Highlights
- Highlights:
- This Baja Turbo is equipped with the desirable 5-speed manual transmission.
- This Subaru is offered with a clean Carfax vehicle history report. It was reportedly registered to one owner until 2024.
- This Baja Turbo has received extensive recent mechanical work, including the installation of a refreshed donor engine from a 2005 Baja Turbo with 120,000 confirmed miles. Notable recent work reported by the seller includes a new turbocharger, clutch assembly, exhaust system, timing belt, water pump A/C components, and related gaskets, seals, and sensors; the seller reports investing over $11,000 in parts and labor, and photos of receipts documenting the work are included in the gallery.
- This Baja is a Turbo model. A partial list of notable equipment reported by the seller includes 16-inch wheels, a limited-slip differential, a power sunroof, a Switchback rear pass-through system, a swing-down rear license plate bracket, and air conditioning. The seller reports no notable modifications.
- Subaru returned to the pickup segment after a long hiatus when it released the Baja for the 2003 model year. Based on the Outback, it picked up where the Brat left off by offering the utility of a truck in a car-like package. The clever Switchback system allowed users to fold down part of the rear partition in order to carry long items, like a kayak. Production ended in 2006, and Subaru hasn't released another pickup since.
- Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-4, rated at 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and a permanent all-wheel drive system.
