Description

2008 Subaru Forester – Reliable, Ready & Great Value Price: $13,000 Manual * 131,500 km * Petrol * Station Wagon * Regn until Nov 2026 * WOF until Apr 2026

This 2008 Subaru Forester is a well-maintained, fully-driven SUV with plenty of life left for daily use, weekend trips, or adventure. Subaru’s legendary all-weather capability, combined with a confident manual gearbox and efficient petrol engine, make this a fun and practical choice for Kiwi roads.

Key Features & Highlights:

  • Strong All-Wheel Drive performance — Excellent traction in rain, gravel, and uneven terrain (standard Forester trait).
  • Manual transmission — Rare to find in this model and great for driver engagement and control.
  • 131,500 km only — Low for its age and driven responsibly.
  • Imported and well-looked after — Clean history with passed safety checks (no theft or finance issues).
  • Long registration & WOF — Registered until Nov 2026 and WOF valid to Apr 2026 — ready to go.
  • Fuel economy ~8.9 L/100 km — Balanced efficiency for its class. (MotorWeb data)
  • Spacious & practical interior — Accommodates family, gear, pets, and cargo with ease.
  • Reliable daily driver — Ideal for commuting, touring, or as a small suv

Why This Forester Stands Out:

  • Subaru’s reputation for durability and reliability — a vehicle that keeps returning the miles without drama.
  • Versatile 5-seat SUV layout — perfect for families or outdoor gear.
  • Manual turbo variants are uncommon and highly sought.

Whether you’re looking for a dependable everyday car or a capable small SUV for weekends away, this Forester ticks the boxes. Clean, honest, and priced right.
