£3,495 - Price inc plate, bars & liner and is the cheapest low mileage quality XT SG5 on AT so no silly offers please.
2 Min from J23 M5 in Somerset.

Full service history & recent work in my 2 1/2 years of ownership inc common saggy rear suspension replaced with Subaru approved Pedders coils & struts, bushes front & rear inc expensive swing arm, new brake discs/pads front & rear, brake fluid, auto box fluid & front/rear diff fluids, new Bosch battery (warranty to 2020) 4 premium Toyo Celcius all-season tyres, oil/filter service completed in May 2018.

Rare & desirable options on top of the XT Auto spec inc the winter pack (Heated seats, windscreen defrost, fogs & headlamp washers), Full glass electric sunroof, Subaru tow bar with electrics, smart auto-dipping rear view mirror (readout and compass). I've added a Subaru hard slip-in boot liner, headlamp protectors & Subaru Mont Blanc locking roof bars (only ones that fit this model).

All round excellent condition.

The interior is virtually unmarked with supportive part-leather heated front seats, auto air-con, electric roof, 4x electric windows, CD/radio, cruise control, screen defrost, power sockets front & in the boot, full luggage cover, original tools, spare wheel & mats, 2 keys.

Bodywork is very clean with some small car park nicks & scratches which do not detract from what is a smart & much admired car.

This car comes with: Private A2 plate (valued around £500), Electric sunroof, Electric windows, Air conditioning, Fogs, Smart auto dipping mirror with compass, CD player, Part leather trim, Heated seats, screen defrost, headlight washers, Height adjustable driver's seat, Height adjustable passenger seat, Folding rear seats, Child seat points (Isofix system), Metallic paint, Alloy wheels, Spare wheel (Space-saver), Power steering, Steering wheel rake adjustment, Steering wheel reach adjustment, Cruise control, Traction control, Roof rails, Central locking, Alarm, Immobiliser, Driver's airbags, Side airbags, Passenger airbags, power sockets front and rear, load cover, tow bar with electrics, locking roof bars, boot liner.

The SG Series Forester uses the proven WRX 2.0 Turbo unit (with smaller intercooler) with Asymetric 4WD and in this case a smooth and responsive Auto box with low hold and sport/power option. These are now regarded as the best of the Foresters and I searched for ages to find a low mileage un-abused example. The original owner loaded it with options and hardly drove it, I bought with just 36k miles it from an old gent in Devon and have despite buying it to use for occasional family, bike rack leisure duties ended up using it as my daily as it's such a lovely car to use. I've now got a new Countryman Cooper S so sadly time has come to part with what has been one of my favourite all-rounders.

The advert was only up on Autotrader, Ebay (classifieds) and gumtree for one day and I've had loads of interest, the first viewer paid the asking price, actually what I paid for it 2 1/2 years ago! Two others offered the ask unseen if it didn't sell! It seems there is a real following for these SG5 Foresters! Sad to see this one go :(

Advert stats wise Autotrader, gumtree and ebay all had similar views. Serious buyers came from AT, stupid offers from Ebay idiots and nothing more than polite enquiries from Gumtree.
