What Forester?
Discussion
Hi everyone, think this is the first time I have ventured into Jap land...usually in Classic Mini or TVR.
Yesterday, wifey arrived home with some details of a Subaru Forester she had seen in the local car park with a "for sale" ad on it.
It was a 2002 (52) with loads of spec apparently.
Now when I look at the various "What Car" etc web sites there seems to be a 97 - 2003 model and a 02 - present model. How do I tell them apart and (not knowing whether this a turbo or not) how much should I expect to pay, what is the road tax and how bad is the poor fuel consumption I read about.
Thanks for all advice

Later Foresters i think have the letters XT after the engine size on the tailgate denoting Turbo, so a 2ltr Turbo would be 2.0 XT and the 2.5 with XT after it as well. I think that's right. Not sure about earlier ones though 2002 models i think have the word S Turbo denoting what it is, and japanese imports have STB on them denoting the Turbo.
Have a look on PH classifieds under the Subaru marque, there are a few Foresters there that should give you a flavour for what you may pay.
