History and Background

 

Purchased in 2008 from a seller on LGT.com with 63k miles (prior FS thread)

 

My requirements when shopping for this car were a GT wagon in Limited trim, manual transmission, black interior, and ABP exterior. After figuring out from the Official MY2005 production numbers by model & color thread that there were only 24 produced in this configuration, I cast a wide net while shopping. A match popped up in Rhode Island so I flew out from LAX to Boston with the woman that is now my wife on a Friday red-eye flight. After meeting with the seller and completing the deal, we took the next 9 days to drive back to California while visiting friends and family and being tourists. It was a great trip and my daily driver prior to the LGT wagon was a 2002 WRX wagon purchased new in 2001. I fully expected to keep this car forever.

 

Reason for Selling: 2 drivers in the house with 3 cars and we both work from home permanently now. Sadly, the Prius and big SUV make the most sense for me to keep.

Looks like you have done it before... so what is the price of shipping from one coast to the other approximately?

Thanks! I had 18x8 +45mm wheels with 235/40 tires that were fine until a wheel was destroyed by a big rock on the road. I found these on Craigslist and thought they would rub for sure. Luckily the seller was okay with letting me test fit and drive around to confirm they were okay. Much to my surprise, they haven't rubbed.

LOL, I actually wanted to drive across the country and the plane tickets were only about $100 per person so I never looked into shipping costs. My cost was $50 hotels (except in Vail, Colorado ), gas, food, and $200 in plane tickets. I would encourage anyone to do the same if they can swing it. You get to see the country and you don't have to do a round-trip. I would have done it by myself, but it was even better that my significant other was able to go. Most non-car (or adventurous) people that heard about it thought I was crazy. It wouldn't have been much fun if I had to drive straight home though.

How many days did you take for the drive? - sounds interesting... I have just discovered a friend is now living in BC! LOL - so a trip may be a possibility...

[Evan]

We took 9 days. Spent most of our time in the eastern half of the country and had to rush through the western 1/3 to 1/2 of the trip.
