Hey all I’m new to forester forums and just wanted to give a intro into my intentions here :grin2::grin2: I have a 05X got for a good price and from an actual honest dude on Craigslist. He was trying to get rid of the forester because his wife could drive it (standard) and was given permission to buy something new. So 4 years later here i am 200000 miles on the OD and i completely fell in love with this little forester! But now problems starting to rear its ugly head and now the wife is telling me to just get something new . I want to keep it but don’t have time to wrench on it like i thought i would so i wanted to read up here on the forums and get some advice without asking too much. My wife was thinking just take it to carmax or something . So if i were to trade it in or sell it off market i wanted to see what a fair price would be . KBB says 1500-3500 in private is best but the car has a leaking head gasket and probably on the lower end. But to someone who would like to get into a Subaru for cheap is it worth it asking for more ? Part of me just wants to be done with it but the tires are worth half of the value of the car ? Seems off to me , yes i am very conflicted lol because i love my car , some one talk some sense into me aaahhh
