£800 to £1000 as high milage, green, and uk turbo. The oversized scoop also detracts from it

I'd say a bit more than that....(not loads more though)as long as has full history and isn't falling apart with rust. You'd struggle to find a good sport for 800-1000 surely?

So for a turbo I'd say 1200-1500.

This man does not like green scoobs

he is true though, green is a real marmite colour and the least favourite for buyers hence the lower value. Typical cost of a UK with similar mileage varies from £1100-£2000 with green making less.

As above pretty much, £1100-£1200, milage is the biggest thing reducing the price

'Uk spec & uk built'

UK spec, but no 'normal production' Subarus where/are built in the UK.

Along with no engine pics, high milage, chances are its rusting from the inside out......

Avoid avoid avoid....

I actually would go so far s to say I wouldnt buy a classic unless I was specifically looking for one, and I would always buy with a view to needing to carry out major surgery on the arches and sills.... Unless it is properly enthusiast owned (such as Silver Scooby Sports and Joes examples, of which I would buy without hesitation of rust issues) then the chances are it will be rusting without visible signs, and once it is visible you have a real problem
