Forester... Possible FS.
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:17 am
I found a great deal on an 02WRX, and I'll consider it if I can sell my Forester.
It's a 98 S with 166,000 miles
I'll just rundown the basics:
-AWD
-5MT
-Head gaskets are 50,000 miles old, and were replaced with the updated part number
-New timing belt and water pump @ 150,000.
-New plugs/wires @ 155,000
-New radiator @ 155,000
-New OEM clutch @ 155,000
-New axles @ 145,000
-Recharged A/C every summer
-Good compression on all 4 cylinders
-Transmission and diff fluid changed @ 140,000 and at 160,000
-Oil changed religiously every 3,000
-Catskinz Leather Interior
-Heated Seats
-New 215/65/16 General Grabber AT2's @160,000 miles (including spare, so all 5 tires are the same diameter)
-New brakes. Legacy Turbo vented rear brakes, WRX front brakes. Metal Master pads, DBA slotted front rotors, Brembo OEM rear rotors. Less than 6,000 miles on all of them.
-Hella 500 Driving lights
-Clifford RSX3.5 alarm/remote start (remote start not connected)
-EBay Front Strut Tower Brace
-Hotchkis 22mm rear sway bar
-OEM compass/temperature single-din unit
-Alpine headunit
-Redlinegoods leather shift boot AND emergency brake boot (they are on the way).
-Stock Roof Rack
-Hidden Hitch trailer hitch
-New PPG Winshield
I think that's about it.
To make me do this, I'd need $8,500 for the Forester, and I need to sell it ASAP.
It's in fantastic condition. There's a few door dings, and the paint on the bumpers is a little chipped, but overall it's in wonderful shape. Headlights are clear, and I'm a stickler for a mechanically sound car. When it's clean, it's beautiful. I looked pretty hard to find a Forester, and I got the best one I could find. The motor is sound, and strong, it gets about 24mpg on the highway, and about 22 in the city now-a-days. I've been really happy with it.
So, if anyone is looking for an SF that's in great shape, let me know. If I sell it, I'll get the WRX. If I don't, then I'll just keep the Forester and lift it.
Either way, if it's gonna go, it's gotta go ASAP.
Thanks for looking!
