well it’s the end of a long love affair , i’ve owned her since 2008 , a 2004 forester sti , but time and a bit of rust has caught up with her , she’s now on around 185,000 miles , the only mechanical issues was a engine rebuild and a drivers door window motor , the classic paint detect on the drivers side rear window , seems to let water in and rots our chassis rail so she would not pass her next mot , im just breaking her now and wondering where i can store everything , shame to see her go one of the best cars i’ve had

That's a pity, but great to hear it lasted 185k!

Are you selling the bits yourself or sending to a breaker?

Good to hear it was relatively trouble free, other than those well known issues. I've just taken possession of a 2006 Forester I had imported. Its a 2 litre turbo, so hoping to avoid that engine rebuild.
