2000 Subaru Forester Turbo S - FSH - 125k - £1000

[benjy_b]

After owning the Forester for just over two months, I'm putting it up for sale. The main reason being the fuel consumption, 25mpg is just not what I'm used to, coming from a TDI Golf. I really like everything about the car, except the engine. I fear I've spent too much time in diesels 

Whilst in my ownership I experienced a breakdown caused by a split in the top hose to the radiator. Luckily, I managed to stop before it caused any further damage. I have fitted a second hand top hose and replaced the coolant with Halfords 5 Years OAT & Subaru Coolant Conditioner.

After carrying out the coolant system repairs, the car decided it didn't want to charge the Battery (I believe the alternator may have been damaged when the engine bay was soaked with coolant mixture). I have subsequently replaced the alternator with a second hand item and now it is charging properly.

I am asking £1000, which I believe to be a very fair price. I will respond to all text messages/phone calls and PM's, but don't be surprised if you're met with hostility when you ask if I will take £750 and a packet of Rolos.

If you view the car, offer lower than £1000 and give me justification for your offer. Then I may consider it.

Upon viewing, if you insist on a test drive then I expect you bring the full cash amount and proof of insurance.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
