2000 Forester value

Go for the most you can get; you have a compelling vehicle on the surface. Just know that if someone starts using the car on a more regular basis than it's used now, it's a ticking time bomb for a major oil/gasket/engine issue.

My question I guess should have been posed an old vehicle brand/model with some desire and excellent condition have any premium? Do you price guides matter anymore?

FYI: I personally think till 2010 that Forester has been a dreadful vehicle. An overgrown Awd economy car.

IMO price guides only apply to vehicles within ten years of age.
After that it's up to the condition and desirability of the vehicle to determine it's value.

The early Volvo turbo coupe is a great example. They weren't as desirable when new when compared to similar cars like the e30 BMW. Several years later the e30 (and M3) have enjoyed strong resale values and are appreciating in value far better than the Volvo.

Did you sell it yet?

Depends on the market. Running and driving cars in halfway decent shape, even with high miles by me go for at least $2K, and usually closer to $3K.
