NO RESERVE AUCTION. Top Bidder Wins the car. This will be the fourth vehicle that i've sold on ebay, and you can see my feedback is still 100%. Even though the miles are on the high side, keep in mind that a blown turbo is one of the main reasons for engine failure. The turbo on this car has only 5k on it, and there are many SG (03-08) Foresters with 250k miles on them. My wife is getting a Tesla and she finds this car too sporty/loud/spartan to drive, so we are going to keep her old car (a legeacy GT). I'd prefer to keep this one as i like the performance, spaciousness, utility, and stealth hot rod factor of it, but ... Cobb Protuned and upgraded to outrun an STI. E-Tuner says the datalogs says it has approximately 285 HP at the wheels. And it feels like it too. The exhaust note was advertised as mid-range, but I find it on the high side. Therefore, I'm including the original exhaust in case you prefer a quieter sound. My 11 year old loves the sound. He keeps saying make it go louder!!! Here is the youtube at idle. It is addicting to start the car over and over to hear that sound. https://youtu.be/XWCHoVIsj7k Doing all the mods below may cost you 3 to 4k alone, prices below for upgrades is just parts!!!Subaru Forester XT Premium (Leather seats and power driver seat) Sony Navigation/Satellite Radio/Rear Camera/DVD Player/Bluetooth - $1,000Excellent mechanical condition.

I"ve had no issues with this and no turbo boost pressure lost.Good-sized dings in rear-left fender. I'll add tire pictures so you can judge the wear yourself.windshield has 2 pits in it. They are small and haven't spread to a full crack. one of them is very tiny the other is noticeable but on the far right side.There is no reason this car can't be purchased and driven across the country. It is maintained and upgraded (other than the intercooler :-) by a former Subaru mechanic who uses a brand of oil from Japan in the engine and transmission. Passenger front speaker is not working. I'm including Polk Audio db651 6.5" 360W Marine Grade Coaxial Car Speakers w/ 6x8" Adapters speakers that i was going to have put in. These are supposed to fit with no major modification. Also, note the fake brembo brake covers. I'm happy with the original brakes, so that was just for kicks.
