Hughieboy Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Just dropped by to say 'Hello'! I've just got home after becoming the proud owner of a 2006 facelift Forester 2.5XT manual. Been looking for a while and most of what I've seen has either been a bit rubbish, totally overpriced by used car dealers or both so having found this one I am a very happy bunny at last! Looking forward to some fun times, this car definitely gives the grin factor AND I will be able to get all my crap in the back AND not get stuck where other cars might get stuck! It's been a good day! :) Hughie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PazzaN96 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Welcome to the club! Sounds like you are already enjoying the perks of forester!! It's always worth the wait for the right one as well, the market for Subaru's in general can be a bit hit and miss in terms of price and condition Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughieboy Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks guys.... will post pics when I get chance, it was dark when I got home after picking it up. I think it needs a bit of a looking at as well as there is a very slight misfire so I need to see who the best Subaru guys are near me. Anybody know?

Hughieboy Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Well actually..... In the last 24 hours since I bought it the engine management light has come on! It seemed to develop a slight misfire on the way home after buying it, I put a post up about it but got no replies as to what it might be..... I have a nasty feeling my love affair with owning a Forester might turn sour very quickly but I hope not! I'm going to get my local mechanic to give it a going over but he's not a Subaru specialist. I hope I haven't bought a pup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 They should be able to read the code and determine the problem. Hopefully nothing major. Keep us up to date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
