This has been a great car. Looking to get something that can fit my growing family better, and something a little newer. This car is full of potential and can last many more years.
I'm sorry for the vast amount of info. This is all stuff that I would like to know as a buyer. Here's a summary:
-Automatic, AWD. Clean title in hand. Hazen, ND. Well maintained but needs some repairs, so it's priced for a DIY buyer or mechanic.
- Most of the miles are highway miles, driving to and from college, and running to work and back.
- Currently my daily car for work, so miles slowly are going up
Maintenance
- Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, and plug wires replaced at 110,000 miles. Alternator and steering pump belt replaced about 20,000 miles ago.
- Front and rear differential oil replaced at 140,000 miles
- Full synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles
-Transmission fluid changed 800 miles ago with Subaru ATF
-New air filter every other oil change
-Tires in good shape, spare and jack included
- Screw-in tow hook included
- Heat works great
- No overheating or coolant loss
Upgrades
- Pioneer touchscreen radio with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and HDMI input. SeriousXM upgradable. Can also add another camera input
- Backup camera wired up to the stereo.
-Premium aftermarket sound system: four 65W Kicker 2-way speakers, two 10" 800W Sony subs, and a 1000W sub on an 80A DC breaker
-USB charging ports on both sides of the center console and in the armrest, plus stereo USB and HDMI ports on the console
- Aftermarket LED low and high beam headlights
- Aftermarket remote start with two key fobs. One is a two-way (in a little rough shape), and the other is a one-way
- Two keys plus one OEM key fob
- Block heater and battery maintainer installed. They both are wired up to a waterproof plug in the front bumper.
Winter performance
- Does amazing in the winter. It can drive where some pickups can't. Handles snow and cold like a champ
Known issues (full disclosure)
- Oil leak: Appears to be both head gaskets seeping externally. It loses about 1 qt every 2,000 miles. The oil drips onto the exhaust heat shields, so there's a slight burning-oil smell after long idling.
- A/C: Compressor is seized, so no A/C.
- Front right CV axle: Rattles. A brand-new replacement axle is included with the sale.
- Driver's seat is tore. I put CAT seat covers in to help, but the driver seat cover also tore.
- Body damage: Front left and rear left corners, including a cracked rear bumper and a front bumper cover repaired with plastic stitching (see photos).
- Mirror: Chipped edge on the mirror housing.
-TPMS: The tire pressure sensors are dead, so the TPMS light stays on.
- Rust: Minor rust on the front and rear edge of the hood, and along the seam of the RR quarter panel and bumper cover. No rust underneath.
- Washer fluid tank: Cracked, holds about 1/3 capacity.
- Battery was put in this spring
- Alternator may be weak. It charges at about 13.2v, and the battery seems weak when starting sometimes. Might not be getting charged to it's full capacity.
- Potentially has a parasitic load. Car battery will die after sitting for a little over a week. Haven't troubleshot this yet either.
