2000 Subaru Forester Dynastar

Preamble:

Vivienne bought this car new in 2000. Erik drove it for a couple of years for work and Viv has been driving it again since 2006. We have bought a new Forester, so we are reluctantly offering this one for sale. The suspension on this car is phenomenal and the intake and exhaust have really woken up the engine. The car has been absolutely reliable and very versatile.

The Dynastar was a very low production, skier-oriented package offered only in the fall of 2000. This package included the following functional and cosmetic upgrades to the base L model Forester:

Raised suspension (about 1" higher than the base Forester)
Light silver upper/darker silver lower paint scheme with Dynastar badges
Heated front seats
Heated mirrors
Running boards
Roof rack crossbars
Leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
Keyless entry

The L model Forester had fog lights, cruise control, reclining rear seats, front map lights and rear drum brakes.

The good stuff:

All major service after warranty performed by CanJam
All lubricant changes done on time at various locations
Recent clutch, all brakes, rear wheel bearings, timing belt, serpentine belt, front exhaust pipe, (CanJam)
Absolutely no accidents of any kind

Extra stuff added:

STi version 7 struts and springs (the car now sits at the same ride height as a stock 2.5RS)
Scoobiesport exhaust
Whiteline steering rack mounts
Cold air intake
STi rear 18 mm sway bar
Rear strut brace
Subaru Legacy five-spoke alloy wheels with summer tires (not high performance)
Subaru CD player
Rear tonneau cover

Spares included with this car:

Original rear exhaust section (still in good shape)
All original intake plumbing
K&N air filter
Aluminum front skid plate and mounting hardware (not presently installed)
Original struts with springs (shocks in fair condition)
Trailer hitch (removed to fit the Scoobiesport exhaust), flat 4 wiring harness installed. This car towed only a box trailer or a 13' 750 lb camper trailer.

The bad stuff:

Two small rust spots (one under the passenger front door handle and one on the rear hatch release handle)
Road rash and scratches consistent with a car of this age and mileage
Slight tire-contact dent in RF fender, one door ding in RR fender
Punctured and patched LF headlight (a good used replacement goes with the car)
The clock has stopped working (don’t know why)
Abrasions on the roof caused by the Car 99 roof lightbar from the Black Bear Rally in 2006
A/C doesn’t work (everything else does)
207,000 km,

$4,000 obo

Will post pics when I get a chance to wash the car and vacuum it out.

hi...

The Ockwells were very kind in lending me this car when my gear box went in my golf.

This is a great car, very solid and in fantastic condition!!! I have never met a family that cares for their cars like the Ockwells.

If I was in the market I would have bought this car by now!!

Some one buy this car!!

Photos are at www.photobucket.com, look for anikracing, forester photos.

The wheels on the car now don't go with it, a representative sample of the Legacy alloys is shown.

The trailer hitch fits our new Forester, so I would like to keep it.

Hey Norm, I think that I gave you the wrong keys for the roofrack crossbars (I have two sets of crossbars). If the keyring had four keys on it then they are definitely the wrong ones (the other two keys are for my Thule roofbox).

Please drop me a line at anikracing <at> yahoo <dot> com.

Thanks
