Greetings,
My wife and I are looking for a new vehicle. We have 2 very young boys ages 6 months and 2.5 years. Looking for a family friendly vehicle that will be reliable, decent mpg, safe, and can handle PA winters. The forester seems like a logical choice. We are also considering a Tribeca.
We would very much like to purchase an older vehicle with very low miles. These gems are out there...Anyway, I came across a small family-owned used car dealership that has several foresters for sale:
2003 X with 65k miles asking 7988.00
2003 x with 74 k miles asking 6988.00
2006 x with 53k miles asking 10988.00
Asking prices for all seem in line with the exception of the 2003 with 65k miles - the asking price is about 1k high from what I can tell.
From the research I've done, there weren't any significant model changes during these years. Just wanted to see what kind of feedback I might get from some of the owners here of similar vehicles. Specifically what pitfalls/common model issues I need to be aware of. Any general advice is appreciated.
