Default Impreza L wagon (gf8/daily driver inspired)

I really don't have the time to repair the transmission issue so it makes more sense to sell this. Still drive it everyday without any issues except the rattling noise from the transmission; input shaft bearing and the rear ball bearing on the main shaft rattles and needs to be replaced. No grinds on any gear. Just rattling noise.

You can either replace the bearings or buy a used low mileage transmission for about $500-800.

Here is a thread created by another member who had the exact same issue : Whirring noise with clutch engaged - Silent when disengaged - Subaru Impreza GC8 & RS Forum & Community: RS25.com

UPDATE Price Drop $7500 (non negotiable) buyer fixes transmision (see transmission issue above) (P1 lip not included but I will provide a legit V6 replica lip which is on my RS)


1997 Impreza L wagon
Clean California Title
No rust or Oil leaks

Engine
Reconditioned Ej25d with 50,000 miles since refurbished. I bought the low mileage engine from a 99 legacy outback with 80,000 which replaced the Ej22 with a bad head gasket.
The Engine/Transmission has absolutely no leaks because everything was resealed and gaskets/oil seals were replaced.
Below is a list of what was performed or replaced. All receipts are available including that of the engine.

Fuel injector o rings (oem)
Timing belt kit (all new pullies and tensioner)
Heads resurfaced (Osborn Automotive Machining)
Updated multi-layer head gaskets (oem)

Front and rear camber bolts
03 wrx rear sway bars w/ endlinks
Oem RS wheels (OEM silver color)

Intake/Exhaust
K&N drop in filter
2007 WRX axleback painted flat black with brand new OEM tip

Exterior
Repainted Oem Mystic Blue pear by (Mobworks) using Dupont paint/Clear coat (Stlll shines like new)
Roof rack delete- Shaved and filled during repaint

RS side skirts
RS oem hood
Jdm oem aero mud guards (front and rear)
Jdm rear spats (brand new oem)
RS crystal head lights
RS fog lights
V6 front and and rear bumper (brand new during repaint)
Rear wiper stalk (Oem brand new just bought last month)
All fenders are stock and not rolled to fit bigger wheels.

Interior
02 Wrx front seats clean
Air Condition blows (super cold)/Heater
04 Wrx 5 Disc changer (grey color)
Power Windows/Door locks
Hatch privacy cover
2000 OBS rear seats (more padding than the L version)

The car is super reliable and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.
As far as the exterior it still looks very nice, but it's a daily driver so don't expect it to be in brand new condition.

Some things that could be updated are:
Windshield (no cracks but pitted slightly)
Rear wiper motor stopped working (easy fix)
Passenger fender key mark
A small part of the edge of pass. front bumper was rubbed by another car and paint came off which I temporarily touched up with paint pen
Passenger front window rolls up not as quick as driver side
Needs new floor mats
Foot pedal rubber on clutch and brake have ripped off (easy fix)


Asking price is $7500(not negotiable so don't ask)
Lowballers will be ignored!!!!

Whoever picks this up won't be disappointed. Its a real solid car and these types of cars are getting harder to find. Mechanically there are no other issue besides what was described above. I have priced the car reasonably and almost everything on the ej25d swap is new. Also consider the exterior upgrades and hours one would have to invest to transform a car in the current state my car is in. Everything was done right without rush or hack jobs, or flat black dirty engine bay.

If you’re serious and interested send a private message and I will get back to you asap. Lowballers, Sh** talkers and haters will be ignored. Don't waste your time by posting negative comments because I don't care or won't be offended by them.

Thank you for your time.

First of all. I wanted to say good job with this. It's looks great! Second of all. And this is just a suggestion. If you haven't done it already, I would. Post this on NASIOC it will be gone really quickly. From another fellow Impreza owner good luck GLWS.

Thanks. I actually posted it on Nasioc. I think its not selling because it's the end of the year and nobody has any money to spend. I've recently just posted it on non-subaru website to have a bigger market. Its a great car and still drive it everyday. God willing if I find the time I will fix it and keep it.
