2014 SUBARU FORESTER 2.5i AWD – NO ACCIDENTS – 38 SERVICE RECORDS – REPLACEMENT CVT

127,403 Miles | Stock #J1050
VIN: JF2SJAAC9EH497354

If you're looking for an affordable, practical Colorado AWD SUV with a strong maintenance history, this 2014 Subaru Forester deserves a look.

This Forester has 2 Colorado owners, no accidents or damage reported to CARFAX, 38 documented service records, and nearly 10 years of ownership by its second owner.

Most importantly, we knew this Forester had a transmission concern when we purchased it — so we replaced the CVT before offering it for sale.

REPLACEMENT CVT TRANSMISSION

The auction disclosed a transmission concern when we purchased the vehicle.

Rather than simply clear codes or attempt a temporary repair, Ridgeline installed a replacement CVT transmission with approximately 100,000 miles.

The transmission work included:

• Replacement CVT transmission – approximately 100K miles
• 8 quarts BG Full Synthetic CVT Fluid
• BG CVT Plus Conditioner
• New transmission output shaft seals

The transmission replacement represents $1,711.28 in parts and labor alone.

$2,481 IN RIDGELINE RECONDITIONING

Our total current inspection, maintenance and repair investment in this Forester is $2,481.95.

In addition to the replacement transmission, our work includes:

• Complete multi-point safety inspection
• Extensive road test
• Full synthetic 0W-20 oil and filter change
• BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
• BG MOA Advanced Formula Oil Conditioner
• Three new Bosch wiper blades
• Coolant crossover pipe O-rings replaced
• New intake manifold gaskets
• New upper thermostat
• New radiator coolant hose
• New EGR gasket

During our inspection, we found the coolant crossover pipe O-rings leaking and the upper radiator hose deteriorating. Those issues were repaired rather than passed along to the next owner.

EXCELLENT CARFAX HISTORY

CARFAX reports:

• No accidents or damage reported
• No structural damage reported
• No airbag deployment reported
• No indication of an odometer rollback
• No open recalls reported
• No salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail or lemon title brands
• 2 previous owners
• 38 service history records
• Colorado ownership history

The second owner purchased the Forester in 2016 and kept it for approximately 9 years and 9 months, averaging only 9,735 miles per year.

EXTENSIVE RECENT SERVICE HISTORY

This isn't simply a vehicle that received occasional oil changes. CARFAX documents significant recent maintenance.

After purchasing the vehicle, Ridgeline went a step further and replaced the CVT transmission.

WHY BUY A 2014 SUBARU FORESTER?

The Forester is a great fit for Colorado drivers who want AWD capability without the size or fuel consumption of a large SUV.

Highlights include:

• Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
• 2.5L FB25 Boxer 4-cylinder
• 170 horsepower
• Timing-chain engine – no timing belt replacement
• Excellent ground clearance
• Excellent outward visibility
• Spacious passenger compartment
• Large cargo area
• Fold-down rear seats
• Comfortable seating for five

Our service records confirm the 2.5L FB25BA engine.

INSPECTED IN OUR OWN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP

Ridgeline isn't simply a used-car lot. We operate a full automotive repair facility and inspect our inventory before offering it for sale.

Our inspection included the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tires, undercarriage, HVAC, electrical systems, fluids, safety equipment and a road test. At inspection, all four tires measured approximately 8/32" tread, with approximately 5 mm front and 6 mm rear brake pad material.

We don't simply wash vehicles and put them on the lot. Every vehicle goes through a comprehensive inspection, receives the maintenance and repairs it needs, and is extensively road-tested before being offered for sale.

FREE 3-Month / 3,000-Mile Enhanced Powertrain Warranty
