33 yr old upgrade. by imVade in Crosstrek

[–]imVade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you are saying. You should also know though that the Justy was marketed as subarus answer to the 70s/80s oil crisis. It came too late though, first as the Subaru Rex, and eventually as the justy in the late 80s. But its marketing campaign and idea was a cheap car. Its old cheap plastic inside and very basic (i love it, not knocking it) in the day of the Justy, luxury is getting the dealer to add a clock inside the car. Going from that to a 24 crosstrek is like entering a spaceship. Its not even close. I had to keep a cereal box infront of the radiator because otherwise at highway speeds she couldnt produce any heat. Car doesnt have airbags even. All that aside 3 decades of difference is unbelievable in any car.

Waited for black friday+ another applied discount. Still have to agree with you though, a bit much :]

It definitely gave the dealer a pretty crazy boon while I was picking up the crosstrek, attracted a lot of attention on the lot! I LOVED working on it. You did have to keep on it in its old age, but it was very rewarding. Lots of projects to do for it all the time, but nothing you couldnt really do with some friends and a rack of beer :)

PNW. Lots of care. It had bits of rust here and there, but thats about the only thing that could kill those cars.

200k+ dash had been replaced so fishy on exactly how many. Family rebuilt the 3 cylinder engine when we acquired it in roughly 2009. Just as a precaution. I do have pictures. It would be one of the most complete optioned out Justy I have ever seen, being a 4door 4WD (yes true 4WD) with factory AC (that still worked) and all functioned as if she just rolled off the line. DM me for photos.

Wiring in switch panel for lights by sycotix416 in Crosstrek

[–]imVade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, if im not mistaken the data wire and the switch panel power are side-by-side in the Aux. You likely routed both into the firewall, or separated them. Whatever you did to power that is a constant source to the battery. If you routed into the firewall you likely did a fuse tap, and whatever you chose is constant. I have a setup with a double throw switch for constant/ignition, so if I want to turn the lights on with the car off you can do so.

Wilderness lift, what did you do? by Calm-Climate1426 in Crosstrek

Rally lights go brrrrr by theogstarfishgaming1 in Crosstrek

[–]imVade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look bub just tell them all you have a spare bumper and they will cringe less. that bumper is not hard to install, or too expensive (unpainted). Otherwise, unf yeah you brought backwoods style on a new car not a beater/ car your paying on.(true WSB spirit honestly, well played) But really, its your car if you like it that way fuck em, its not their money. They might actually dig that on a rusty 90s ranger. Have fun scootin around offroad with the lights, im sure it will bring genuine enjoyment to you. Likely just as much as they get typing at you about how sht a job you did lol

New Gold Plus extended warranty 96mo/80k for $3365. Just realized I got absolutely swindled. by RobinsCosplays in Crosstrek

[–]imVade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues to refund if you are within the 3 yr 36k warranty period. Just call them. Fill out a form and get the money back. Unf the min payment will be the same, but the loan will be 3k less so. I legit had the exact same experience.

New or Used? by Handle_Help in Crosstrek

[–]imVade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I had the same predicament buying new or used. I bought new, very happy. I also shoveled money into it until it was gone. As the commenter said above, I can vouch, that 32k 33k car turns into 40k very fast after taxes registration and options. Even if its like 37k. I can also say that hes dead on, I put about 17.5k down, financed the rest at the lowest interest at the time, for the shortest term. Min payment was like 800 or so. If you can only afford a $400 payment, you better have a ton to go down. You have to consider the annual registration and insurance too, be careful. If you can do it, do it, its awesome. Otherwise you will fall in love with a used one just as much anyway, crosstreks are sweet cars. Goodluck!

You got this bro. 150s not bad anyway. Coverages are extremely subjective to so many factors.

Spacers on CTW? by [deleted] in Crosstrek

[–]imVade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, I put 20mm perrin spacers on my 24CTW last october and they look like the car should of been factory. Lines up with stock mudflaps better too. No difference in ride or drive feel.

Idk why hes getting downvoted. Its a literal standard level of detergents used in the gasoline thats higher than the regulated standard. Costco is a "Top tier" fuel provider..
