2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS GC8 Sedan

Quote:
$3500 - I've already put $8k into it this spring to fix it up (I'm stupid and I love Subarus), so I'm taking a loss. Consider the price firm.

MY00 GC6 5MT RS sedan (Canadian), Blue Ridge Pearl
power windows, doors, and sunroof (no leaks)
car: 223,000 km (combination city and highway)
engine: 113,000 km (swapped in from a salvage yard a few months ago)
clean title, vindetector history report available upon request
Selling because I upgraded

full service records since I bought it in Feb. 2005
got roughly 22mpg (10.7 L /100km) before swapping the block
15" Subaru aluminum w/ Nokian WR G3 (100%)
ABS, sunroof, AC, PW
debadged

Recent replacements:
- salvaged engine block w/ 113k on it
- all new seals & gaskets (intake/exh, rear main, oil pan, valve cover)
- new timing belt, tensioner, idlers, and water pump
- new knock sensor
- new front and rear O2 sensors
- new clutch & bearings
- flywheel machined
- new battery
- newish front and rear cats
- new centre pipe
- new all four shifter bushings
- new engine mounts
- new tranny mount (brand new but throttle on/off still feels like a soft mount...)
- new both headlights
- new WRG3 tires (~95%)
- shocks & springs (from a used STi - you'll want to re-grease these)
- calipers (replaced with a used set in great condition)

Upgrades:
- (pink) STi struts and springs (you'll want to have them re-greased though)
- calipers and hubs have been painted (hi-temp black)
- SS lines
- Scoobysport (the original version, but it was torched off and re-welded by an idiot at the exhaust shop for compliance when brought from Alberta)
- short shift, momo knob
- momo pedals
- aftermarket (basic w/ MP3) stereo
- Ravelco installed
- K&N air filter
- DIY grounding


Old age issues:
- radiator appears to be in great shape, thankfully
- typical quarter panel rust spots have been repaired (cut-out and bondo)
- missing fog lights
- weak rear window motors
- sometimes weak sunroof motor
- pinhole leak at bottom of rear window
- small paint chips, clearcoat peeling off scoop, some bad touchups
- replacement board under the trunk carpet
- windshield has no cracks but a couple tiny chips and a fair bit of roughness
- interior is in great shape
- sizeable dent behind driver front wheel while parked (very recently, while the car was awaiting engine repair)
- original tranny jammed several years ago and was replaced with a salvage tranny (which had 87,000km)
Another consideration for the GC8 shopper

inspect it closely. ex-alberta car with body damage and rust history (the bondo part worries me) and a known interior water leak that hasn't been fixed are cause for concern.

From the ad;

For those who know about this car, you know what this car can do.
Like what? Barely keep up with cars that cost 1/5th the price?

Stupid statement from the seller, but the performance is irrelevant. Same can be said for many older p cars that cost 100k-250k. Only 500 22B's were made, certainly a collector's car. That car will only appreciate in the years to come.

its more than likely a fake. there was also never a 3rd gen TL-S A-spec, this is just a type s with an a-spec kit and wheels. the 2nd gen is the only one that came from factory as a TL-S A-spec.



i had one just like it. god damn do i ever miss that car and the little lights in the spoiler.

i just assumed what the seller said in the description (ie: "a-spec package") meant wheels and kit...

i never knew about the lights in the spoiler! what do they do? are they just running lights or turn signals?
