In progress

2001 Subaru Forester

Parked for five years. Time to put this Forester back on the road.

Moss-streaked 2001 Subaru Forester back out on the highway.

The story so far

This Forester had been parked more than five years and was covered in moss, mold and plant growth. The owner needed it gone fast and let it go for $500. This time I refused to spend another $500 on a tow truck: I would only buy it if I could get it running and drive it home myself. The 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and manual gearbox have about 400,000 km on them. Whether that drive home actually happened — and whether a Forester with that mileage can be sold on again — is part of the story being put together for the channel.

What comes next

There's no episode on this car yet. As soon as one is out, it'll show up right here.
