That's quite a bit of money for a 12 year old car... BUT, it appears to be in very nice shape. It seems to be very tastefully modified, though you need to remember that it IS modified... which means an amateur has taken a wrench to it. That could suggest that some stupid things were done.

Those are very much in demand. They are extremely popular in the Subaru crowd, and IMO, it's one of the best looking Subarus ever built.


I'd say it's worth taking a look... but I'm wary of the modifications, the price, and the age.

2.5RS before boosted, very hard to find in good shape!
I say grab it then start hittin up 034motorsport.com
If you like something, lemme know, I will try to talk to my buddy Dan,
he is a salesman there.

I rarely see them boosted. I've seen quite a few of them around here.


If I had one... I'd definitely boost it!

being a subaru guy, i think thats worth the money for whats done to it. some of that stuff is hard to find, and expensive. a stock 2.5RS will sell for 6500 in good condition no problem.

for best reliability, swap in a wrx motor/trans and have ECS (east coast swappers) make you the conversion harness and the new motor will plug right in.

you think hondas are like legos? Subarus are that and then some. you can bolt a full sti driveline into that car with no real mods to the chassis. Ive got a sti 6 speed, diff, axles, rear knuckles and big gold brembo brakes on my 94 legacy wagon and it all bolted right in

My buddy was the project car for Vishnu, Shiv Pathak, when he was developing the turbo kit for this car.

It was truely amazing to ride in.

In that condition yeah its worth it. I had a 98 GF8 wagon. RS hood, RS bumper, RS sideskirts, sti calipers and rotors and pads. I love that car. It was my first autoX car. The only thing I hated about that car was the acordian shift boot. Man that was ugly to me. I'm trying to find another wagon now.
