Analysis
A 2021 Forester Touring with 68,069 miles should be a mid-$22k car. This one asks $25,155 — roughly $2,000-$3,000 over the comp set for 2021 Tourings with 60k-70k miles ($21.5k-$24.5k). The Touring trim is nice, but trim doesn’t erase 68k miles of wear.
Forestrs earn their resale, but you don’t pay resale-plus for above-average miles with no compensating advantage — no CPO warranty mentioned, no fresh major service. At this money you’re a short step from a lower-mile 2022. Verdict: MOOSED. Keep shopping; this segment has better-priced examples.
