advice on buying a 2002-2004 foz
 

i'm looking at picking up one of these for the other half..

quite a few people on here that own one/have owned one, so any
info/tips greatly appreciated.

gearbox? issues?
regular issues?
drivetrain problems?
should i be targetting a particular model/year


searching for something around the 20-23k mark
exhaust only.. no other mods preferred :D

i always buy private, but happy to go dealership if that's a more secure option for her and/or pricing is not that different.

I have an 05XT but it depends what you or your wife wants out of it?
turbo or NA?
I would go the SG9 series with the 2.5L engines if your budget allows

i've been looking through the rydaz forum.. lot of good stuff there
it's a shame there isn't one in wa that is nicely priced right now.

goro- turbo..funnily enough.

budget is as above, don't really want to spend more.

Have a 2002 Forry LE, from 60k and its about 115k now, only thing thats every gone was rear wheel bearings. Havnt had a single problem with anything else. Very happy with it. Not sure if your talking about turbo or not though, but we picked it up a couple of years ago for 19k.

There are a few nice 'sounding' Foresters in the paper at the moment mate. I was circling a few with a mate on Sunday. Nothing off the top of my head now, sorry.

You could get into an 03/4XT for 23k, roughly 100k on the clock. As with all Subies, 100k service is a killer.

Cheers,
Nik
