Alex, Doug and Rachel did a great job throughout the sale. Really enjoying the Palisade!
2003 Subaru Forester review
Excellent build quality overall. 110kW on an AWD = pretty gutless, but that's okay so many cops around now anyway lol. Excellent driver visibility. Exterior style still looks good today. Interior layout is good but back seats a little cramped for adults. Good reliability so long as you do the basics like check fluid levels, change oil on time, change timing belt on time etc. If you don't do this kind of stuff then expect problems.

2003 Subaru Forester review
i brought this car for $1,800 second hand with 293,000 on the meter, the engine has been running perfectly since ive had it. Ive only had a few problems with it as expected with the price i brought it for. the front drive shaft gave out resulting in one of my wheels comming off completly but was booked in with the mechanic anyway, other than that i've had pretty much no problems at all, ive driven it 4000 and have loved every second of it, being just night drives, random drives, beach drives its been a great car though it

2003 Subaru Forester review
This is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle. I got it in 2014 w/144000 miles on it. I went from tahoe to Bay Area and back almost every week for 5 years. It screamed up the mountain in 3 rd and 4 th gear no problem. I feel I push it at times because I often am driving up and down the mountain. I was making payments on it when coming back from Bay Area, going up the hill in el Dorado hills, I threw a rod out the bottom of the motor at 154000. People had the nerve to ask if I had oil in it. Turned out mice had made a nest in the catalytic converter (because it was stored for a year before I bought it) . Supposedly that’s why. Because I was still making payments I opted to buy a motor from Japan, which is a 2006 Impreza motor. $1710.00 later new motor new clutch assembly. Runs great now. I have 203000 miles on chassis and only about 70,000 miles on new motor. My boyfriend rear ended someone and we replaced the quarter panel, head light assembly and found a matching hood with a scoop ( so now I’m always challenged to race cause everyone thinks it’s an STI-I wish). I have replaced a lot of suspension and steering parts, starter, fuel pump, control arm end links, front brakes and rotors, front shocks, driveshaft, battery, front left cv axel, new front lower ball joints, new clutch again, rewire head light assemblies, put premium rims and nice stereo system, studded snow tired. Then a tourist hit and ran and destroyed my rear quarter panel. At that point I was like “I have so much into it I may as well fix it” so I got all the dings and dents repaired and new paint job. I’m attached to this car. It’s like no other in the Tahoe winter with the studded tires. It’s safe and I don’t have to worry so much that it’s such an expensive car if I do happen to slide off the road in the snow. I will probably keep on repairing it unless the motor blows again. I am a female, but a lot of the maintenance and repairs I do myself. Like tune up and oil change. I also replaced the drive shaft myself ($400) as opposed to paying between $800-$1200 to let someone else do it. Replacing the alternator was easy also. If I can find how to do it on YouTube, I will do it myself.
