Icon2 FS: 2005 Subaru Forester XS Sport 5MT

2005 Subaru Forester XS Sport 5MT

2005 Subaru Forester XS Sport 5MT

Mileage: 125,750 mi
Fuel Economy: 22 / 28 MPG

The car is in pretty good shape - cosmetically and mechanically speaking. It's not perfect as there are a couple of things that could be better (see far below for details on the not so good). Clutch was visually inspected and looked fine with lots of material remaining and is consistent with having been replaced in the last few years. AC is recently charged and we ran a pressure test and leak test with UV dye; the system held charge and provides conditioned air on demand. All of the interior/exterior lights were verified to be functional and you shouldn't have to replace any bulbs imminently.

The motor had to be replaced due to overheating and subsequent warping of the decks. We bought a used motor of the same MY and close to the same mileage as the chassis. I stripped it down to the shortblock and refreshed or reset the maintenance cycle on the major components that wear.

New tires - Cooper CS5 Grand Touring all-season (11/32" remaining)
New radiator
New cabin filter
New timing belt, water pump, idler pulleys, head gaskets, front/rear/cam/valve cover seals, valve stem seals, oil pan gasket, clutch release bearing, flywheel pilot bearing, AC belt, spark plugs, and all power train fluids replaced when the motor was replaced @ 125,597

Valve adjustment @ 125,597

Ignition coils, ignition wires replaced @ 109,948

Standard Features:
Heated seats
Heated side mirrors
Heated front/rear wiper blades
Power adj driver seat (manual adj passenger seat)
Keyless Entry
Moonroof
Hill hold feature - applies brakes when on a grade for easier standing starts with the manual transmission

Are you open to trades and is this turbo by chance?
