My Neon has been a very good rallycross car, and my new Fit does pack mule duty reasonably well, so it is time to sell my rallycrosser/winter beater Legacy Brighton Wagon. Asking $950, might consider trades, but mostly interested in selling it to recover driveway/garage space. Located in Southwestern Ohio just east of Cincinnati.

The quick details: -1995 Subaru Legacy Brighton, Red with Tan interior.
-2.2L / 5-speed -166K miles
-Includes Primitive Racing Front and Rear 3/16" skidplates (front not currently installed)
-Homemade light bar with three lights on it
-Rear mudflaps made from an 18-wheeler mudflap.
The good: -Except for the drivers side rear fender(pictured at the link), its very light on rust.
-Transmission shifts fine, clutch is good
-Its on 14" wheels with Mastercraft Glacier Grip II tires with tons of tread left (at least 10mm depth on each tire when I measured).
-Light bar is bolted securely to the bumper support, and has a GoPro mount in the center.
-Aux lighting consists of two cheap fog lights and one Hella 500FF (there was an incident in my driveway that took out the other Hella), and is wired up with relays and uses OEM fog light switches I pulled from junkyard cars
-I added a tachometer to the cluster (also pulled from a junkyard car)
-Newer CD player with an Aux input.
-Moog ball joints and outer tie rod ends installed about a year ago.
-Shifter bushings replaced Spring 2011
The bad: -It leaks oil. I try to check it every fillup or two. Sometimes it needs oil, sometimes it doesn't
-In the spring, at the end of an rallycross, seemed to be running "weird". Turned out to be the dreaded "crank pully wobble". I pulled crank pully/timing cover/timing belt off, but could not remove the woodruff key without risking breaking it, so I re-installed everything very tightly, and have been driving as my junkyard/scrap/Lowes/utility vehicle ever since. Could be fine for many more thousands of miles, could have a problem tomorrow. I just don't know. New buyer could weld it up if they want to play it safe and don't intend to tear the engine apart.
-A/C worked when I got the car, but was weak over this last summer, so there's a leak somewhere.
-The battery I got for it over summer is not an exact fit, so it'll need to be secured better before it'll pass an inspection at a rallycross.
-Before it got to me, it appears to have been knocked around a bit. Lots of paint scuffs, a decent sized dent on the right front fender, and the front body panels don't line up right. I had to redrill the front skidplate to fit.
-Interior is kind of rough, there's a split in the seam of a side bolster on the driver's seat.
-It really could use a set of struts, not surprising after all the rallycrossing, but they were pretty bad when I got the car.
Whoever buys it, also gets whatever spares I have, including:
-Leather heated driver's seat. I pulled it from an outback and had planned on wiring it up to use this winter.
-Spare set of used plug wires/coil. Coil tested out good.
-Haynes Guide
-Set of Outback strut/spring assemblies, condition unknown, I planned on lifting it if I kept but was done rallycrossing it.
-Whatever else I find in the garage thats subaru related.
