Yea, no one really bought them new. If I recall they were special order as well. No one wanted a V6 family sedan with a 6-speed. Even though the 6-speeds came with bigger front brakes, strut bar and can accelerate to 60mph in under 6 seconds.
but no one cared

It is no secret, esp to auto manufacturers, that "enthusiasts" are the loudest and cheapest whiners that almost never walk the walk after all their talk. This is why I can't blame them for not building fun cars LOL~

Same guy is selling an 06 E46 M3 with 87,500 for $50K. If this is the same one that was being sold over the summer, it was $36K iirc

Alrighty, here's one that is calling out to me.
Wagon, 6MT, XWD (so the torque steer isn't quite so bonkers) Aero (turbo V6 with a ton of tuning potential) and even in a non-boring colour!
I'd sure want to see what the interior looks like, if it isn't wrecked this car ticks a lot of boxes. The hood needs some attention., I'd either try and repair it or just drive it till one turns up at a wrecker (that could take a while). It could be a great deal if one could grind the seller down a bit more but I think he knows what he's got! https://comoxvalley.craigslist.org/c...251996316.html
Rare car
170km
Clean interior
Needs work
Rare car
6speed stick
Summer rims bad tires
Aero package
Firm on price  | |

The ones in the ad look like General Altimax on winter wheels?

Wonder what else "Needs work" means. This is the kind of car I'd love to have kicking around as a 2nd car especially for just a few grand.

‘02 WRX, super clean for ~10k. Doesn’t sound like a deal, but considering bug eye / blob eye STi’s of similar condition are going for 25k, this seems like a fantastic daily if kept stock. Doubt you’d lose any money driving for a few years. Aftermarket gauge on the steering column warrants some digging, just to make sure this didn’t used to be heavily modded, or else it’s not worth near the asking. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...252328224.html   | |

The head gaskets. Needs to be replaced every 100k or so? Heard some turbo's also like to blow up, I had the anemic slow as molasses version so can't say for sure. I'm sure my old car is still kicking out here somewhere, was close to 300k when I sold it and it had zero signs of kicking the bucket.

Ah, yea. Maybe a better term is "Built like a Deathstar, but the vulnerable vent ports only expose themselves every 100k or so" LOL
I'm sure there's plenty other Subie enthusiasts here that are much more well-versed with these engines and can chime in since they've been around for what seems like eons now.

what blows my mind is a powertrain in production for like 25 years yet has a recent class action lawsuit for failures https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-...n%20settlement.
you would think they'd redesign from scratch at least 10 years ago

Considering how loyal Subaru owners are, I think they prefer to overlook it and consider it as a charming feature and part of the battle scars you earn that come along with Subaru ownership.
