For sale here is my 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. This has been my daily driver for the last five years. I bought it bone stock with 114,000 miles on it. I immediately began the process of upgrading it. It was stage II with intake, exhaust, DP, and a cobb AP tune within a few months. By 144k I had a vf39 turbo installed along with all supporting mods: sti intercooler, sti pink 565cc injectors, walbro fuel pump etc. The maintenance is beyond the minimum. I have replaced many parts improving the car and taking care of any issues as they came. The car is to the point now where there is little to nothing left to replace outside of a transmission and engine swap. I am selling the car simply because it is time for a new project, this one feels ‘finished’ to me. I don’t plan on upgrading the engine and turbo more and I want to get a 3000gt vr-4. The car is still daily driven, completely reliable and performance ready to be a weekend warrior and a grocery getter.

All parts were installed by either a mechanic or my local tuner (in most cases the latter). Turn in Concepts in Cincinnati, the most reputable Subaru tuner in the tri-state, who is decorated for winning real races, installed the majority. They can vouch for a healthy car. The e-tune was done by Ray Arroyo at Turbotek tuning, a accomplished and proficient tuner/etuner that generally tunes through the Cobb Accessport. The Accessport can datalog in realtime, upload maps, and do much more. The car with come with an Accessport to do with as you wish (reflash, new maps, new tune). The car is currently good for a 12.8 @ 108. The car has 270awhp, 260awt, and is about 3000lbs. Nearly all parts were bought from reputable users with like new parts (if used) on the biggest Impreza forum in the world, NASIOC., New parts were from TIC, scoobytuner.com, or oakos.com, or Subaru. Mileage on engine and body: approx. 180k. Mileage on tranny: 130k. Thing runs like new. Well taken care of Subaru’s last forever.

When I bought the car, around 2010, the KKB value was $11,000 @ 114k, great condition
I understand price goes down over time. But KBB doesn’t calculate upgrades and modifications and sustainability etc. I understand you never get back what you put into a car but I should get back current KBB plus half of my investment. Or another way to figure it is half original KBB when purchased plus half of investment into car. Either way someone is getting a hell of a car for a lot less that I invested.

My total investment into car parts: $15,275
(if you were to include labor it would easily be $22,775)
Current KBB for the mileage is $5,500 + 15,275 divided by THREE= 10,592
This makes the car a bit of a loss for me and quite a gain for you.

I will let it go for $8,999 OBO (Or Best Offer).
Willing to entertain offers (within reason). No harm in running it by me.

*Serious inquiries only, please don’t waste my time or yours, obviously no joyrides

This is not a BestBuy sound system, this is one that an audiophile would appreciate.

That’s a quality sound system, not sony, pioneer, polk, mtx, or kenwood (except their amp which is fine)
Cost: $1025, Output, around a 1750 watt max system, rms is hard to remember, maybe 850 watts rms.


Accident (1) History
One winter a few years ago I had to swerve off the road downhill to avoid a truck who slammed on its brakes, there was impact to the side of the car, damage was concentrated, took the car to Subaru, they said it did not affect the frame, or other body parts outside of a side/corner. Trying to recall the details but they fixed everything like new. The rear diff hit a tree trunk that was cut when I went off road to avoid the truck, so they replaced that too, along with the entire rear end. Alignment and balance are fine. No issues.

The parts and labor for this job was $7500.

A good bit was on paint, and not all was needed. Half of this was labor.
About $2000 of it is listed above, parts not including labor would be an additional, $1250

The vehicle does not have a salvage title, Subaru considered it restored to new condition. No problems with it since. Just being upfront and honest. They repaired some bumper parts, grill, Left axle, fender, door, pillar, mirror, trim, quarter panel.

I have all receipts.

Head gasket failures were common on early naturally aspirated EJ25s. HG failure is almost unheard of in a turbo boxer motor.
