Used Car for Sale

This is the first "Used Car Sale" I have posted on the site, but how could I resist when one of San Antonio's premiere poet, Naomi Shihab Nye, can vouch for the car! Here's her note:

"I can also vouch for the car! It is really trusty and even has one of those cool Subaru ice chests built into the back floor of it... please feel free to forward this message, he is anxious to sell as he is leaving to Vancouver in less than 2 weeks...naomi"

Here's a description of the car:

2000 Subaru Forester L - One owner, clean, runs great! - $5000 (Downtown SA)

For sale is a 2000 Subaru Forester L purchased new from the dealer (one owner). 5-speed manual transmission. This car looks really nice. I have performed regular maintenance at the proper intervals, and have installed new tires twice. The interior is very clean, and shows wear consistent with an 8 year old car. The engine runs great, and the vehicle has never broken down while driving. Car's exterior has no dents or major blemishes, but does have various minor nicks and scratches accumulated over time. Mileage is 118500.

The timing belt and water pump have just been replaced (routine required maintenance).

The A/C blows cold, the heater works well, all power windows/locks/mirrors work, front and rear wipers/defog all work great. The factory CD player stopped reading discs, so I replaced it with an aftermarket Sony CD player in 2007. The vehicle is equipped with a keyless entry system (one remote).

Some things you should be aware of: - New clutch installed within first two years due to tightness issues. This issue was covered under warranty and has never resurfaced. - Faulty "Check Engine" light – Many early 2000s Foresters have this issue, and it has to do with the oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor was replaced, and the light continued to stay on while driving. Subaru dealer tells us not to worry about it, and turned off the light for us. - Side panels have been dented on two occasions. Both instances were minor and were repaired by body shops. No major body damage, engine damage, or frame damage has ever been inflicted. - Vehicle color is dark green (forest green). Type "L" trim.

I live in downtown San Antonio, Texas. I will be available on weekends if you wish to come look at the car or test-drive it.

If you are interested, please call my cell at (210) 777-7154 and we will set up an appointment.

Thanks –
