Bought a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5 wagon a few weeks ago. Has a manual trans, aspen white in color and black/gray interior. I bought it because I landed a job a few hundred miles away for the summer and couldn't pass up the deal. $6000 flat, with 89,000 miles and excellent on fuel, for my standards anyway. It's in immaculate shape, even had the single, prior owner's DoD sticker still on it. It also has a warranty on major components through the dealer, pretty good deal.
I will have time to retire the 100, save some money while working and decide what to do next, as far as vehicles go, once I have some cash in my account.
Sure, I would love for it to be a WRX, but I can't afford a new one and don't feel like buying into someone's elses problem. The 2.5 will do.
The subaru supposedly averages 30mpg highway on regular fuel, in town around 20 or so. I haven't had a chance to calculate it yet.
Does anyone currently run one of these? How hard would it be to add in some heated seats?
I imagine after the summer that I could turn a profit if I sold it in the right area, like the NC mountains, but would like to make it comfortable for now. I'm throwing in my kickin' stereo and driving it stock. Great little engine, a blast to drive. It feels like it's running on rails, very fun and solid on dirt roads.
Anything to look out for? Little mods that help? Any advice or pictures that you guys could post up would be great!
Thanks again.
