heres a more detailed description:
The Good:
Only 78,608 miles
New transmission with a $1700 receipt and many other receipts
Transmission has been broken in over 1000 miles and babied
Previous owner before me has about thousands and thousands of $ in receipts
NEW: Water Pump, Timing Belt, 2 more belts, Coolant, Alternator.
Passes SMOG with super low numbers
i have original transmission and parts, but it isnt a full spare (chipped teeth)
Power windows, digital speedo/tach model, gradient seats (if all this even matters to you)
no rust (besides 2 inches of flaking under the sunroof panel lip (visable only when its open)
Never messed with the "Diff Lock" center console button in fear of wearing the car out.
All stock except HKS catback ($600)
GAB Rally struts, pretty thick and beefy. (not installed) Theyre red GAB "Rally" in white
also have manual boost controller and Autometer Boost guage (CF face, Yellow/white text)
The Bad:
front driver quarter panel got rolled into by parked car which was initially a 4" X 8" size dent,
I took the panel off and smoothed it out best i could, so now its straight with crinkling.
(right on "full time 4wd" sticker)
some scratches and chipped paint, hardly any dings, two dents (barely visable)
one dent on rear bumper (where sticker is) other on passenger side rear pillar (very minor)
re92 tires (safe, but balding)
sometimes it wont start when you turn the key, so you have to put it in neutral and lunge back and forth for some reason it works.
drivers seat has minor wear but excellent adjustibility (6 adjusments i think?)
Digital tach and speedo glitch out sometimes
Red sparco wheel looks pretty worn
Was planning to RallyX but never did, i hardly even taken it into any dirt besides a turnout or two.
These are all minor problems i think. Just trying to get my lost money back while giving you a fresh, well broken in tranny. Not in hurry to sell so $3000 OBO

i know i dont believe it either...i saw this car in the auto trader a year and a half ago...$3250...i drove over to Monterey and bought it that night.
ONLY THEN the transmission goes out a few weeks into driving it...i put $2000 into it, and no one will buy it for the F'n price *I* paid!
its like having a car, and the transmission fairy replace the tranny with a new one overnight FOR FREE!! you dont even have to leave the car under your pillow!
i dont see how all these subaru guys have $30K cars and dont want a play car...seriously...thats like me spending less than a $1K for a beater (since my RS is $8K) or like Bill Gates spending a nickel.
dont make me link this to the main forum illegally!

i will now, just didnt want to deal with people coming from far away for a $3000 car. i know stock ones of these have gone for $6500 in SF
didnt think it be a PITA to sell...since its basically a WRX that is 90% off!$$$
not to mention cool and a classic, you wont see another on the road
