This is.... Just... wow.

Seller said: I CURRENTLY HAVE A BUYER LINED UP, please hold the emails- I will update this ad in a few days if for some reason it doesn't happen. Thanks This was my big hobby/project from the last few years and I'm just not that into cars anymore so I'm ready to sell it. This is a very low-mileage Impreza (60,200 miles at the moment) and because I never ended up installing a wideband 02 sensor, I kept it safe and never went above 3,000 RPMs (as anyone who has seen me driving locally may have been disappointed to notice haha.) All in all, it has only put on about 20,000 miles since the big install. I'm offering it for cheap (without the modifications this is a $10,000 car) because I am ready to move on sooner than later, and this opens the door for someone who either wants to make a few grand on it by returning it to stock, or someone looking for a very cheap platform to start their own project with. The all-wheel drive, tranny, and drive train in general are all very solid. To my knowledge the engine is solid as well, but it's hard to put any sort of guarantee on that without going inside, so I'll leave that one up to the buyer's discretion; And at the price I'm asking, it isn't much of a gamble regardless. That said, there are plenty of little quirks here and there that would need attention if they bother you.. Nothing that will keep you off the road (aside from a few holes in the exhaust,) but to name a couple, the dashboard doesn't have a backlight anymore, and the speakers (Alpine deck, Infinity speakers) won't play until the loose wire somewhere along the loop is found. It's likely just a simple short inside the door, but again, I'm not into this stuff anymore, so I'm not looking into it myself. I highly recommend that you have a good knowledge of how cars work if you buy this. Basically, if you can look at what I did and understand the why behind it, you can either turn a great profit bringing it back to stock or save a few thousand dollars on the starting platform for your own project. If not, you're probably going in over your head. Also, I have the original 16" aluminum rims with snow tires on them that I can throw in as well- It's on aftermarket 17's at the moment (which need new tires) so this leaves you with an easy seasonal change-over Asking $4,800, will consider any reasonable offers

I'm told that the forum threads on RS25.com where worth of much headspinning.

Video of it clearly just revving below 3000rpms. I'm sure the 4000rpms in the description was merely a typo.

I've never understood people that post pics of their car in For Sale ads, that don't bother to, at least clean out the leaves and trash under the hood

Yeah, slick, I'm pretty sure you weren't that into cars then either....

Wow. And only 20k miles on a rigged, homebrew, untuned subie engine. I bet THAT runs forever...
