Also, you can be driving along normal, and it will start to buck and shake pretty bad (like when you’re learning manual), and if you push in the clutch then let it out again or change gears it will smooth back out but usually start back into the bucking and shaking. I drove the car too, and basically what happens is when you take off from a start there is very reduced power, then all of the sudden it will “kick in” and have normal power. Basically, it runs okay when started right from cold but after a bit when it’s warmed up a little, it begins running very poorly. For a little while he has been having issues with rough running and odd behavior by the car. I have found Andrew to be a trustworthy, kind, and honest car salesman and I would recommend these services highly to Hudson Valley residents.Hi everyone, I wanted to get some thoughts on the problems a friend of mine is having with his 2002 Subaru Forester (2.5 SOHC 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual, 120k miles). I've brought my cars in for questions or repairs over the years, all of which were resolved within warranty quickly or taken care of fairly. Andrew has made financing a very easy and effortless process every time, taking care of all necessary communication with multiple banks for me. He gave me a fair trade in value, and a great price on the newer vehicle. When I recently returned to trade in for a newer model, he made the process completely seamless for me, sourcing the perfect car quickly, down to the color and year I wanted. After my first vehicle was totaled in a serious accident in 2017, he worked with me very patiently to find me another vehicle, deal with all the accident paperwork, and took off a substantial amount from the second car to compensate my hardship of losing the first vehicle so quickly. I personally absolutely love working with Andrew. I just purchased my third car from All Motor Cars this week.
2003 SUBARU FORESTER FORUM HOW TO
If I can find how to do it on YouTube, I will do it myself. I also replaced the drive shaft myself ($400) as opposed to paying between $800-$1200 to let someone else do it. I am a female, but a lot of the maintenance and repairs I do myself. I will probably keep on repairing it unless the motor blows again. It’s safe and I don’t have to worry so much that it’s such an expensive car if I do happen to slide off the road in the snow.

It’s like no other in the Tahoe winter with the studded tires. At that point I was like “I have so much into it I may as well fix it” so I got all the dings and dents repaired and new paint job. Then a tourist hit and ran and destroyed my rear quarter panel. I have replaced a lot of suspension and steering parts, starter, fuel pump, control arm end links, front brakes and rotors, front shocks, driveshaft, battery, front left cv axel, new front lower ball joints, new clutch again, rewire head light assemblies, put premium rims and nice stereo system, studded snow tired. My boyfriend rear ended someone and we replaced the quarter panel, head light assembly and found a matching hood with a scoop ( so now I’m always challenged to race cause everyone thinks it’s an STI-I wish). I have 203000 miles on chassis and only about 70,000 miles on new motor. $1710.00 later new motor new clutch assembly. Because I was still making payments I opted to buy a motor from Japan, which is a 2006 Impreza motor. Turned out mice had made a nest in the catalytic converter (because it was stored for a year before I bought it). People had the nerve to ask if I had oil in it. I was making payments on it when coming back from Bay Area, going up the hill in el Dorado hills, I threw a rod out the bottom of the motor at 154000. I feel I push it at times because I often am driving up and down the mountain. It screamed up the mountain in 3 rd and 4 th gear no problem. I went from tahoe to Bay Area and back almost every week for 5 years. This is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle.
