FS: 2005 Forester XT (2.5T) SOLD

[Aus_Scooby23]

Ok decided to sell my 2005 Forester XT and pursue an FSTI. I've owned my car for a year after trading in my Audi A3. I've spent time and money on her but due to what I want it's best to sell and just look for an FSTI, as I'd be spending around the same money to finish her and convert to a 6spd. As the car had 100K on the clock the first point of call for upgrades were, suspension, brakes, back box, air filter and re-map along with a service. Then came wheels, tinting, turbo, tmic, bov, tyres, up pipe and finally another re-map and service, I have all the receipts for the work.

 

The car currently has 110,800 on the clock but due to the new suspension and brakes the car handles exceptionally well. It also has leather interior, sun and moon roof. Plus all the usual good stuff this model fozzy has. I'm the 3rd owner and have the full servicing history of the car. The car is fitted with the standard subaru immobiliser. There is carpet wear in the drivers foot well near the clutch pedal and the usual stone chips etc. I would like to get on a proper dyno but don't know if I'll get a chance to, she is claimed in the 280-300BHP region (I know it's a broad BHP range was to finish exhaust before a rolling road session). I do have the outputs from the first mapping before turbo, sti tmic and up pipe work was done.

 

I'm not asking for a ridiculous price and given that the mods I've done are practically new you wouldn't be having to do much for a while unless you wanted to do so. MOT was completed last week so you'll have 12 months and 6 months Tax has been paid for at £154. For 12 months it's now £280 a slight increase from last year. I will probably take the audio out of the car but if you would like it in then the price would be higher.

So you couldn't resist then :D

I will say good luck with the sale not that I think you will need much luck mate, stunning looking and think it sells it's self at that price. But I've said it anyway :D  

[Jay762]

good luck with the sale and keep us posted on the FSTI progress

[Aus_Scooby23]

Thanks guys, I hope it sells itself.

I've pretty much got the STI just have to wait till I get back so i can put a deposit on it. The guy is holding it for me :)

I've only got it up for sale on a couple of forums so far, will advertise a bit more closer to to my return date from afghan.

[Aus_Scooby23]

:)

[Gambit]

I can't see it not selling with the work you have done already I take it you are in the forces then :) Or a part of the clean up ;) 

[Aus_Scooby23]

Yeah in the forces. Got off shift today and had a nice little message in my in box on another forum :D

[Gambit]

Sold ? 

[Aus_Scooby23]

Hopefully as soon as I get back, let him check it out if he's happy then done but fingers crossed. Means I can go pick up my new beast a little earlier :D

[Gambit]

Sounds good I can't see why he wouldn't have it from the pictures anyway and list you have put that's been done. So have you seen another car already then ?

[Aus_Scooby23]

Yep already have my FSTI waiting for me to collect mid-late next month :D

[Gambit]

Be like Christmas come early :D You started the shopping list for mods yet ;) ......I bet you have 

[Aus_Scooby23]

I did make a promise to myself that if I get this than I have to pay off bills for a while.....unless I find a deal of course ;) 

[Gambit]

I will take that as you have already been looking ;) 

And yeah getting some bills paid is a good Idea too... I guess :( 

[martin1981]

I'm interested in the car is it still available? If so I will send a PM. I'm close to Hampshire as well, cheers.

[martin1981]

Previous messages suggest it might've been sold??? If so then :( If not I'm very interested, let me know, cheers.

[Gambit]

I can't tell you if it has or hasn't but I'm sure he will get back to you ASAP. 

And I can see why you would want it stunning car :)

[martin1981]

Hi I have sent a PM and am touching wood that it hasn't sold, but have not heard back yet! Hopefully I'm not gonna miss another one as I haven't seen a great many come up in the last month or so! :) Cheers.

[Aus_Scooby23]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm away in Afghan at the moment so not always available. The car hasn't been sold but I am holding it for someone to look at first as they contacted me with an offer first seems only fair. I'm back in a couple of weeks so things will be a little more concrete then.

[Aus_Scooby23]

SOLD..

[Gambit]

So that it gone :) bet you're looking forward to getting back even more now :D 

[Aus_Scooby23]

Hell yeah want to go and collect my new toy early November :)

[Gambit]

... To be fair I know it's sad but I'd be lying if I wasn't a little excited to see how good it is seeing as you are selling this one for it I'm expecting something dam nice :D 

[Aus_Scooby23]

Would a 04 Litchfield FSTI suffice ;)

[Gambit]

Ohhhh very nice what colour ? :D
