Forester sti, 311bhp

Description:

I bought this car in 2022. I've done approximately 11-12k miles in my ownership. Oil and filter have been replaced every 6 months despite the low mileage.
Current MOT until jan 2026.

There is a pile of paperwork from previous owners too. I've never had it mapped myself, but there is evidence of this running around 310bhp in the paperwork.

It's never given me any problems in my ownership beyond what you would expect (wear tear items). Starts every time and has been very reliable for me.

Garmin 65w dash cam fitted which I'll leave in, along with the yakima whispbar/roofbars.

Paintwork could do with TLC as may be expected for a 2004 car, but it cleans up well still despite this.

Stereo/speakers don't work properly. It has the original stereo with Minidisc player, but someone had messed on with speakers etc before I bought it. I've never investigated, I just make do with a bluetooth
speaker and spotify, but was one of those jobs on my list eventually.

Even have the original flare, though I'd need to dig this out as I don't keep it in the car.

It's not immaculate, and sure there are better examples out there if you're willing to pay the 5+k extra, but it's been a fun, reliable car for me with minimal problems in 3 years, and has been well maintained in that time, all oil changes having been done
by myself (receipts for everything in my ownership), and other work completed by AK automotive or, largely, Alyn at AS Performance. Most the work from previous owner appears to have been with TDR in the midlands.

Open to ideas re swapz, try me. Value mine at 9.5k
