For sale is a 2003 Subaru Forester with 209,000+ Miles sold as is. The vehicle runs and has not been in any accidents and has a clean title. The vehicle does need some work, nothing major though. The vehicle was for college and now that I've graduated it is time to sell. The car would work for someone who wants a project car, a first car for a new driver, or a vehicle for work where you don't care if it gets beat up. The car has some rust spots as it has spent its whole life in northern Michigan. Warranty work was done on it to get the control arm assembly replaced in the two front wheel. The starter was replaced a couple months ago, and the wheel bearings and breaks last year.
The original cargo cover is in good shape, the spare tire is a real tire not a 'donut', the original scissor jack broke fixing a friends car so I got a hydraulic jack in the back. The seats are in good condition as the front two seats have had seat covers on them since the original owner bought them and gave them to me.
Odd and ends notes: The car needs some work and is why it is selling on the low end. With some minor work it would be a good little car. The car is in need of a good vacuuming and dusting, it was a temporary work vehicle for me when I first moved into the area. The car uses oil on long road trips as expected on an older vehicle with that many miles. The rear view mirror use to be auto-dimming; however, it has lost the effect over time. The breaks and tires can last until the winter time. This vehicle is a good buy if you want something to drive into the ground; or for a first time driver. If they get in a fender bender or back into a light pole your not out thousands of dollars.
The work that needs to be done is as follows (Not everything needs to be done, and is up to you on how much you want to fix it up):
- New windshield - It took a hit from a large rock on the interstate a few weeks ago.
- New Battery - The car battery is starting to go and does not have the cold cranking amps for the Michigan winters
- New gas cap - The original gas cap was lost and the replacement does not form a tight seal, so the check engine light comes on. The local mechanic said the error code was for a loose gas cap. Error code P0455
- Airbag light - The air bag light comes on and off. No clue why.
- Air vent - One air vent's directional flow knob is broken. Blows air and everything, but is always in one direction.
- Wind Noise - The seal around the driver/passenger door window is starting to go. At high speeds of travel you can hear the wind. I would recommend replacing the foam strip around the window or turning up the radio.

Subaru of America sells its 9 millionth vehicle, a 2018 Crosstrek
Mon, Apr 30 2018Back in 1967, Malcolm Bricklin approached Subaru about bringing its cars to the United States. The first models made their way to customer hands sometime in 1968. After 50 years, Subaru of America announced that it has sold its 9 millionth vehicle, a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, to a doctor and repeat customer in Arkansas. This comes just weeks after the automaker sold its 2 millionth Outback and marks another achievement in Subaru's long and continuously successful US operation. Dr. Hershey Garner — the owner of a 2005 Subaru Baja — was greeted with a surprise celebration at Adventure Subaru in Fayetteville, Arkansas, after he took possession of his new car. Garner's new Crosstrek was of course a new 50th Anniversary Edition. Each model in Subaru of America's lineup got a 50th Anniversary Edition. Those cars are all painted Heritage Blue with satin chrome trim. The black leather interiors have 50th Anniversary logos in the headrests. Subaru sales have been going gangbusters. Crosstrek sales were up an astounding 88.7 percent in March 2018 compared to March 2017. As a whole, Subaru marked its 49th month of 40,000-plus sales. The automaker has broken sales records in the US nine years in a row. Things show no sign of stopping anytime soon. Related Video:
2014 Subaru Forester gets big nod of approval from Consumer Reports
Wed, 22 May 2013While more and more buyers seem to be opting for the functionality of car-based crossover vehicles every day, it's rare that your read much in the way of passionate praise for one. And, while Consumer Reports doesn't exactly lavish written paeans on the Subaru Forester in its latest review - that's just not its style - it did give the CUV a remarkably high overall score.
Praising its excellent fuel economy, visibility, roomy interior and a whole lot more, the testing publication bestowed an overall score of 88 out of 100 on the Forester. That's a really excellent number for just about any vehicle, but it's also a top-of-the-class mark for the Forester's small CUV division. Just about the only major gripe was that of ride quality.
Most of the direct competitors to the Forester have earned CR marks in the mid-70s. The Honda CR-V is some 11 points behind, for instance, while the Toyota RAV4 and the Mazda CX-5 earn scores of 75 and 74, respectively.
2015-18 Subaru Foresters recalled because front airbag may not deploy
Mon, Oct 14 2019Subaru is recalling 366,282 Foresters from model years 2015-18 because the front passenger airbag may not go off when it should during a crash. The problem stems from Subaru’s “Occupant Detection System,” which may not be able to detect a person sitting in the seat due to a loose connection. ThereÂ’s an electrical connection under the passenger seat that may loosen over time, according to Subaru. That connection is necessary for the detection system to function. Subaru says that only cars equipped with heated front seats are subject to this recall, as those are the only ones equipped with the specific harness where this would be possible. If your Forester is experiencing this problem, Subaru says you may see the “airbag warning” light illuminate on your dash. The “Passenger airbag off” indicator will also be illuminated, so that makes two different lights to check to see if your airbag is working. In turn, the seat wonÂ’t recognize the presence of a person in the front passenger seat, and the airbag may not deploy in a crash. Subaru will inspect the vehicles it recalls and replace the sensor mat harness if necessary. If you own a 2015-2018 Forester with heated front seats, look out for a note in the mail informing you of a recall. YouÂ’ll need to take the car in to the dealer, where the recall work will be done free of charge. As of now, Subaru isnÂ’t aware of any injuries or fatalities associated with this problem.
