    so i **** to be doing this, but ive come to a crossroads where its keep building my car, or put a down payment down for a house, so my wagon is up for sale. kbb is about 12,500, and the car has around 5 or 6k invested in it, so my asking price is $15,000 obo


    a little background on the car:

    Bought it in September of 09 bone stock as the 2nd owner from a couple in Philly with 44k on the clock. after being an idiot and speeding and doing all the dumb things with my honda before this, i decided to keep the build moderate so i wouldnt get into too much trouble hahha. that being said, i baby this car aside from the occasional rip on the highway, and playing with some twisty turns. the car was autocrossed for half a season, so about 5 or 6 days. i started building the suspension a lot when i was doing that, and decided to go into the "stanced" world. fast forward to now, and i want a home so shes up for sale :/ also, the car is lifted an inch and a half now from normal for the winter

    Ive been a tech at a subaru dealership for the past two years, and maintain the car more than subaru specifies, mainly because i get bored at work, but also because i wanted the car as reliable as possible since it has been my daily. oil changes have been done with subaru brand 5w30 synthetic every 2500-3000 miles. other service information is listed below in Misc..

    time for the fun stuff!
