    The basics: I ordered this car in April of 2011 and took delivery of it in June of 2011. All service has been done at Morries Subaru in Minnetonka, with oil changes at 1k miles and then every 3k after using Subaru filters and Shell Rotella oil. I did have the 15k mile service done so the cabin air filter has been changed and the brakes serviced. It's been garage kept every night and washed multiple times per week. Those of you who know me know how particular I am about my cars and taking care of them.

    More info:

    2011 WRX Premium 5 Door
    Satin White Pearl
    21500 miles (climbing daily, it's a commuter car)
    Cloth interior
    Heated Seats/Wipers
    SPT Exhaust (Also have stock exhaust to go with car)
    STI V-Limited Spoiler (NIB, not installed)
    Rear Bumper Protector
    All Weather Floormats
    Cargo area liner
    Stock Dunlop tires replaced with Michelin Pilot Super Sports less than 2k miles ago at Morries Minnetonka (Due to tire damage, I picked up a bolt on 494 coming home from work and had to replace all 4)
    General Altimax Arctics on 2001 RS rims (painted bronze, could use a respray if you want to go with a different color) with less than 10k miles on them. Rims have Subaru TPMS sensors installed, when you switch the rims the dealership can scan the new TPMS code in so you don't have to deal with the light in the dash.
    Flapatax Flaps
    Fog Lights
    Sunroof
    Red Taillight Overlays done by Chris at Flawless Front Ends
    Enough clear bra to sink a battleship: Entire front end (Complete front bumper, headlights, front of hood, front of fenders), rocker panels, lower 1/3 of the doors, A Pillars, leading edge of the roof, all 4 door pockets, each rear view mirror cap, behind the rear wheels, strips lining the exposed edges of the wheel wells all done by Chris at Flawless Front Ends
    Stage 1 tune done by Nuke at 10k miles
    The windshield was replaced in April by Brand New Auto Glass with a Subaru windshield thanks to a rock on 494. Because of the heating elements I made sure they used OEM glass.

    Why am I selling it? With all the commuting I do I'd like to get into something a bit quieter inside and a bit cushier. I've actually got my sights set on a Taurus SHO at the moment. Quiet, quick and an automatic are all looking very attractive, and the massaging heated and cooled seats make a persuasive argument. Pricewise, I've seen a number of these on Autotrader in this price range but without the extras so I'm willing to entertain offers but lowballers will be invited to the next MNSubaru Shoot to hold targets.

    Shoot me a PM on here or a text, my number is Seven Six Three - Seven Four Two - Eight Three Five Zero. Any questions, just ask.

    Thanks!

    EDITED BY READYMIX: **Price dropped to 25.5k**

    On the plus side, EcoBoost.

    I do not approve this message! WTF Brian!?:banghead:

    In light of things, if you are looking for a cleaner, slightly used SWP WRX...good luck! Brian takes immaculate care of his vehicles.

    GLWS brotha...sad to see it go.

    Don't worry Josh, just because the car is going away doesn't mean I am ;)

    Also, don't knock them until you try them. That EcoBoost V6 is a torque monster.

    Curry, if I can I'll sell it with the winters that are on there now since I can vouch for those. We'll see how it goes, I'll keep you posted.

    I know that you're not going anywhere!:coffee: And I also know about the Taurus SHO(superHO)lol...i've had a thing for them since the mid nineties! They are pretty sweet cars. But Shorten and Subaru are like peanut butter and jelly, they just belong together.;) Jus sayin.

    It's ok Max, I already have my sights set on a couple of nice ones. I found a 2010 certified pre-owned with 8600 miles that I would love to get my hands on. :)

    Bump for a price drop. 26.5k OBO.

    Can I get a mod to change the title and first post to reflect the drop?

    Well, I'm a Ford owner now:

    http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=55427&endYear=2013&keywords=sho, navigation&modelCode1=TAURUS&driveCode=4WD|AWD&startYear=1981&makeCode1=FORD&listingType=used&keywordsfyc=sho, navigation&searchRadius=500&maxPrice=28000&bodyStyleCodes=SEDAN&listingId=323126563

    It should be getting here sometime next week.

    Price drop to 25.5k with everything, otherwise I'll be putting the stock exhaust back on and selling the snow tires/wheels, SPT exhaust and SPT V-Limited lip spoiler seperately and trading the car. Mods, please edit the title.

    Thanks!

    I'd like to see it go to someone local here on the club, but so far I haven't gotten much for bites. I'm not crazy about putting it Craigslist because I don't feel like sorting through 10 scam responses to find one decent one.

    Just realized I'd never had it changed.

    I sold mine on cl and got a ton of serious interested people. I tend to try and weed people out via email to reduce the person to person interaction with dufuses and crazies.

    I also sold my last car on Craigslist. I got about two dozen e-mails the first night. I replied to probably 20 of them that looked legit, and then followed up with the ones that seemed like the least hassle. The buyer met at the public place of my choosing (5 minutes from my house) and the car was sold and I had cash in my hand about 20 hours after I listed it.

    I choked and almost died laughing when I read this. Actually, I'm ok with it as I'd been considering going the CarSoup route as well. I'm going to hold off on putting an ad up until the car arrives so I'll have something to drive while I wait to sell the WRX. If it gets sold on here beforehand, no big deal. Karen and I can figure something out while the car is in transit.

    I have a great CL story. One of my Coworkers is selling his Wife's car and had a lady call him and let him know that she was interested in the car. After chatting for a while she asked him if he would accept oral sex as partial payment for the car! WTF!

    I'd toss her a $10 discount, assuming no teeth.

    Have you considered making Shorten this sort of offer Sheen? You could have your own Subaru again, at a nice discounted price.

    Sheen's performance wouldn't get 10 dollars, and I'm speaking from experience. He hates the feeling of balls on his face.

    Subaru? No thanks. Too fast too bicurious.

    It's the tickling sensation more than anything else.

    If there wasn't a sacrifice involved, it wouldn't be a good discount. Remember that for next time.

    Are you planning on purchasing this vehicle?

    You'll get over it. It's called creative thread bumping. I tried to keep it clean, but Shorten wanted more. Blame him.
