Why do you need Isofix Scotty?

Scott.T 08-01-2018 07:53 PM

Its a well known scam to charge delivery.
He'll ask you to send money to cover shipping and you'll pay shipping then never here from them again.

The other scam when selling it that they have been known to send you a cheque to cover the price of your car and also include costs to cover shipping. You then stick the cheque in the bank and when it's cleared in 3 days you stick your car on a boat and pay the shipping.

They then cancel the cheque. The 3 day clearance by the bank is only done as a goodwill jesture. It can take several weeks to truly clear.

You end up with no car and out of pocket for the shipping.

Besides if your mad enough to swap a classic for a newage Blob ! your probably gullible enough to fall for a scam ;)

Nah, quarter at best...

I was very particular with my words. I referred to the one in this post only.

Some bugs look good.

Plenty of people think the Forester is ugly... not me though.

scotty 10-01-2018 05:39 PM

Lose the stickers and that black one will look the nuts.

alfa male 17-01-2018 06:56 PM

Matt23's Spec D in The For Sale section looks a good honest car.

scooby doo 17-01-2018 08:50 PM

The import bugs are great ! Built very well but you would really want a fresh import , what ever you buy get it fully under sealed for your winters if it's a daily

This was a good one for sure :agreed:

Banstead Stig 20-01-2018 09:37 PM

I am coming up to seven years of ownership. Way longer than anything else I've ever had. Such a good car.

There's a Scandinavian beasty with my name on it at a local garage if you fancy one in Urban Metallic Grey, Scotty. :D

It'll save me from myself as I'm trying to convince myself to have both. :lol:

We are in no rush as need to save and find a buyer for mine but im going with a black one .

Don't count out the twinscroll legacies! My legacy estate has far more room than the forester had as the chassis is longer where as the foresters are based on the impreza floor pan. Yes the foresters have a higher roof bit in terms of usable volume the Legacy beats it hands down. Also the build of the legacies is better with more refined materials and greater sound deadening. The 5 speed auto will take up to 400bhp if the valve is upgraded and the manuals are 6 speed from the 2006 facelift onwards.
If I had the money I'd be swapping to this.....
