(Yes I already have one) Nonetheless, how is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! w/ 5MT and 254k on the dash just. so. damn. clean?

It’s somehow a NY car with apparently zero rust (or least it was on 1/1/15, when these photos were shot).

Clean all around. Like shockingly.

Holy possible Saabaru mileage record.

The only way a EJ205 engine hits 254k is if someone meticulously maintains it. Like an overly-educated Saab owner. (The problem is WRX owners tend to do not that, instead dedicating their mad tyte jdm $$ to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , flat brimmed hats, monster energy drink, and MOAR MODS.)

Seller States: “There is a crack in the windsheild once bought it will be replaced.” It is unclear from the ad who is paying for that replacement.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Satin Grey, Manual, Aeros.

That being said the $4500 has me torn. Thoughts?

A hair pricey, but if you want an oddball....

Selling before the HG goes.

Never an issue on that engine. Would’ve been on a 2.5 Non-Turbo, and would’ve gone 130-140k ago. Ask me how I know...

if it were a unicorn (06 Aero 5MT) maybe, but this is too much. Especially considering it will probably need a short block relatively soon. I had an 05, drove to NY from DE to buy it and a mile from home it spun a bearing. Luckily covered by NY’s generous used car warranty it got a factory short block.

Obstensibly, but everyone I know with one blows their HG at roughly 250k like clockwork. I don’t think that the HG issue was limited to the 2.5 NAs. I think it was just worse on those.

Very nice, and seemingly stock, but wow that’s some high mileage. This is something that might get you $1,000 at CarMax (not that I'm using them as a basis). I could see $3k for this.

Must be dyno miles.

I’m looking for a good one of these... Unfortunately they seem to be more expensive and especially rare with MT in the Vancouver area...
