Well after 10 months+ of looking I finally found my new Lib today.. It was love at first sight and it was calm and felt right and just fell into place like we were meant for each other.. It is a mechanically stock 05/2007 Liberty GT. The only mechanical mod so far is a set of TEIN coilovers.. It's done 170,000ks and all recalls etc have been done. It had an overheating issue last year so the owner had the radiator and all the hoses replaced but it turned out it had the dreaded head gasket issue. Subaru mechanic replaced the head gaskets, skimmed the heads, new studs, timing belt etc etc and it goes very nicely for a stock car. The owner also had the McIntosh or whatever the stereo is called, removed and an Alpine system installed as well as new controls for the climate control installed as well as an amp under the passenger seat and some you beaut speakers mounted in the doors as well as a 12" sub box in the boot that sits the other side of the fold down middle seat.. It sounds awesome.. Crisp, clear and good base.. The seller is a bit of an audiophile. He had the car professionally detailed last week and it has come up like new. Not a scratch or dent on the entire surface and just the smallest of almost un-noticable gutter rash.. It has Re003 tyres in good condition on 18s with new T2 slotted rotors and new pads. I went over it with a fine tooth comb this afternoon and the only thing I could fault with it was the front inner drive shaft boot on the passenger side is split. the drivers side looks newish. it also has a blown brake light on the drivers side. but everything else is good. The seller was very happy that I thought the car was soooo well prepared and probably one of the nicest Libertys I have seen. He has already replaced it with a new BRZ which was very nice as well.. We hit it off very well and took it for a 30 minute test drive followed by a 10 minute drive in my blue rex.. He thought that was pretty awesome. He had never been in a truly quick car before. He couldn't stop smiling.. He also said I could have the Satnav unit that is on the dash which is a nice little bonus. I said I would get my own roadworthy and get the boot and what ever else sorted and he let me have the car for $8500... Couldn't be happier. It comes with full service history, the black and white slim line plates. full body kit, 2x weather shields, honeycomb grill, and all the old parts including grill and struts. Anyway.. this is the photo section so enjoy... Cheers...
So let the performance mods begin.. I am after a VF52, TBE , fuel pump, injectors and a tune so if anyone has any of those please let me know.. I am not sure what to do with the old struts but they may be of use for someone...
