Traded in the xD...

With a new baby in the works, I needed to upsize a bit.

Stopped by the Subaru dealership today with the intention of just looking (mainly because I had my 1.5 year old boy with me). I left with a new Outback 2.5i Premium with Lineartronic CVT trans, all-weather package (heated seats, heated mirrors, windshield wiper de-icer), and Bluetooth. Color is steel silver metallic.

My monthly payments will be about $50 more than the xD, but for 4 years instead of 3. Drives like a luxury car compared to the D. It's freakin' awesome!

Cost me $335 at etrailer.com. I'll sell it for $200. Everything is still there. Works great. Easy to take on and off. Let me know.

Yeah, I put the TYC LEDs on it the day I bought it. The stock tails only have 20 miles on them! Had I known I was going to sell it, I would have swapped them back in and sold the TYC tails... but that didn't happen.

I would think they're worth about $100 each or $175/pair. Sound fair?

I almost forgot... I have a brand-new cabin air filter and some oil filters for the xD. I believe there are 4 or 5 oil filters, but I have to go over to my dad's garage and count them tonight. I also have the Assenmacher oil filter wrench that is made for the xD-size Toyota oil filter housing. They don't do me any good now... any offers?

Oh, and I still have a barely-used OEM shift boot for the 5-speed. I replaced it with a leather one some time in the first few weeks after I bought the xD.
