4th time's a charm, right?

http://www.sprintspeed.com/25rs.jpg

I'm selling my 2000 RS coupe, silver, 5-speed, 85,000mi. No accidents, no rust, no mods except a K&N air filter. Has the tape/cd, armrest extension, Toyo T1-S, Hella fogs, and it's always had Mobil1 synthetic.

$10,500 KBB Good condition

The car has been cross country six times, it's very faithfull. My commute to work is 60mi each way, all NJTP. Thus the high mileage. It's been to Subaru for the wheel bearing recall/service notice, and the front O2 sensor replacement, papers to prove it.

One little scratch on the DS front bumper, my ex swiped it against another car. Only the paint came off, the plastic was not affected (niether scored or dented), and it is in plain view in the photo.

Vin# JF1GM6757YG401271 for those of you who wish to check it out. Please feel free to email me or post here with questions. I've posted this three times over the past months, each time I let the thread die when a buyer seemed serious. This time I will not hold the car for anyone, period. I'm located in New Jersey and am willing to bring it almost anywhere for the sale. Even Cali! (Cue Biggie)

Ttt.

Good guy and nice car. Someone by it.

Greg, give me a call when you get less busy. :lol: <--I just made a joke :D

i dunno, but someone better jump on them all! (mine included!)

Mine is this price because of the mileage, even though the car is otherwise great.

Its funny how the RS' value has dropped like a rock recently...it really sucks for us sellers :(.

man, the three of us need to start an "RS-for-sale" forum... :p

Wonder if I dropped an USDM EJ20 into her and jacked the price to say $17,000, would there be more response?

I rolled my car a week a half ago and I now miss my rs horribly badly. I am interested only catch is I am in Canada. I am interested though. PM me if you are intersted I will research getting it across the border.

are you interested in shipping the car? (sounds like you are...)

if so, i'm VERY interested...just need to talk to the bank to get some extra *bling bling* thrown my way, ASAP.

EDIT/i'm assuming the interior looks as nice as the rest of the car... ;) :D

A friend of mine is looking for an RS, but it is hard to find something locally.

Good luck with the sale.

I'm in Jersey too.. where are you located? I'm in North East Bergen County.

I live in Matawan, kinda by the Brunswicks. I work in Hainesport, kinda by Cherry Hill. I'm leaving for Florida this weekend, and as soon as I return anyone interested is more than welcome to arrange a time to see the car.

I will gladly arrange shipment of the car, but the buyer will need to foot the bill. If the timing is right, I'd drive it to the buyer to save them money.

The interior is also very clean, with just one small blemish on the passenger door trim. It's a little scratch, smaller than a pecil's eraser, and it's hidden from view by the passenger seat.

I don't have my PMs on b/c they used to fill up before I could reply and delete them. But I'm fairly religous about answering emails. Anyone who wants to speak with me (ohmigosh, human contact!) I will gladly email you with my phone number.

On Thursday night, I developed a severe hatred for deer.

http://www.sprintspeed.com/deer1.jpg

Notice the headlight, and grill are pushed back. The hood is bent, blinker vanished, and the Hella got the hoof.

http://www.sprintspeed.com/deer2.jpg

Bent headlight surround.

http://www.sprintspeed.com/deer3.jpg

Upon closer inspection, the bent sheetmetal didn't contact the A/C. Thank god!

http://www.sprintspeed.com/deer4.jpg

Straightened the sheetmetal, installed new headlight. Notice how the headlight lines up correctly with the bumper.

http://www.sprintspeed.com/deer5.jpg

New headlight, new Hella's, new corner lamps.

http://www.sprintspeed.com/deer6.jpg

Here the seam between the fender and hood can be seen back to original specs.

http://www.sprintspeed.com/deer7.jpg

I did everything possible to avoid the deer, which amounted to nothing. While avoiding deer #2, I looked over to the shoulder to spot up my escape route. The very first thing I focused on was deer #3. The deer took it like a champ. I think she was falling as the car hit her because she hit at bumper level, and she was easily 5 or 6 feet tall. Lucky for her, a few minutes of flopping around on the road was all she suffered, as she jumped up and took off for the woods in a healthy sprint.

To those interested in the car: I am lowering the price to $10,000 because there is a small bend in in the hood that I couldn't get out although I don't have a full blown autobody shop at my disposal. That price break is enough to fix & paint the hood.

With four cars, I probably shouldn't have been driving the RS, but hindsight is always 20/20.

TTT </damn deer>

It's been to Subaru for the wheel bearing recall/service notice

What was this? I have an MY00 RS, and the delearship never sent me anything about this. Where can I find out about it?

This is a VERY reasonable price for an RS. If I didn't already have one, I would definitely pick this one up.

-Wes

The wheel bearing problem doesn't affect all RSs, but the ones it does usually need a couple replaced. The reason is that the replacement bearing is very sensitive to misalignment in the hub, and the hurried technicians usually don't take the time neccessary to install it properly. I see and hear about this all the time at RalliSpec. The easy fix is to use a Legacy bearing which is tapered by design.

Man, I REALLY WANT YOUR CAR!!!!! Hope that I get approved for that loan and I can find someone to buy my scooby. That really sucks about the deer, never had it happen to me, only a porkypine (sorry 'bout the spelling) hit my RR tire, coulda been worse.

Lol. "porkypine"

Its funny because I know some people that say that word exactly like you spelt it.

I may be intrested.

It's been to Subaru for the wheel bearing recall/service notice

Was this an actual recall/service bulletin or did you just take it in because it went bad? Aren't all Impreza wheel bearings the same? So if it is a recall/service bulletin it should include everyone, at least that's what I would think. :confused:

I'm not sure what it's classified as, but every dealership I've been to (3) knew they were suspect parts and replaced it without haste. As far as I know, all AWD 95-01 Imprezas have the same bearing, and it's my understanding that the installation method "sometimes" damages the bearing. Legacy bearings (a tappered design) aren't nearly as affected by this supposed faulty installation. This is what I have heard from the various dealers the car has been too.

Not to confuse this situation any further, but if no one buys this car by the time I finish my USDM 2L turbo awd 95 wagon project, the wagon will go up for sale and this RS will become the project car. Anyone need a 350hp wagon?

actually, greg... depending on when you finish th project, and how my finances are (and if i ever sell my RS too ;)), i may want that crazy wagon. :)

peter

I'll keep you posted!

Quick details:
'00 RS, 5 speed, K&N replacement air filter, WRX front brakes, Mobil 1 engine/trans/diff fluid, Hella's, 86,000mi, $10,000.

Please read my posts in this thread for a complete outline of this car.

Ooh! Me, me!:D Greg, You said its a USDM WRX based swap? Last time I saw it, it was out front with the primered jdm alum hood...How far is it from being finished? It would be a shame for you to do a whole project, only to sell it just to start another, but at least you'd have the satisfaction of selling it to me!:D Please drop me an email if you do end up putting the wagon up for sale.

Thanks,

Mark

Annointed: You've got replied email!

Still for sale...(snoring)

I live all the way out in cali. If I could see it, I'd be intrested, but Id have to be able to see it(and I doubt you wanna drive ALL the way here, just so I can see your car)

I could take a whole bunch of pictures for you. If you then thought it was a done deal, I'd be happy to deliver it, as I used to live in S.L.O. and would like to visit again. Pictures?

Found a couple of RS's. I think this could be the closest.
Sent you an email.

(snoring.....) Plenty of interested parties, no one seems 100% serious. Ok, I give in, you can have my ex-girlfriend, just please, buy the car!

I will consult my father(he doesnt really care on what Iget, hes just helping me with my project), and if you still have the car by Wensday/Thursday(he gets back from the trip hes on on Wensday) I will give u an update.

PS:whats the ex look like, and is it possible to deliver with the car;)

Man, this is getting juicier by the minute. If only I was on the market for an RS.

Free bump for a great guy and a very sweet ride...Greg, I have to ask, why did you change over to WRX brakes? IIRC, WRX comes with 289 mm rotors, which are probably a little larger than RS rotors, but otherwise, aren't the twin piston calipers virtually the same? Interesting...the simple fact that the likes of Greg Sharpe changed out his RS brakes for WRX brakes makes me glad I've sourced a WRX brake package for my Legacy, and not an RS package.:D

Mark

Greg you willing to drop the price a lil more.
I'll jump on the offer is the price is right.
I live in DE and got the cash from an insurance claim, DAMN THIEVES!
Well Email me, PM, or reply back on this post.

dude, greg's price is damn good. if people realized exactly how many (or how few) RS's were produced, they would change their tune...

bump for ya, greg... i feel your pain. :D (sold my RS on saturday, took 2 months!)

peter

Thanks for the kind words and free bumps! I changed over to the WRX brakes (rotors and caliper brakets) because the original rotors began to warp and since I had to get new rotors the WRX rotors were a logical upgrade. That's all. On a side note, I'm still on the original brake pads, @ ~80,000mi!

Sorry that I can't go down on the price, there's a loan issue here. The price is at KBB "good" value, nothing excessive about it.

could you send me some pictures to d0gsoup@aol.com? i'm in nyc brooklyn

As soon as I take some more pictures they'll get posted here and I'll email them out too. But to get right down to it, it is just a silver RS.

Sent you email.

bumpity, bump

oh my god greg!
i cant believe you're still selling your rs! 10K is quite the sweet deal.
you can't sell your uber wagon man, i still have to teach you the secret wagon hanshake and all that fun stuff :) tho if annointed buys it it would be good for him to have a hybrid again.
i may be calling you guys(rallispec) soon to make an appointment hopefully for april, so if you have your wagon there i would love to check it out. oh and let me know if you want those seats, they've been sitting in queens for awhile now. stay cool man and for god's sakes man, good luck with the sale of car.

:cool:-Lou:cool:

PS: maybe all you rs guys trying to sell can start some sort of a support group or something. ie: My name is greg, and my car has been unsold for 9 months and 12 days.....[everyone else] HI GREG...

I'm interested and sent you an email

Alan

wes

Wes, your "roughed up" Jeep might be worth something to me! I'm emailing you, again.

22 Lou, where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?

The KBB book value on the car has fallen to $9,500. Any takers? Thanks to whomever it was that pointed out the depreciation over the last few months.

ok i have just recieved my 10k loan in the mail i've got the money and the interest .. my name is david gibson i live in dallas texas and i want a sub BAD!!!!!!!!! i know u YOU ARE FED UP WITH TRYING TO SELL IT... so i will be serious send me pics of the stuff thats wrong with the car and a couple of pics of the car that make it look good... i have tried so long to find a car like this i even told a guy in cali i give him 2k over his asking price if he would drive to texas and he said NO!!! call me 214 435 7017 or email rockwallorange@yahoo.com....talk to me greg i want to buy i have been without a car for a month it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

The only thing wrong with the car, worth showing, is the small bend in the hood and that picture is in this thread. I even documented the repairs made after I bumped into the deer, it's all on here. The only other blemishes are as follows: a small, pencil eraser sized poke hole in the passenger side interior door panel which won't show up in pictures because it's all black; and the scrape on the front bumper which is shown in the pics on this thread.

I'll give you a call later today, as you are 2 hours behind the east coast??? I can probably call you around 5-6pm your time.

THANK YOU! :D

Thanks for letting me know. Did you snag the Cobb Edition Impreza that you told me about?

Damn!

Greg ... you should throw a WRX engine in it and keep it! Throw on those Gold 16's that are in your shop, and you'll have a hell of a car.

BTW ... tell Dave my WRX is running like a dream after the re-flash.

Allan

Glad to hear your car is running great again. We can't wait to see your STi!

The reason I'm selling the RS is to fund an old wagon project, it's getting a USDM WRX engine, and a few goodies!

I've even offered to put a USDM WRX engine in the RS, just to make it more appealing to potential buyers. No one is seriously conisdering it.

i'd be interested, if i didn't live in CA. do you have a price with the WRX swap?

Nah, I haven't sat down to figure out the exact costs. However, just to ball park it for you: The 2.5RS $9,500 + the conversion $6,500 = ~$16,000. The engine is a freshly rebuilt USDM WRX 2L, STi Ver.7 valves and springs, new gaskets, 0 miles, everything else would be original equippment. Of course I could build other mods into it if you so desired. I've got a brand new VF22, STi injectors, Bosal DP, etc piled up for the wagon project which could go into the RS.

I used to live in California, so I would drive it out to you and visit my peoples at the same time, if you were so inclined.

yo im looking for an rs. If you could send me some pictures to my email adress that would be great. OMG we live across the country from each other cali.

talk about bringing up old threads!.........i think greg finally sold his car............
