Subaru Forester-S turbo
Discussion
I recently sold my ML320 as I was hoping to replace it with an ML55, but the market seems to have gone a bit crazy on those of late. So while I'm waiting to see what happens there, I needed a replacement dog/tip car.
Enter the Forester! It has about 77k on the clock, a slush box and about 2 straight panels... picked it up from a nice rally enthusiast in Leeds and drove her back to South Somerset without issue.
Still, no major rust that I can see which is a plus point - everything seems to work too!
Jobs are as follows:

Jobs are as follows:
- Tint rear windows (for the dogs!)
- Cam belt and water pump replacement
- Plugs, fluids and filters
- Replace rear shocks
- Reprogramme spare alarm fob
- Maybe give it a really good detail to see if the remaining panels are as good as they might be

Even selling it for under £500 didn't stop the buyer from trying a few little tricks, including:
I hate selling cars cheap, you ALWAYS get chancers.

- It has no coolant! (Yes it does, look there are the hot and cold markers at the bottom of the tank)
- It doesn't kick down properly (Erm, yes it does - you are just driving it like an arse up and down my single track lane)
- Come on, knock some more money off. (No, either pay me the money or I'm scrapping it on principle)
