Hiya all,
I’ve decided to buy a Forester within the next 6 – 8 weeks and would appreciate any info, suggestions etc on expectations, deals and what to look for from experienced owners.
I will have a budget of approx £10k and am hoping to get a 2006/56 with about 30k on the clock. I really fancy an XT 2.5 but what with the car tax going up to +£400 next year I just can’t justify it to my good lady wife.
I will be going from a 2.0 turbo Volvo (whcih pulls really well) but it doesn’t look like there is a 2.0 turbo Forester available for the year I am looking at. Is this correct? If not what am I missing and if so would be a viable alternative?
I would normally go for a petrol model as I only cover about 6000 miles per year but would listen to any reasons to get a diesel as well.
Gadgets-wise I’m not bothered as long as it’s got heated seats (if leather).
I am willing to travel circa 150 miles for the right one.
I would also like to buy from a dealer (for piece of mind) but if anyone thinks otherwise I would appreciate other suggestions.
I’ve browsed these forums for the last week or so but there’s a lot to get through and I’m completely new to Subarus.
Thanks for any replies
