99T Subaru Forester (T/TB)
Good condition, 70000 miles, plenty Tax and MOT.
Interesting and practical alternative to an Impreza with cheap insurance (mine if £400 per year).
Open to offers.

Yes it's an import.
The UK versions are something like a measly 175BHP compared with 240 for the imports.
It is an automatic but the gearboxes are excellent and whilst you can't launch the car like a manual (probably a benefit when buying a second hand one) it equally never fluffs gear changes
.
I bought it at 60,000 miles fresh into the country. It had a full work over on arrival which included changing the cambelt, all fluids etc. It's due a service about now which I would have done dependant on the agreed selling price.
It's now got 71,000 miles on the clock and is taxed and MOT'd until Jan '07.
It's not possible to import these now as there is no model report available so they are increasingly hard to get hold off, however parts are the same as either a UK Forester or Impreza.
It is lightly modded with a WRX rear sway bar to stop some of the body roll and it has a Hayward&Scott backbox on the exhaust. Original parts will be available to the buyer if they want them.
It's also currently fitted with a Kenwood "Stealth" stereo/cd player.
