I think some running changes were added in 05 or 06, so they are a bit more desirable than the 04. But Tofu here is really alluding to the fact that this is a single mature driver owned vehicle, so that makes it rare and more desirable.

I always say this because it always happens -- these awesome deals always show up when I am in the least prepared position to buy, and they NEVER come up when I actually want to buy...

Car runs fine, it's currently my daily driver, no leaks from what I can tell. The car is currently tuned on cobb stage 1 map, but can be tuned to stage 2 with the V3 accessport. Accessport V3 will be sold for an extra $300.

I'm pretty firm on price, no test drives without cash in hand. I could be interested in a swap for a van with cash adjustment.

2001 Toyota Altezza Gita Wagon (IS300 Sportcross) 6spd manual - $7500 (Vancouver) https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/5977293632.html



Quote:
2001 Toyota Altezza Gita AS200 Z-edition (Lexus IS300 Sportcross wagon)

JDM RHD vehicle. Imported from Japan. Auction Grade 4.

Engine: 1G-FE Inline 6 Beams 2.0L 160hp
Transmission: 6 speed manual with Torsen LSD
Mileage: 109000km
Color: Silver
Interior: Black cloth interior

Fully equipped
Power folding heated mirrors
Keyless Entry
17" alloy wheels and tires with 70% tread


Just had BC inspection performed.
Fresh oil change
Alignment performed
Timing belt replaced at 92000km but also comes with new timing belt and water pump kit

Great daily driver with good fuel economy and torque. Its rated to run on 87 octane. Way more reliable than a Legacy or Stagea and you can get all local parts from the IS300.

Or make the ultimate drift wagon with a 1jz turbo swap from a Chaser Mark II Crown, or a 2jz turbo from a Supra or Aristo.

Very unique! Wonder why Lexus didn't stay in the wagon market?

06+ were facelifted and the motors were upgraded as well. On paper it says it only makes 5hp more but that's due to change in how they rated motors - Honda said it was actually more like 15hp more.

Power memory seats showed up, an upgraded MID in the dash and a few other items.

I also think it's a better looking car as well (I'm biased as I own an 07).

More details: 2006 TSX Model Year Changes - Acura TSX Forum

There are a fair number of 04-05s available for cheap with manuals but the facelifted ones are very rare - I searched for nearly a year for a manual back in the day and gave up and got an auto.

That's a really good deal!!! If the suspension leaks just put coilovers on it, probably cheaper than repairing one corner of the hydraulic suspension.

Yah, to my knowledge, the WRX engine in that Forrester is what makes it 'rare'. If you check local CL, very few Forrester XT listed.

Actually it's the 5 speed that makes it rare. The XT sold well, but most of them were sold to extreme soccer moms who wanted the grunt of a turbo, but did not want to row their own gears. The 5 speeds that were sold typically end up in the hands of car guys. I know of a couple really nice FXT's that have been owned by the same guys since day one. You just don't need to sell Subarus, they're such great cars.

This is an awesome car, and one I've been looking for since selling my STi. But at $15k, the guy is nuts. This is a $12k vehicle at best, even with 97,000km.

Nice find! Frankly speaking, at 159K kms, for a 2008, not even that high really.

It's actually an Outback, according to the pictures provided. Same engine in both, I presume.

Yup, Outback. Not a Forester. I love the Forester XT of that generation. It's the manual trans mated to the turbo motor that makes it rare and a potent combo. I too have been yearning for one since I sold my STi. Perfect utilitarian hoon mobile

car has no swaybars either. even if you figured out a solution it was designed for hydraulic body control and it would never drive the same without it.

You're right, went back to take a lookie, it is the Outback wagon, not Forrester although the listing title says, Forrester ??!!
