Album with 59 full-resolution photos:
Only selling because of an upcoming international move. Car truly needs nothing – it is fully turn-key ready. Title is clean, clear, in my name, and in-hand. Accident-free Carfax report is available on request. Maintenance records since new will be attached –– the oil has been changed at least 38 times. Timing belt service was completed at 100k miles. The car is Garnet Red Pearl with an Ivory leather interior. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Available for viewing now in the Madison, WI area (Chicago and Milwaukee are not so far). We have owned this car for nearly 5 years. Prior to our ownership it was a Seattle car so there is absolutely zero rust on the car. It was washed religiously at a weekly interval throughout every winter spent in Wisconsin. Underbody photos are attached.

Interior is in very good condition. No rips or tears or undue wear to any of the leather or carpet –– the car is very clean inside and out. Honestly the car is like new in almost every way. Brand new Nokian snow tires installed less than one thousand miles ago (oldest date code is 3120).

Mechanical:
10/10. We have never had a single issue with the engine, transmission, diffs, brakes, suspension, etc, and have had everything impeccably maintained by the local Subaru dealer. The head gaskets were preemptively replaced with new gaskets from Six Star, which solves the issues the OEM gaskets had. Timing belt service was completed at 100k miles. A/C blows cold and strong. We would not hesitate (and have not hesitated) to immediately take this car on full cross country trips to very remote locations.

Electrical:
9+/10. Everything works as it should. One of the bulbs behind the fuel gauge indicator has burnt out but that should be a cheap and easy fix –– didn't really bother us. One other minor issue was reported by the previous owner (and not verified by us) – sometimes the sunroof needs manual assistance to close fully. As a result we have always treated the sunroof as a fixed window and have never attempted to operate it.

Exterior:
9/10. Red Benjy is a great looking car with good paint. A couple of minor parking lot dings are present on the doors. I drove over some freshly painted yellow lines on the road about two weeks into owning the car so there may still be some yellow spatter visible in places. Body and undercarriage are completely free of rust –– please see photos.

Interior:
10/10. The interior is very clean with no undue odors of any kind present. We do not smoke and do not have pets. The seats, shifter, and steering wheel are all pristine. The carpets are in good condition, if a little darker than I think they may have been originally. We have had rubber floor mats installed since we bought the car –– Husky in the front, Weathertech in the center, and OEM Subaru in the trunk. They will be included with the vehicle.

Included Extras (not pictured):

• 1x OEM steel spare wheel (no tire mounted), never run.
• 4x Nokian WRG3 all-weather tires with 40% tread remaining. These are what we ran for our entire ownership (summer and winter) and they perform excellently. The snow tread is limited to the top 60% of the tire so we replaced them for this winter with a brand new set of dedicated winter tires – Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8s. The old tires still have at least one year of spring/summer/fall use left in them, probably two.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! I’d be very happy to speak with you.

Will give priority to buyers with a flexible timeline. SALE IS PENDING (deposit received)
