178k miles, 4EAT. No mods that I've noticed other than a terrible fart can, aftermarket CD player, and bugeye WRX wheels with fairly fresh Continental all seasons. Sorry, the goldies are long gone. The exhaust tone is actually not bad inside the car, it's quiet and rumbly and doesn't get annoying on the freeway, but sounds like ass from outside the car. Probably has some leaky gaskets. Seriously, put a Stromung on this thing when you buy it!

The bad:
Paint is flaking off the hood scoop and the driver's door rub strip, and is fading on the roof and sunroof somewhat. It will probably mostly buff out. The transmission shifts a little firm on 1-2, trying to find out if it's ever had a service. If it has I can flush it and put in new fluid and probably take care of the issue. There is a bad home tint job, and the rear defroster might not work across the entire window. Luckily I have a replacement rear window you can have for free if you're willing to get it installed.

The good:
No CELs, no leaks, no coolant or oil burning. The engine runs strong, gets good mileage, and the suspension is still good. No squishy blown struts. I got this really cheap because it supposedly needed an engine rebuilt and/or HGs. Turns out there's nothing wrong- I've driven it to Sac and back, around town, quick trips, full throttle to redline, and it's fine.
Interior is very nice other than a tear on the front of the lower driver's seat (can't see it when you're in the car), and exterior is good other than the noted blemishes. It's not even debadged. Also, I have a master engine gasket kit that I wound up not needing to use on this car, I'll throw in that plus a timing belt and tensioner for free.

No pics til Wednesday. I picked up a replacement hood, fender and front bumper that are in pretty good shape. I'd give the extreior an 8/10, since there's paint issues on the door and the hoodscoop. It's be a 9.5/10 without those.

I can install minor mods (engine bolt-ons, suspension, brakes, etc.) for free on this car if you provide parts. I can even go ahead and do the HGs and timing belt for you, but that will add a little cost.

You realize Kevin, that if you sell any more cars, you're going to have to be a registered dealer in the state of Nevada and pay sales tax, right?

Kevin M · 2010-03-22, 09:34 PM

Since I haven't actually sold any yet this year, it's not an issue yet.

Ms Heatha · 2010-03-23, 05:34 AM

Whoa whoa whoa, since when have you had a green one?

Kevin M · 2010-03-23, 09:16 AM

It's not actually mine. A friend in the bay area who is a licensed dealer bought it recently, and sent it up here to me for HGs and stuff that it ended up not needing. I'm listing it here to save him the hassle of getting it back down to him.

Dewey · 2010-03-23, 10:27 PM

Thats weird. for a moment I thought Kevin was describing my car.

ScottyS · 2010-03-24, 09:40 AM

Are you saying that you have a spare Green OBS hood now?

Kevin M · 2010-03-24, 10:08 AM

Yeah, but it's pretty banged up. I doubt you'd want it.

Kevin M · 2010-03-24, 03:58 PM

w00t, pictars!

For a second there I thought it was going to be a 5spd... boo

Kevin M · 2010-03-24, 06:41 PM

I could make that happen.

JC · 2010-03-31, 11:39 AM

How much?

Kevin M · 2010-03-31, 11:57 AM

For a 5MT swap, or just the car?

sybir · 2010-03-31, 12:35 PM

Fuck that, JC needs the white RS you're selling

Kevin M · 2010-03-31, 12:48 PM

It's been brought up.

I can't really think of a more appropriate owner for it actually. You know, besides me.

JC · 2010-03-31, 12:50 PM

It's like an unwritten law that all my cars are white. And to think I wanted a black RS way back in 2000 when I bought my car!

Kevin M · 2010-03-31, 12:59 PM

Something something once you go black something something

JC · 2010-03-31, 01:29 PM

That's why I stay white!

A1337STI · 2010-04-07, 11:57 AM

I dunno why i love Green imprezas would make a kick-ass PGT / Open light car but it doesn't make sense to buy a car with a great interior and just rip it out asap ... doh

someone should buy this and race it

Kevin M · 2010-04-07, 12:15 PM

Actually, someone did buy it. Probably won't be much racing it though.
