As some of you may know, my fiance and I have been searching the auction site for quite some time now to find a vehicle. We had planed on buying a EG4 at first, but really wanted another AWD for the winter months. We just sold our old 98 CRV, so this vehicle will be replacing it.
We ended up winning a 1998 Forester ST/B 5MT on Friday night. Auction grade of 3.5. Big thanks to Steve AKA SastradKK for all his help and time. It has been quite a few months of back and forth bidding on countless vehicles before we finally won this jem.
This is one of the rare 5-speed Forester's with the boosted engine. I believe it is the same engine as my version 1 WRX (ej20g) I don't believe they changed over to the K until later on, but I could be wrong. Either way makes no difference to me.
The car is currently at the port in Japan waiting on the next boat. I assume I will have it within the next couple months. It will be arriving at the port in Halifax where I will go pick it up. Same place where my other vehicles have arrived previously.
Anyways on to the pictures!!! Yes it's white ... bleehh not my first choice but they all seem to be that color haha..
I will keep everyone posted on arrival. I still need to get a customs broker, so that is next on my to do list.
