2005 Subaru Forester XT 5-Speed For Sale
This 2005 Subaru Forester XT is a rare 5-speed manual project car located in Bothell, Washington. This enthusiast-favorite "FXT" has covered approximately 219,000 miles and has been garage-kept for the past six years. While the vehicle starts and drives, it is being sold as a project due to a likely head gasket failure. The car features a lowered stance on WRX suspension and an interior upgraded with black WRX cloth seating. This is a prime candidate for a dedicated "FSTi" tribute build, especially given the extensive list of high-quality JDM and STI performance parts available to accompany the sale.
