Price: US $17,600.00
Privately owned Forester with little, but regular, use by a little old lady. Kept in a garage and serviced by Subaru dealerships. Loaded with all sorts of power controls and luxury equipment including Bluetooth, Moonroof, and automatic transmission. The title is clean with no liens and is ready for immediate transfer. UNDER 49, 000 miles with a recent NY inspection sticker and oil change.
The car was purchased as a certified, pre-owned car from a Subaru dealership in 2012. The car is covered by the SUBARU ADDED SECURITY AGREEMENT until Feb 24, 2019, or 100, 000 miles. The Agreement states that Subaru will pay for the cost of repairs to the engine, the transmission, the front wheel drive, and the all wheel drive plus provide some coverage for rental car and towing. The agreement is transferable to the new owner.
The 2012 Subaru Forester is perfect for those looking to move out of a small car and into something with a bit more room and capability. With the Forester, you get an exterior design that is attractive but not revolutionary and a simple, straightforward instrument panel that is a welcome respite from more advanced designs that can sometimes feel too technical.
But, the Forester's most valuable assets are its permanently engaged Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and up to 8.9 inches of ground clearance. Most CUVs use a part-time system that only engages when the rear wheels slip, but the Forester's system is always on the job. Standard on every model, the Forester's AWD system doesn't increase the vehicle's price by much, making it competitive with similarly equipped front-wheel-drive CUVs.
The Forester is also rated highly by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), performing well in all of its crash tests.
The 2.5-liter boxer engine (so named because its pistons lie on their side) serves up 170 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. For the Forester, this is plenty of power, even with the added weight of the AWD system.
The 2012 Subaru Forester features six airbags, including front side impact and side curtain airbags as standard equipment. Also standard are Subaru's AWD and electronic traction and stability control.
The Forester is big on room, overall comfort and flexibility. Standard features include power windows, locks and mirrors, cruise control and air conditioning. The 2.5X Premium has Bluetooth as standard. The Forester's driver's seat has an adjustable lumbar feature (power operated on the 2.5X Premium) for added back support on long trips. The Forester's passenger's seat is height adjustable, a welcome feature at this price. Rear passengers enjoy ample room and can recline their seatbacks.
The Forester's cargo area is large enough for a big dog or a couple of backpacks. With the rear seats folded, the Forester offers a large, level floor and a tall roof ideal for carrying items too big to fit in a conventional trunk. If you run out of room inside, there's the roof-rack-mounted cargo carrier that can nearly double the Forester's capacity.
The 2.5X Premium has steering-wheel-mounted controls for cruise, audio and Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity.
Perhaps the Forester's greatest feature is the available panoramic glass moonroof that extends the length of both front and rear seats. When open, it provides an immense view of the outside world, perfect for a warm summer day's drive or camping out under the stars.
AutoTrader Recommends:
The 2.5X Premium offers the most Forester for the money. You get lots of cool standard features, including a 10-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support, a huge panoramic glass moonroof, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel and Bluetooth.
