Subaru Forester 2006

I’ve owned this Forester for 4 years (put 58,000 km on it) and it has been fantastic. I’ve driven mostly highway miles to it. Originally from a non-snow state in the US, so the frame and body are remarkably clean compared to most Subarus of this age!

HIGHLIGHTS & EXTRAS

• TWO Sets of Tires: Summer AND Winter tires, both mounted on Subaru alloy rims with good tread.
• Clean Underbody: Minimal rust—solid jack points and arches.
• Maintenance History: Regular full synthetic oil changes (2–3 times/year).
• Adventure Ready: Roof crossbars + 1.25” Class 1 hitch & 5-pin wiring harness installed.

RECENT WORK DONE

• Fresh exhaust work: New muffler + pipe.
• A/C compressor O-rings replaced & recharged (A/C blows cold).
• Engine valve adjustment.
• New ignition distributor and spark plug wires.

GOOD TO KNOW / HONEST CONDITION

• Oil Consumption: Typical for these 2.5L engines at this mileage—eats/seeps a bit of oil, just needs a top-up every few fill-ups.
• Power Steering: Steering pump whines and can cut out at low parking speeds. It has been like this for all 4 years, not really present in warm months.
• Upgraded Mirrors: Upgraded to larger premium-trim side mirrors for better blind-spot visibility (currently adjusted manually as the plug is different).
• Exterior/Interior: Minor dents, paint scratches, interior wear, and windshield cracks consistent with its age and mileage.
• Front catalytic converter is likely bad, was throwing a code so I did the spark plug non-fouler trick to eliminate the code.

Drives strong and handles snow easily. Perfect student car, winter beater, or outdoor adventure vehicle.

Price negotiable.
