2011 Subaru Forester X Limited, 2016 engine with 39k, technician owned - $9,975 (Takoma Park)

2011 Subaru Forester in Sky Blue Metallic with gray leather interior and an automatic transmission. This is the X Limited trim level with a large moonroof, factory navigation, back up camera, parking sensors, "puddle lights," heated seats, automatic climate control, and a power driver's seat. It has the "PZEV" emissions reduction package. It is equipped with the FB25 2.5L engine with a timing chain, so no periodic timing belt replacements are needed. The car is equipped with all wheel drive, is fully serviced, and has great air conditioning. Completed maintenance includes an 10k-mile engine from a 2016 Forester, installed, with 28k miles driven since replacement, for an engine with a total mileage of 38k, so there are zero leaks and none of the oil consumption concerns for which the FB25 engines from 2011 to 2014 were infamous. Subaru had piston ring problems on the 2011 to 2014 cars which resulted in heavy oil consumption. This car has the 4EAT transmission, rather than the CVT unit. Some have found the CVT to be problematical. The car has just been serviced in preparation for its sale, which included 4 new tires, changing the oil and filter, air filter, and a transmission service with new filter and fresh fluid. Other work done has kept it in top condition. An impressive list of service work completed is available. I am a certified technician and have completed all repair work myself. Other work done over the course of ownership has kept it in top condition, a list of which can be provided. This Forester is a dependable car that is driven daily between Silver Spring and Manassas. It drives and feels like a new car. And it looks great! Included are factory mats, a fitted windshield sunscreen and a custom factory car cover. Pre-purchase checks by your mechanic welcomed. If you see and drive it, you will be impressed. Thank you for your interest.
