2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS Description

The car currently has 120,136 miles on it. It has a 5-speed MT.
I purchased this car in February of 2015 with 108,XXX miles. At 109,XXX miles, I had the head gaskets and full timing kit done. At that time the mechanic also replaced the other belts, tensioners & pulleys, upper & lower radiator hoses, thermostat, spark plugs & cables, etc. serviced the air conditioning, fixed an exhaust leak and a few other things.
I recently had the front and rear brakes done: new rotors front and rear, new pads front and rear, new shoes and spring kit for the parking brake, and the rear driver's-side brake line was replaced.
The previous owner replaced the knock sensor prior to me buying the vehicle.
Everything on the car works, e.g. air conditioning, heat, cruise control, radio, windows roll up & down, power sunroof works, etc.
No modifications to the engine but there a few basic mods here and there, all present on the vehicle when I bought it.
Aftermarket header with STI exhaust
Aftermarket sway bar
STI carbon fiber strut tower brace
JDM taillights
JDM hood
JDM rear seat
Aftermarket grill

The car has plenty of rust in all the usual places, i.e. on both quarter panels and the rear passenger door. I removed the ugly stock wing but it comes with the car. I also removed the side skirt on the passenger side because some of the clips were broken and it was starting to hang down. This also comes with the car.

I knocked something lose on the exhaust driving through some deep snow so right now the car is pretty loud. I don't see this taking much to fix, it's just been to cold for me to mess with. I drive it that way but not everyone would.
About 1 week after having the brakes done the ABS light came on. I never looked into why. The car stops fine so I don't care.
The CEL is on and has been on since I bought the car. When I had the engine work done the mechanic said it was one for two reasons - the first was something like fuel evap pressure sensor, and may be fixed with a new gas cap. The other was something to do with the exhaust, probably because it's aftermarket.Oncethe mechanic said that neither affected the way the vehicle runs, I I stopped listening.
I paid $5500 for the car and put $3000 into all the maintenance.Title is clean, clear and in my name.
