I'm brand new to Subarus and am pretty stoked to have finally found a Baja at a reasonable price. It's a black and silver 03, non turbo, 3 speed auto. It's been completely unmolested and seemingly well cared for. It was an Arizona car moved down to Louisiana, so there is minimal rust. I'm not looking to do anything super crazy or anything but then again I don't know what super crazy is when it comes to Bajas. I'm really liking the small lifts, slightly bigger tires and a snorkel since it rains a good bit down here and it tends to flood a lot. Roof rack for extra storage and lights would be nice too.
Either somethings wrong with your tranny or I think you meant 4 speed auto. Haha glad you decided to join! Welcome! Talk to Ryan about the snorkel thing. He had one modded by rallitek.
My son is driving our '03 baja, 5 speed for about 2 years now. I've had normal "maintenance" items and recently a wheel bearing but driving that car feels so secure and it's fun. He added a yakima powderhound ski rack for the winter and in the summer he put a highland 10419000 U Venture roof rack on. He's in high school and he likes the look of the rack. Only used it on occassion.
I like the subaru so much I bought an '00 outback automatic for my daughter. I'm sold on the safety of the subaru's. Very pleased how well the baja has held up and how great it still looks. Can't wait till he goes away to college. I've convinced him Freshman can't have cars on campus. So far he believes me so maybe I'll get to drive the baja until he figures out the truth.
