This 2008 Impreza 2.5i has 155,740 miles on it, and that number is the whole reason it's priced at $4,219 instead of thousands more.

Look at how those miles were earned: about 8,652 a year across 18 years, which reads like steady commuting rather than hard, short-trip use. Under the hood is the 2.5L SOHC boxer four, rated by Auto123 at 170 hp at 6,000 rpm, paired here with the automatic. The 2.5i badge brings Subaru's symmetrical full-time all-wheel drive, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with EBD, dual front advanced airbags, front side-impact and side-curtain airbags, and LATCH child-seat anchors. Cars101 lists air conditioning, cruise control and full power accessories as standard equipment on this trim. Autoweb called the redesigned 2008 car more mainstream and refined than the one it replaced, on a 3,107-lb curb weight and a soft suspension — which is a fair description of how it rides on I-35 or out toward the coast.

We'd rather you check it than take our word for it. Bring your own mechanic and get a pre-purchase inspection; we'll make the car available for it. Ask for the Carfax vehicle history report and read it yourself, start to finish. We invite that kind of scrutiny because we expect the car to hold up to it.

When you're ready, we can talk extended warranty options and GAP coverage, and we work with every credit situation — cash buyers are just as welcome. No pressure, no runaround. Come drive it and see what you think.
