No Reserve: 1997 Subaru Vivio

OVERVIEW

This Japanese-market 1997 Subaru Vivio Bistro has driven 53,258 miles since new and is powered by a 658cc inline-four paired with an “ECVT” automatic transaxle. It is a right-hand drive, kei-class five-door hatchback and comes equipped with air conditioning, an AM/FM/cassette radio, front disc brakes, and power windows. Finished in black over a tan vinyl interior, this Vivio is now offered with owner’s booklets and a clear United States title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The five-door hatchback exterior features window visors, a rear window wiper, mud flaps, a single-outlet exhaust, and chrome accents adorning the grille, bumpers, headlight surrounds, mirror caps, and door handles.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Steel 12-inch wheels with polished center caps and trim rings are wrapped in 155/70-sized tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The right-hand drive layout interior is fitted with tan vinyl bucket seats up front, a matching bench in the rear, and gray tones for the dash, carpeting, and floor mats. Amenities include air conditioning, an AM/FM/cassette radio, a clock, power windows, a wood trim panel, intermittent windshield wipers, and a spare tire.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a central 140-km/h speedometer and supporting gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 85,712 kilometers (53,258 miles), which the seller asserts is a true reading.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The transverse-mounted 658cc Clover SOHC inline-four was rated at 52 horsepower and is said to be mechanically sound per the seller. Torque is fed to the front wheels via a console-shifted ECVT automatic transaxle.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The chassis uses an L-type lower arm strut front suspension and a dual-link strut rear suspension. Stopping power comes from disc brakes up front and drums in the rear.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The sale includes owner’s booklets. The seller has provided videos including a start-up and a driving demonstration.
