom. With Subaru's famous full-time symmetrical all-wheel drive, this car sticks to the ground no matter how fast you take a turn, and goes through snow or mud like a tank! And while the official rating is 27 MPG, on highway trips I've consistently gotten 32 and up. The stereo has been upgraded to a JVC 80-watt 4-channel system with Pioneer speakers, HD radio, and iPod connection that not only allows you to control the iPod from the head unit, but also charges the iPod while you're listening. It's satellite radio ready and has a removable faceplate. The iPod is NOT included. The original factory 6-disc CD changer is included with the car. This car has alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather-trimmed shifter. It's equipped with Vehicle Dynamic Stability Control for the ultimate in on-the-road safety. In fact, when this model hit the road, the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHSTA) ratings made the 2008 Impreza THE safest small car available in America at that time. The minor flaws: There's a small door ding on the driver's side front fender. There's a small dimple in the roof where a branch fell on it during a windstorm. And there are a few small circular scratches on the hood where I wiped off some frozen bird crap (don't do that!) Aside from that, there's just the normal MINOR scratches and chips that come with use. I regularly go over the car with touch-up paint and fill in any chips from gravel or road salt. One tire has a bubble on the sidewall and should be replaced. The other tires are all decent to very good. Three are original, one is only a year old. The tread picture shown lets you see the WORST of the tires, which is not bad. However, if bidding meets my buy-it-now price, I will include a full set of NEW tires. There are NO mechanical issues whatsoever. As I am still using the car daily, mileage will vary slightly. I really like this car, and wanted to buy out my lease, but since Subaru would rather lease me a new one, that's what I'm doing, getting another new one JUST LIKE THIS ONE. That brings me to one last item that any buyer must know: since this is a leased car, there will be a delay of a few days or maybe a week between the time you make payment and the time you receive the certificate of ownership, since I'll have to buy out the lease and wait for the bank to send it to me. You'll get the car, the keys, manual, and all other paperwork and maintenance records as soon as you make payment. Check out my eBay feedback and bid with confidence. This is a great little car!
