It’s possibly worn out and in need of replacing.
The Forester was a popular model and yours should be highly sought after given its very low kays, the fact that it has been garaged, has a service record and is in good condition. I would out it at the top end of the price range, plus a little, which would put it at $6000-$6500.
THERE really isn't much to separate these two -- they're the class acts in the compact all-wheel-drive category. The CR-V offers a little more interior room, and it's a more flexible interior set-up as well, but the Forester is a little better equipped, with four-wheel disc brakes and cruise control. Both will perform well around town and have limited ability to go bush, but I'm assuming you won't be doing any heavy-duty bush bashing anyway. Look underneath for battle scars, scrapes and bumps on suspension parts, underbody and other bits and pieces of exposed hardware. It's also hard to get sand and dust out of cars, so look for evidence of dust build-up in door openings, under carpets and elsewhere.
