    For sale is my 1998 Impreza L. Here is the scoop. The car is far from perfect, and is a salvage title. You can see there is rust in the normal spots this chassis gets it. Both rear fenders and roof line where the windshield meets the roof (see pictures). Has a 2.5RS front bumper, dash, center console and front and rear seats. Car has been one of our winter cars for the last few years, and was driven for a few weeks earlier this summer, otherwise the car just sits. As the car sits it is plasti dipped with clear plasti dip top coat. The plasti dip was done last fall and isn't perfect, there are some tears, and some areas are peeling. The car paint under the dip is black.

    Car is currently sitting on 06 wrx struts and springs, this raises the body as you can see. This was done on purpose as it was a winter only car. There is also a STi rear sway bar and endlinks installed, however I disconnected it for the winter use.

    The car was in a low speed front accident a few years back, and due to the value of the car my insurance company salvaged it, and I bought it back. Car was repaired by a family friend who who does body repair on the side. The front bumper has a couple cracks and doesn't line up perfectly.

    I believe the center differential is going out, there is a noticeable whine/noise when driving and turning. It was driven like this all of last winter, and we had no issues with it, however just want to give full disclosure on it. The transmission shifts fine, however 4th gear has been popping out of gear when the accelerator is let off.

    For some reason the ignition will not crank the starter, I was not able to figure this out, so a push button starter was installed. Its simple, and works great.

    The tires that are on it are toast, these will get you home, but not much more, they will need a new set.

    Again, far from perfect, and Im sure I am missing things, but if you want to come check it out and drive it around the block feel free to message me.

    Motor is solid, has some oil drips every now and then, and some piston slap. Never hesitated to take this car out and it has served us well, we just don't have the room for 5 cars.

    Feel free to ask any questions, I will be 100% honest about the car. My original plan was to turn this into a ice race/rally-x car, but another project found its way into my life. If anyone is looking into ice racing or rally x this would be a cheap car on a great platform to get you started.

    Price:$800
    Miles:202,655

    I am slightly interested, but I don't know for sure yet. I really want to rally cross and I would rather not do it with my WRX.

    Not sure if I will part it out. Its a great little car, If I had room for it I would keep it. If it doesnt sell, I will likely end up keeping it and eventually turn it into my rally x/ice racing car.
