For sale is a 2003 Subaru Forester with 209,000+ Miles sold as is. The vehicle runs and has not been in any accidents and has a clean title. The vehicle does need some work, nothing major though. The vehicle was for college and now that I've graduated it is time to sell. The car would work for someone who wants a project car, a first car for a new driver, or a vehicle for work where you don't care if it gets beat up. The car has some rust spots as it has spent its whole life in northern Michigan. Warranty work was done on it to get the control arm assembly replaced in the two front wheel. The starter was replaced a couple months ago, and the wheel bearings and breaks last year. The original cargo cover is in good shape, the spare tire is a real tire not a 'donut', the original scissor jack broke fixing a friends car so I got a hydraulic jack in the back. The seats are in good condition as the front two seats have had seat covers on them since the original owner bought them and gave them to me. Odd and ends notes: The car needs some work and is why it is selling on the low end. With some minor work it would be a good little car. The car is in need of a good vacuuming and dusting, it was a temporary work vehicle for me when I first moved into the area. The car uses oil on long road trips as expected on an older vehicle with that many miles. The rear view mirror use to be auto-dimming; however, it has lost the effect over time. The breaks and tires can last until the winter time. This vehicle is a good buy if you want something to drive into the ground; or for a first time driver. If they get in a fender bender or back into a light pole your not out thousands of dollars. The work that needs to be done is as follows (Not everything needs to be done, and is up to you on how much you want to fix it up):New windshield - It took a hit from a large rock on the interstate a few weeks ago.New Battery - The car battery is starting to go and does not have the cold cranking amps for the Michigan wintersNew gas cap - The original gas cap was lost and the replacement does not form a tight seal, so the check engine light comes on. The local mechanic said the error code was for a loose gas cap. Error code P0455 Airbag light - The air bag light comes on and off. No clue why.Air vent - One air vent's directional flow knob is broken. Blows air and everything, but is always in one direction.Wind Noise - The seal around the driver/passenger door window is starting to go. At high speeds of travel you can hear the wind. I would recommend replacing the foam strip around the window or turning up the radio.
