Hi guys, Have finally sold my car so as we all know money burns holes in pockets. Have found a car relatively local, so was just trying to find out if anyone knows any history of the car etc. It is located in Cardiff and after meeting a few of you at the Cardiff meet last week though on here would be a good place to start. I have posted a link to the car below - unfortunately there is no registration to see. Any comments would be appreciated!!

It looks a decent enough car but in all honesty it's well overpriced, you could find a new widetrack (later) Blobeye STi for the same if not slightly cheaper.

If it is in outstanding condition then fair enough, but otherwise I would look elsewhere.

 

Never been a fan of Williams. Subaru4You are very good and I have had kit from them and been down there in Newbury. You could call them.

Thanks Ty, im not too fussed as to if its a widetrack or not ( probably coz I don't know much about scoobies at the moment ). My main reasons for being interested in it ( were not the wheels - theyd be going) was that it had been forged and seemed to have had a fair bit spent already and sensibly................ and I don't like having **** go wrong all the time so was hoping for a bit of security with that one!!
Cheers max

 

Cheers, I may well give them a ring Monday!

This is what speed reading does for you, I just looked at the mileage / year and formed an opinion based upon that.

If you want a heavily modified car then it's pretty much got it all with the exception of the brakes but with the correct brake pads/discs they can be a very good brake setup.

If the car has been built to the high standard that they list of components would suggest then yes it's worth the money, the one thing I will say is that you could be easily buying someone else's problems as well so I would insist upon some form of warranty.

 

And that would be Max wouldn't it?

 

Yes correct its me!!

I was slightly under the assumption that a garage offers a 3 month warranty - obviously I would check first etc......

I've looked at that many cars - not in person, subaru and mitsubishi my head is fried! Gradually I think I'm grinding the neighbour down too with all my questions. Lol

 

No problem Max, if you need any help or if your partner in crime gets sick then just ask away.

You are correct they should offer a warranty of some description just read the small print to make sure what it covers and if there is a value limit on any claims that might be made on it.

 

Well, you couldve put a bloody better introduction on couldnt you

As max has said, he has accompanied me on the odd run we've done and to a couple of the Cardiff meets, so he knows some of you already

I was of the thinking when he mentioned it to me earlier that its overpricced by 2.5-3k, but having then read the spec sheet and all of the dolly someone has shelled out on it, and its low mileage, i think its got to warrant paying over book price (to a certain extent, and obviously making sure everything else is in good order). Certainly worth a look i think and a test drive.

I just bloody wish youd make your mind up, subaru or mitsi...your as bad as Ty!!!

 

I'm pretty sure i've seen this down llandow afew times, looks a nice car and spec'd up.

Hard choice through, EVO or Scoob.....

 

Well as you say rob, I didn't want to go into a massive introduction and bore everyone like I have you. I think next weekend is gonna be a test drive day!!

 

Was on ebay for a good while this one.

Based in Neath iirc.

Cars got a good list of mods and if it has the paperwork/invoices to back it up then go for a nose!

Good luck.

 

As you know, i never get bored of talking Subaru, but like theyre exhaust note, Mitsubishi's

 

In track Matt or spectating? As long as its been well looked after then it could be a descent car, if its seen a bit of track action it may well also have a descent brakes/handling set up

 

Only spectating mate

 

Find the original owner and bypass Williams. He does sale or return and makes a wedge.

Cost me £5k buying from there. Won't fall for that one again.

 

Good call, thanks.

The pics dont show a reg, i'll see if one of us can get the regostration of the car and use one of my contacts and get the owners details.

 

Let me know the reg and I'll ask about in Neath.
Check eBay incase the old listing is still about.

 

Well my investigation skills are on top form tonight......... must be this Carlsberg. After some research I found the thread for sale from april 2013

https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...sive-spec.html

I think its safe to assume this is the same car, as same spec, rebuilt by Subaru for you at same mileage, remapped JGM etc etc.

Reg is WX04 UZC.

 

This is my old car and one which I had all the work done on, as said, I sold this car a long time ago for less then it currently is with far less mileage, far less owners ( it must be getting on for 10 owners now) (I believe its now had 3 since I sold it!) , It always seems to be up for sale which to me seems a bit strange, It was cherished when I had it however I cannot comment on the owners after

I have sent you a PM

 

I second the choice of bypassing Williams, very little of their stock belongs to them so the profit markup tends to be quite high as it can sit there forever if need be. Find the seller and save yourself a few grand
