Buy David's Subaru

Hi I am David and thanks for visiting my web page. This web page will provide you with more information and more pictures to help you decide if you want to buy my vehicle. I am reluctantly selling my vehicle because things in my life have changed and I will be needing a bigger vehicle in the near future. I will miss the Subaru Forester; it was a joy to drive. The turbo is very speedy and handles extremely well. It provides more than enough power for driving to the mountains.

Things for you to keep in mind: This vehicle is the turbo model and has the 5-speed manual transmission. I have followed the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance to the "T" and have most of the records to prove it. I am also the only owner of the vehicle and have a copy of the Carmax report to prove it. On the negative side, the car does have some minor body damage from 1 prior car accident in 2007. I elected not to fix the 2 dents in the right front quarter panel near the hood of the car (please see the "pictures of body damage" section). Also the front bumper has a small crack and the rear bumper has a dent/crack in it from my too aggressive parking and backing up in the past. Once again, please see the "pictures of body damage" section. My vehicle also has some minor scratches to the paint from regular wear and tear and some very small dents to the roof from hail damage. The windshield also has a crack going from passenger to driver side.

The reason I am telling you up front about this is that I don't want to waste my time showing the vehicle to people who are expecting the vehicle to be in pristine condition. I can guarantee you that the vehicle is in excellent running condition but the exterior of the vehicle is in fair condition as defined by Kelley Blue Book. My pricing of my vehicle reflects this as I am selling the vehicle for $2000 less than the Kelley Blue Book value (please see "Kelley Blue Book" section. The car is sold "As Is".

So, if you would like to see my vehicle and take it for a test drive, please contact me through my Craigslist ad, call me at 720-335-5671 (don't text me as I don't have text) or email me at  buydavidsubaru@gmail.com. If you do want to take it for a test drive, please have a valid driver's license and proof of insurance.

Thank you.
David
