Used Car of the Day: 1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS
Today we go back to the 1990s and bring you a 1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS.
This one is a bit rough -- there's obvious rust in the photos -- and the mileage is high at 276,000. This Arizona-based car has a five-speed manual transmission and some modifications.
Those include JDM tailights, clear headlights, carbon-fiber cubby trim, WRX seats, aftermarket CD player with Bluetooth, full-size spare, sport muffler, and leather shift knob and boot.
The seller says the engine runs well and the car is daily driven.
Apparently the power steering does leak, though, and a rusted-through exhaust is leading to the CEL being on.
There's also a dent on the body and the interior has a quarter-century of wear and tear.
There's a lot more copy -- this seller is the opposite of yesterday's. If you're interested, go take a look.
You can do so here. The ask here is $4,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Too bad it's the 2-door model. Dump the hood scoop and spoiler and make it look stock. Then have fun at stop lights!
