Meet Rex. Say hi Rex! No? Oh…ok then.

First off, what's with the soccer ball?
Ball is life. It likes to play fetch. I don't know.
Does it run?
I mean, it rolls. Hard to run without legs…
Ohhh! You mean the engine? Of course it does! It sounds lumpy, but that is how the Subaru, and consequently, the Rex does. Stick a large enough exhaust on it for maximum enjoyment of its unequal length stock headers. Your neighbours will hear you coming from miles away. They will love and praise you for waking them up as your car sings the song of its people.
Seriously, they will be crying tears of joy….or it could be rage. Probably rage, but let’s pretend it’s joy.
Just how healthy is it?
As healthy and strong as a horse. Or rather 265 of them. Gets pretty good mileage for its size too. As low as 7.8L/100km on the highway and slightly higher in the city, especially if you don't stomp on it.
All service intervals up until now have been performed. Sadly, Rex has a propensity to eat paper, and we left his service records out one day. They are now gone, but Rex is healthier than ever.
It doesn’t have any STi’s. (It doesn’t like them either.)
Has it been in any way modified?
This car is completely unmolested…Ok, I’m lying. One thing that has been done is that I put a Kartboy short-throw shifter and polyurethane shift bushings in it (you’ll thank me for this). Otherwise completely and utterly unmolested. A blank canvas for whatever you want to do. It’s ready to continue on in its stock ways, or for you to put bags on it and drop it to the floor (Please don’t. If you do, I don’t want to hear about it.)
How would you rate the condition of the exterior?
Well, it’s 6 years old, and it has spent all of that time on Alberta’s highways, and with all the lifted trucks and semis throwing rocks in its face, I’d say Rex looks pretty good. I mean, he won’t win any beauty competitions, but he will find the winner, beat them up, and steal the crown.
So I’d say 7/10. There are scratches and dings, especially around the front, that have started to rust slightly. May need a new windshield though.
What about the interior?
Interior is definitely an 8/10! There is a scratch on the moulding around the radio, rear cargo area is scratched a bit, and some staining on the driver-side backrest, but that’s pretty much it!
What about cargo space?
Drive with 4 passengers! Put groceries in the trunk! Or vice versa (fitting 4 passengers in the baggage area may be difficult though). Fold the rear seats down and you can fit a bike and various sundries in there. Or put it on the included roof bars (bike rack isn’t included).
You say it’s an Alberta car. What makes it so good for our climate?
Perfect for Alberta winters? Is it ever! The first thing you should know is the AWD system is the same stuff Audi uses in their racecars. Don’t believe me? Look it up. I’ll wait. It has heated seats. Heated seats! For maximum comfort when getting into your car when it’s 30 below outside. Or 30 above if you like being extra warm. It also has fog lights for those mean blizzards! Fog lights go on, fog lights go off. Fog lights go on…well you get the idea. It also has an engine block ehater to keep the oil nice and toasty while you sleep and visions of sugarplums dance in your head.
And in the summer its amazing handling allows you to avoid ALL the potholes, or drive through them (which this car hasn’t done yet) with its incredible ride height.
Entertain me.
No. But Rex will! Seeing as how in our amazing province it takes hours to reach anywhere, the 6 CD changer will keep you entertained for however long it needs to. Got an AUX cable? Great! Rex has a port for that!
If it’s this amazing, why are you selling?
Because we don’t drive Rex as much as we used to, and want someone else to experience how awesome he is!
How firm are you on price?
Well, there’s always some leeway, and I am willing to negotiate. Cool magic tricks a plus!
Ok, cool. What if I roll up with lowball offer in cash and say that you have it right there and I should just give you the car?
Then I’ll say I’m in no hurry to sell. Seriously. Why do people even do this? Take off, eh? (I will also offer to buy whatever is most precious to you with whatever I have in my pocket. Fair warning.)
I see at least 10 other WRX’s for sale on Kijiji from the same year. Why is this one special?
Uhhh….84,000km on the clock? That’s like 70% mileage for 90% the price (I gotta eat too). Is that not reason enough? I’ll sweeten the deal. If you really want to pay another $2000, I’ll throw in the soccer ball for free. It is the pride of my highschool project making days.
So I brought you the correct amount of monetary imbursement, and have bought your car. What’s next?
Drive to Argentina! And back! Go do a rally! Go clubbing! Drop your kids off at the soccer game and say you’ll watch when you’re actually doing one of the first three things!
0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds or thereabouts. Faster than any cop car, that’s for sure. And more space than a Lambo or Ferrari. You’ll have a bigger fuel tank, so you’ll probably go further than your buddies in super cars. So if you’re ever involved in a chase with them, they’ll run out of gas first, allowing you to take the first dirt road out of there to freedom.
I'm buying this for my son/daughter. Is this a responsible/good idea?
Yes. Maybe. No. I don't know. No comment. (Manual means they can’t text and drive though!)
Will this car get me many dates with the opposite(or same) sex?
Sure. At least I think it will. Haven’t tried. Please report back with your findings.
Is silver the only colour I can get it in?
For now yes. But if you want to respray it, go ahead! I’ll give you the soccer ball if you make it all the colours of the rainbow! Rename it Skittles! Yay Skittles! (Spoiler, the car tastes like metal, rubber, oil, and road)
Anything else I should know about your car?
Just come see it! It’ll be happy to see you! At least I think it will be. I haven’t seen it change expression in the 4 years that it’s been in the family. (No, it won’t make any puddles). In any case, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about it. Call, text, email, pm (my phone is slightly on the fritz right now, so if you can’t get through to me that way, try email).
