after 4 years of ownership the SF5 2002 Forester Sport went to is new home a week last Friday.. with 64550 miles on it. One happy new owner.

The replacement I got the week before.. a JDM, Forester CrossSport 2007 SG5 (fresh import last November) 55k miles
Doing a few bits to sort it out, nothing major.. sprayed the alloys, a few touch up on lower front bumper scratches, new H&S Zorst (centre & back box). Waxoyl and Pedders kit going on as I felt it went over bumps weird... a shock is on it's way out. Other than that it's all good after being checked over.

Out with the old...




In with the newer..






Working my way around it for detailing it, seats were bad so I aqua vac'd those.
engine bay coming on nice, body work needs a good clay bar and DA, which I'll do as and when.

Still waiting on DVLA for teh V%, so can't put my plate on.

note: if selling a car.. do it on line and don't send the paper work in... you get the V5 back in 4-5days. Same as Private Reg transfer/retention.. 4days got the V5 back with old reg on! 6days I got the V778 retention certificate!
I've been waiting 4weeks now! (posted it off)


Thanks for looking

Nice looking car Phil - what did you end up paying for it?

salsa-king

yep
put on SORN saved me £565 last week!

lets say a lot less than the guy who bought it in November.

and a lot less than I thought I'd be spending....

and not much different than Importing.. which this car has all the things I wanted on an import.. but didn't see many coming up like this anyway.
Plus once in the UK, i'd still be doing the things on it like i've had to do now.

Plus with it already being in the uk, i'm not having to wait to get it registered.
