Known for its practical wagon-style design, excellent visibility, and year-round versatility, the Forester remains a popular choice for Alaska driving conditions. The 2.5XS trim offers additional comfort and convenience features while retaining the utility and capability associated with Subaru's AWD platform. Finished in silver with a gray cloth interior, this Forester is equipped with a power moonroof, heated front seats, power windows and locks, cruise control, air conditioning, alloy wheels, roof rack with crossbars, rear cargo area, and an aftermarket touchscreen stereo. Additional exterior accessories include a front hood deflector and rear window spoiler. The vehicle presents in fair overall cosmetic condition, showing typical wear consistent with its age and 196,892 miles. The exterior exhibits scratches, minor dents, paint blemishes, and areas of corrosion, including visible rust developing along a rear wheel arch. The interior shows wear and staining to the cloth upholstery, carpeting, and frequently used surfaces, including a tear in the driver's seat bolster. An additional set of four tires is included as photographed. The roof rack and exterior trim are present, and the vehicle retains its factory alloy wheels. During cataloging, the vehicle's check engine light was illuminated. An OBD-II scan showed stored diagnostic trouble code P0442 – Evaporative Emission System Small Leak Detected, indicating an evaporative emissions system fault. No further diagnosis or repairs have been performed, and the underlying cause has not been confirmed. The vehicle's remaining mechanical condition and operation should be independently verified by prospective buyers. With its manual transmission, all-wheel drive, practical cargo space, and familiar Subaru drivetrain, this Forester offers a versatile platform for daily transportation, winter use, or a potential maintenance and repair project.
