    I purchased this car last year so we would have a second vehicle while wife was home with newborn. Previous owner was in southern WI and said car spent majority of it's life in South Carolina. Unfortunately I did not receive any maintenance history with the car other than an invoice of a headgasket replacement in 7/2012 done in Chicago. Wife is now back to work and we carpool so no need for a second vehicle.

    The car has never been modified as far as I can tell. It has been very reliable for the last 7k miles including a few 500 mile trips. Only issue I've encountered is a small coolant leak when it gets cold outside. I was worried it was HG again but appears to be something else. I drained the coolant and it looked brand new, oil is also free of coolant and it does not leak when temperatures are above freezing. PO did not tell me about this so just want to be transparent to any potential new owner.

    Exterior
    - Peeling/fading clear coat from front doors forward and roof
    - new windshield
    - very little rust (most of rust is around windshield but tech who changed windshield said it wasn't too bad underneath seal)
    - body very clean and straight overall given age

    Interior
    - pretty clean with exception of cracked dash cubby
    - OE all weather mats from our outback
    - new pioneer head unit and 4 new speakers (nothing fancy but sounds better than the 4 blown speakers it had previously)

    Drivetrain
    - runs strong in all gears
    - noticed a slight hesitation at WOT b/w 4100-4600 rpm
    - side to side slop in shifter (shifts fine but needs new linkage bushings)
    - pesky P0420 check engine light
    - 400 miles per tank/26 mpg city driving

    Misc
    - ice cold A/C
    - hot heat
    - cruise control works
    - dash lights/button back lights work (replaced a few last year)
    - all season tires have plenty of life left
    - can include steelies with excellent continental snow tires for additional $$

    Pretty sure this is sold. Not to creep.... But judging by the pics, OP lives down the street from me and I drive past daily... Haven't seen the RS.

    Hey, if the snow tires did not go with car... I'd be interested in them.
