Something like that. Easy to drive, comfy as hell, reliable, good mpg, looks good and feels torquey and fun to drive. Really good cruiser.

OK I bought this car:
http://www.cars.com/go/search/emailT...paId=330058012
'04 Subie Forester XT automatic 100K miles
$11,000 out the door AKA $10,100 before MD tax and tags. 100K miles but single owner, engine and tranny felt good, decent inside and out, full service history.
Huzzah!

great choice. You have now joined the ranks of people like me that are bicurious and own a *** car AND a dyke mobile.
Enjoy your subbie. BTW Modded foresters are great

Plans are to keep it emissions compliant- obd2, idle sniff. Install a 3" quiet exhaust, cobb accessport, lower it cheaply, tint the ******, install some cop push bars

Annapolis Suby is good people. You can buy an Accessport from them if you don't go used, and they're mod friendly. They also give the best deals on OEM parts and are a sponsor over at NASIOC.
Good choice aside from it being black.
MD doesn't idle sniff OBDII cars. At least not at the Glen Burnie/Ordnance Rd station.
Plug in and go. I've never even had them look for a cat.
Pick up a used STI suspension and your best bet for a quiet exhaust is the Cobb, but I haven't been in the FXT game in a while.

Good choice, I'd love to get a nice FXT. I know you don't want to mod the car much, but all of the sti hardware (turbo, up-pipe, intercooler, ecu, etc.) are all OEM direct bolt-on upgrades. There's a good forester owners forum too (can't remember the web address).
Congrats, and enjoy.

A day one update--- well the car works very nicely at what I bought it for- driving in shitty traffic on shitty roads. Very nice car and very powerful. Turbos FTW!
