2008 Subaru Forester 2.5L 156K - $3,500 (kensington)

Purchased in 2018 from a dealer and am sad to sell it! I've put a lot of money into this car thinking I would drive it till the end of its life (these cars can run to 250K or more), but an opportunity to buy much newer car from my parents has presented itself. Last week I visited the mechanic who has done a lot of the repair on this car (last year some catalytic pipes, head gaskets!! and new tires,) and he said $3500 was fair, taking into consideration a recent issue with a P420 code (usually thrown by emissions/cat converter) that will bring on the cruise control/check engine light. The light will reappear after some time driving when the codes have been reset. The car passed inspection in February, with some extra effort involving resetting the code, and running a tank of gas with an emissions system cleaner. Mechanic believes this will continue to work moving forward. Other than a small crack in the plastic near one of the headlights (was backed into/no internal damage/light replaced) and a small dent/scrape on rear near gas tank, I have had no accidents, and don't know of any accident history with this car. Interior is a little dusty, but clean, no pets, no smells. Leaving for grad school in a few weeks, so hoping to rehome this ride quickly!
