robbiep Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 We've decided to sell our old Forester 'X', due to the fact that it gets almost no use any more. 2012/62 Forester 2.0 (150hp) petrol, in blue with a 5 speed manual gearbox, permanent 4WD, proper high/low box. We've owned it since November 2017, the good lady upgraded to a newer version in summer 2019, meaning this became my 'shoot wagon'. Mileage since then on the MOTs : November 2019 : 100,380 October 2020 : 102,125 November 2021 : 105,653 Mileage today : 106,362 All checkable on the DVLA MOT history site. Everything works apart from the radio (aerial broke off, CD and bluetooth for phone etc work fine), the car does have a few scuffs and minor scratches. One light lens (rear driver's side) is cracked, as can be seen in the pictures. The decent-sized scuff in another picture is on the rear bumper, just below the cracked light. Features (I'm not going to list everything, only those things that might be extra - nothing more annoying than someone putting 'steering wheel') ! Heated front seats Dog guard (aftermarket) Bumper / boot sill protector (genuine Subaru item) Towbar with electrics (aftermarket) Average economy pottering about is 30mpg. Can get up to 33 on a run. Subaru had a recall a couple of years ago, they'd had a few cases of valve springs snapping. This car was in for that recall repair in summer 2021 I've been made a firm offer (after viewing) of £3200 from someone in the trade. As such, this is priced at £3500, and I am NOT willing to negotiate. If you'd like more, or higher quality images, or have any other questions, then please ask Any inspection welcomed Car is located near Denbigh, North Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihrauch17 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Absolute bargain, I think it is worth more than that. Have you tried Motorway or We Buy and Car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried Motorway or We Buy and Car? WBAC are actually where the offer was from - £3.5k initially, dropped due to the damaged bits. I know prices are currently a bit silly, but we'd be happy with this price for the car - we bought it for a cheap price in 2017 (£6k), meaning that it's depreciated by somewhere around £500 per annum. I had a look on Autotrader, but the only problem is that these are quite rare, so not a lot to compare it against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihrauch17 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Well I have a 2016 Petrol like yours albeit with 43k on the clock and CVT but similar on Autotrader are 13 - 14k, Dales Subaru have a16 plate Diesel for 18k. Given they will do 250k or more if looked after yours just seemed cheap to me. It might be worth a punt on Autotrader or Ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Good luck with the sale Rob. Wish I had the cash as it’s a decent car when you’ve had it at the shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Should be pictures on it, I've certainly got them showing up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Hopefully that's fixed it - or else I've utterly screwed up ! Technology, eh ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiringBlanks Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Morning, Hope you are well, it certainly seemed a very capable vehicle when I've seen it in action and makes the perfect shoot vehicle. I highly recommended getting a price from Motorway, a friend of ours sold their car on there for £3000 more than what they valued it at, they actually offer you a reserve price, sell it to the trade in their auction to the highest bidder, no questions asked. You just have to fill in a form, take the picture they ask and voila. GLWS either way, and look after yourself. Cheers, J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
