Just bought a 2010 Forester for 2000 CAD (1450 USD). This chariots got 256k KM (159k miles). Bought it from the only owner, he’s had the timing belt, water pump, exhaust system, and timing belt replaced. Barely any rust underneath (quite rare living in Ontario). Came with 4x winter tires on rim, and 4x summer tires, all brand new!

First thing I did was put in the summers with new lug nuts, next week I’m going to do do all my maintenance (AWD oils, transmission oil, engine oil, coolant flush), get it detailed, and undercoated.

I’m curious on what mods I should make since this will be my daily for a while I hope. Thinking about taking it on a trip to BC this summer as well.

I think I got a good deal, what do you guys think?

Hey y’all. I just bought a used forester for quite cheap off my neighbour. One of the first things I noticed is the climate controls are quite stiff. Opened up the front and this is what I saw…

Gross? Yes. But the question is how do I end up cleaning this without damaging anything? It seems like the syrupy liquid is what’s making it so stiff.
