It's a nice looking car, wouldn't take much to make it an impressive v2 ? but personally even at £2k I wouldn't trust the history due to the bull****

Laughed my **** off. This bloke has no clue about subarus or performance cars in general. Gives us all a bad name, why can't he quote a realistic value. I'm guessing its between 225-280bhp is that something to be ashamed off??

This one is only 340! Missing some ponies, you can see where all the money's been spent. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-SUBAR...item3382a10359. Only needs a clutch. Paint and tyres before you can put these horses down at the mc d's carpark

The ad says:

the car has none of the subaru common faults no rocket cover oil leak
It's definitely a rare and special engine... rocket powered!!

All dealers give 3 months warranty, its the law.

8 grand will buy you an awesome classic. Be patient is my advice.

Has it got to be a modified car or type R ??

They can be a hand full especially a big power one and even more so if you've not owned one before. For most, a 300bhp classic is plenty.

Why not go with a standard'ish late classic sti for circa 4K to start with.

I have viewed this car but its a type r I really want in blue doesn't have to be modded but does have to be very tidy a mint standard unmolested one would be perfect but where would you find one of them, I don't think you would

If I had that sort of money to spend on a first scooby i'd go for this one.

Nice safe place to put your money and dip your toe in the subaru water.

and if money was no object it would be this beauty.

Im on my phone so admittedly the pics aren't perfect but it looks like a little surface rust, hardly a rare sight or huge cause for concern.
Its on the expensive side I think but hey, its a white jdm hawk with uber low miles. Pretty damb desirable imo.
