04 Forester XT, 5 speed, 144K miles, $5900
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
From the ad it sounds like it needs the valve cover gaskets done, drivers seat has some tears and there is a good mar in the rear bumper. Trying to convince the wife to dump our possessed Monte Carlo, I don't mind putting some work into whatever replaces it but I don't want another bottomless money pit, so is it worth pursuing or is it a pass?

They're fun little cars, but being turbocharged, they do require a bit more maintenance. Seeing how it is advertised as needing a clutch soon, and there's smoke at startup, and it has an unnecessary BOV (that you can hear working!) you would at least know what you're getting into.
NP for what it is, but be ready to fix stuff very soon.

Considering the oil smoke and it needing a new clutch shortly... I'd offer more like $4500.
I'd also make sure the timing belt was serviced properly and there are receipts for it.
Also, I'd make sure there's no rust. Pay real close attention to the fender wells.
