Comments from the seller
Selling my 2008 Subaru forester xt.
I am selling the car without a rwc, secondary air pump was just replaced engine light comes and goes however it drives fine. A/c does not work
The car has been great and has taken me on many trouble free camping trips. Being a red car, it does have some paint fading but presents well overall. I spent $2,700 on it recently for new suspension components and bushings. Secondary air pump and front right c/v joint have also been replaced.
It does have a dent on the left fender as pictured and clear coat on the bonnet is starting to peel.
I have priced the car quite fairly for its overall condition.
Thanks.
