SORRY..I PUT 284,000 BY MISTAKE..IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT 254,000 (drrrrrrrrr) If you want to inspect the car before the listing closes..give me a call at 760.805.1105..Sharon Original Retail cost was $25,997.00 before taxes. I am the second owner. I notice Auto Check says 3 owners I can only assume the dealer was considered an owner (?). I have all the paperwork from the original owner and I purchased it from him..so he said..all the paperwork is from him or his wife. I wouldn't be selling this car but I can't tow it without a trailer and I need a 4 wheels on the ground vehicle I can tow behind my motorhome . I have most of the important repair records. A friend did the regular maintenance and I didn't keep those records. Besides the trans being replaced in 2008 the engine was overhauled (including resurfacing the heads) in 2010. The battery is a few years old, I replaced the EGR equipment and the fuel pump within the last 6 months ago and recently had the right and left front inner tie rod ends replaced. The tires are also about 6 months old from "Big O Tires". They have a 100,000 mile limited warranty. I called the manager of "Big O Tires", he said even though it's not in the contract for second owners as long as the original phone number is used for check up's they should honor the warranty because they want to keep their customers. The records are kept in the system so it's country wide where ever there's a "Big O Tires" store. I'm assuming that includes the free tire rotation, balancing and the rest of the years wheel alignment warranty. I'm only repeating what I told told on this..I'm sorry I can't guarantee it. Wish I'd known I was going to sell this baby I would have done it differently. I can't seem to get the inside rear view mirror to stay positioned. I was told you need a special tool to tighten the screws and I've never taken it to a Subaru dealership to be checked. I don't know for sure if it needs to be tightened or replaced. I was planning on gluing it in place for me but now whoever buys it will make that decision. Also, the cup holder is cracked and it takes some positioning to get it to come out just want you to know. Everything works including the heated seats. REALLY NICE in the winter time even here in California. There is some wear on the leather seats but not really when you think about the use they've seen. You can see the leather on the dash and doors are in excellent condition for the age. The cars really been taken care of by me and the original owner. The rear compartment has a removable rear dog gate (dogs have been in the car) and a plastic compartment mat the keeps moisture from the carpet. It's pretty worn but still does the job of protecting the carpet. I haven't seen this on any other Subaru Wagon the rear hatch has stainless lift handle. It gives you a better grip to open the liftgate. Oh, the rear liftgate struts work fine except in very cold weather. They tend to slide back down when it's real cold other then that they are fine. Well, I've tried to give you all the information I have on this vehicle. I have the original paperwork given to me by the original owner including the manuals (although the brochure is for a 1999-I don't know why). Please email if you have any questions. This is an as is sale. It's running and everything is in good condition to the best of my knowledge. Thanks for looking Sharon
