    Car's story and reason for selling: (VIN UP ASAP)

    Due to my commute for work being very long, i have to sell my 2003 WRX wagon and get something that better fuel mileage (like 40+). Last spring the car started idling odd, and after doing some trouble shooting we found that compression was lost on the front passenger side cyl. Upon taking the engine out and apart we found the problem to be a burnt valve due to spring failure.

    I spent many months trying to find a good set of WRX heads that didn't have cracks in them. I finally did find a set and had them inspected, cleaned and machined at M&J in fargo. The engine was then reassembled with new waterpump/oil pump/timing tensioner/timing belt by a local aircraft mechanic (father in-law). The engine has all new gaskets and no leaks. Trans was flushed and filter changed at this time as well. Turbo inspected, within spec, little to no play.

    The car has:
    150k miles
    Auto trans
    stock WRX wheels, with decent all season tires on them, not the best, but okay
    Double din in dash DVD player with override (so you can watch while driving)
    K&N intake

    The car is in pretty good shape for being 8 years old and 150k miles on it. It could use new tires but can roll as it is, and has a few scratches/blemishes on the exterior, but nothing out of the ordinary for a car of its age. Interior is very nice. The A/C system is all in there and was working fine when the motor was taken out, didn't recharge upon re-installing the motor as i'm not using A/C a whole lot this time of year. Wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere, but need a super mileage car. All major systems work fine, just needs some detail stuff to be perfect. I live in Grand Forks ND, but would be willing to meet up for serious buyers.

    Pros:
    Recently rebuilt top end
    Recently replaced water pump/oil pump/tensioner/timing belt
    DVD player?
    Clean interior
    Trans shifts great
    Cargo cover!

    Cons:
    A/C isn't charged/working
    Could use tires
    Crack in Windshield
    CEL is on for front 02 sensor, hasn't bothered the car at all
    Passenger side foglight out (comes with a set of hella 500's)
    Steeringwheel is off center by a few degrees, but the car tracks straight.

    Price: KBB lists the car in good condition for 6,700

    NADA lists the car at 6,000 clean trade in

    I see the car falling somewhere in the middle, and with the recent work performed on it, it should be good to go for a long time. I'm looking for $5,750 obo. Great opportunity to get into a good wrx with solid drivetrain for cheap.
