Hi, a few years ago I purchased a 2005 Forester for my son on his P’s.
The car now sits on our lawn with a spun bearing and he has moved on to a Holden Ute (sad choice IMO).
I don’t know what to do with the car. Body is in good condition.
I don’t need it and don’t know whether it’s worthwhile repairing and selling or just selling as is.
As I’m not a Subaru driver, I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Is it manual or auto?
You could replace the engine with a 2nd hand one ($2,000?), if you want the hassle, and then sell it, or sell it as is and let the buyer deal with the engine problem.
Either way somebody will buy it at the right price, if the body is as good as you say it is.

Thanks, it’s a manual.
Then there’s the cost of fitting a second hand engine so I guess it could be $3000 all up.
How would I sell it as is?
