This 2016 Subaru WRX STi was purchased new by the seller, and approximately 4,600 miles of the 73k total miles indicated have been accrued since the turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four was rebuilt in January 2024. The rebuild of the long block and related work totaled over $22k and involved replacing the short block, turbocharger, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, oil pump, flywheel, clutch, all new valves, right-side camshafts, and more as detailed below. The car is finished in Crystal White Pearl and is equipped with six-speed manual transmission, a Driver-Controlled Center Differential, and an all-wheel-drive system with limited-slip front and rear differentials in addition to a hood scoop, a rear wing, a rearview camera, LED lights, and 18″ Volk Racing wheels. The interior is appointed with black leather and Alcantara upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an aluminum-and-leather STi shift knob, and aluminum alloy pedal covers. This WRX STi indicates 73k miles and is offered with a window sticker, factory literature, service records, removed factory wheels wearing Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tires, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Crystal White Pearl (K1X), and the seller notes that the right-rear quarter panel was repaired before the right-rear door and quarter panel received paintwork. Exterior details include a hood scoop, a rear wing, power-adjustable side mirrors, LED headlights and taillights, and quad stainless-steel exhaust outlets. Noted blemishes include scrapes on the front valance, scuffs on various lower-body panels, and an orange mark on the trunk lid.
Blue-finished 18″ Volk Racing wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The car is equipped with Traction Control System (TCS), Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), and Active Torque Vectoring. Braking is provided by four-piston front and two-piston Brembo calipers over ventilated discs. The brake pads were changed in March 2025, while the front brake rotors were replaced in April 2025.
The heated bucket front seats and the folding rear seats are upholstered in Carbon Black leather and Alcantara with red accents. Appointments include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an aluminum-and-leather STi shift knob, a rearview camera, and aluminum alloy pedal covers.
The multifunction steering wheel has visible wear, and it frames a 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm STi-branded tachometer, a digital display, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. An auxiliary digital display sits above the center stack. The digital odometer indicates 73k miles.
The replacement turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-liter EJ257 DOHC flat-four was rebuilt in January 2024 by Berman Subaru of Chicago, with work that included replacing the short block, turbocharger, cylinder #1 valves, and right-side camshafts as well as the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, oil pump, and mass airflow sensor. The related invoices are displayed in the gallery below The seller notes that the car has traveled approximately 4,600 miles since the work was completed.
Power is sent to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, a Driver-Controlled Center Differential (DCCD), and an all-wheel-drive system with limited-slip front and rear differentials. The flywheel and the clutch were replaced in January 2024.
The included window sticker displays initial delivery to Napleton’s Schaumburg Subaru in Illinois, and it lists factory colors and equipment along with a total suggested retail price of $35,566.
The removed factory wheels wearing Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 winter tires are included in the sale along with factory literature and service records.
The Carfax is free of accidents or other reported damage.
