You're looking at a very rare example: a two (effectively one) owner Subaru Forester 2.5 XTEn. 142k miles, MOT until 29th December 2026. Registered November 2005 to Christopher Neil (Knutsford) as their demo car, with factory-fitted extras including full body kit, boot liner and polished rear bumper guard. It was also AUTOGLYM LifeShined from new. I purchased it from them in January 2006 and have owned it ever since. After 20+ years of ownership, it's time to let it go due to switching to an automatic. It's been my pride and joy, daily use, family trips, transporting anything easily and has been utterly dependable, yet seriously quick when needed. It's been kept as original as possible no unnecessary mods or tuning. Only sensible upgrades to keep it running properly: * Fully Lanoguarded underside (no rust) * Hayward & Scott stainless steel exhaust (quiet) * Pedders rear shocks/springs (replacing failed self-levelling setup) Major work in 2022 (by AdgeSpeed, Subaru Rally Car specialists): * Head skim + head gaskets * Cambelt + water pump * Secondary air pump delete (common failure) * Exedy Stage 1 clutch * Various seals, pipes, pressure testing Other maintenance: * Front tyres (2025), Nexen all round * Brembo Xtra front discs & pads (2025) * LED upgraded front/rear lights Extras included: * Parrot handsfree kit * Bluetooth FM adapter * MagSafe charger + 4 USB chargers Condition: Bodywork is excellent for age with minor supermarket dings/scrapes. Comes with colour-matched touch-up kit and original AUTOGLYM care kit. Full manuals, security codes, and 2 keys included. Known issues: * Small sunroof crack (no leaks) * Rear washer not working * Driver heated seat (low only) * Rear parking sensors not working * Slight rear diff whine at ~40mph (unchanged for 60k miles) Important: like most Subarus, it uses oil (~1L/month). Must be checked monthly. I'll include Comma Motorsport 5W-50. Everything else works: aircon, climate, sat nav, radio/CD, heated mirrors/screens, cruise, steering controls. Interior and leather in good condition. Just serviced (oil, filter, air filter), so ready to go. A well-loved, honest car looking for an owner who will appreciate and maintain it properly.
