Just bought a JDM oddity- and at a bargain price
Discussion
Fortunately I live in Japan and am very lucky to have used SmileJV for my previous car buys and sells. They are amazing!
I always by from auction and have been looking for a hotish Subaru family wagon.
My favorite Forester is the 3rd Gen (SH) but the standard XT turbo wasn’t interesting enough for me. But in a few countries they sold the S-Edition and the TS which were 265 BHP with STI components and tons of kit.
Managed to win the auction of a 60,000 mile auction grade 4, for 4650 quid.
Will send pictures when I collect

Yes, I think it’s the engine with the dodgy reputation. Didn’t realize the XT of this model went to oz as 2.5. I believe they also had this S-Edition and the even better specd TS.
I bought it from auction so don’t quite know how well it’s been looked after but with an automatic box and a slightly detuned version, I am hoping it’s not too much of a risk. They don’t come up for auction that often here, so had to take a punt. With taxes and fees it cost me about 8k USD and I think it will hold its value. Going to get it serviced and cleaned up, then will post a nicer pic
