Its been a while since i sold my classic. After owning it for a good 5 years i thought it was time for a change, either a blob or a hawk, although i have heard many bad things about the 2.5..
I am not looking for something to modify to silly power, but a second toy that i can mod up to 350 max to be honest..

however i am looking for something standard, possibly a wrx sti blob.. as for a hawk, i am not sure whether to gamble a 2.5..

Does anyone have any advice, best places to look?..

Cheers

 

Spec-C Blobeye the best base for mid level tuning that is practically already set up....where To find a good one?...Thats the trick really!...Just keep your eyes peeled on Subaru forums recommended car selling sites even face book groups the odd one or two pop up now and then.SJ.

 

Hurst cars Gets some nice ones mate

 

Spec C - i think that is a bit out my price range.
I would probably like to get a decent wrx sti blob for around 6k to 7k max?

Hurst cars are great. but again i've heard they are pretty expensive to.

 

lol, you need twice as much for 1 from hursts

that’s just a quick look on eBay whilst I’m chilling in work

 

Had a look at these, not bad, but i reckon i can get a cleaner one for the same buck.
i had a look on autotrader, some decent ones on there...

i wont be able to purchase anything untill this lock down is over..which sucks as i would like to have one for the summer..

 

Harlow jap autos

 

i understand mate, it’s a fantastic feeling going to look for a new Subaru. The only thing that pi55es me off is when travelling hours to view a car only for it not to be as described but in a negative way

 

check the wr1 as its missing quite a few bits from it ,,, no Brembo brakes , no WR1 interior ,, so prob missing other stuff aswell ,, if you dont know exactly what your looking for you could miss stuff

 

wr1 is dodgy as ****
Appears to have a 5 speed box but cant quite see and also brakes look wrong, should be gold brembos.

I'd suspect a dodgy rebuild using wrx parts


Second one is ok but v high mileage

 

The car is coming up as a WRX. No engine bay shots either.

 

Love the knowledge on scoobynet. its good to know that there are plenty of cars out there that do not seem genuine...

Il keep my eyes peeled for a standard wrx sti if possible at the right price.

 

amen to that mate, I’m round the corner from that blag wr1 in moreton and would gladly look for you but it looks a it iffy

 

finding a decent blob for 6-7k will be a hard find these days to be honest as most will need work at that price and others will be snapped up by the breakers lol

 

completely agree mate, maybe a standard high mileage one but there a 06 widetrack for 7500

 

I brought a widetrack a couple of months ago for 6500 but it needs the front panel under the rad replacing and a couple of other bits doing but ill be selling that on once im done with it so it might be of interest to you but im not in any rush to get it done at the mo lol

 

Wr1 has been doing the rounds for ages, wrong brakes, no fogs, wrong gear **** etc. Avoid like the plague. The widetrack could be worth a look. I had my wr1 on autotrader before Covid for £8500, but I didn’t realise I only had 6 weeks mot left which probably put people off. Might put it back on after, but I’m not sure I want to sell it anymore.

 

Hi I’ve got a blob STi type Uk widetrack with PPP in black with 87k available after lock down for £9250, pm for full spec

 

Hi,

I sometimes toy with the idea of selling mine, Black Blob WRX, 57-58k, full Subaru service history, I’m the second owner, just had cambelt and oil service. Stock bar wheels, subtle cat back and RCM gear ****. Would be after around £7.5k probably. Was my daily when I first bought it, nearly 400 miles per week on it of boring roads and traffic was just a waste of its low mileage, so I retired it from daily duties, plus I work as a Paramedic Practitioner for a GP surgery and I wasn’t a fan of using it for home visits! Absolutely love it, but it see’s little use now and with a track car and a Defender camper to finish, I do think of moving it on, but then I drive it again and forget about that idea and thus go in circles!

 

You'll be waiting a long time to get 7.5k for a wrx

 

Most likely true, but it would be an enjoyable wait!

In all seriousness, if I were considering selling I would see what the market it doing and price accordingly.

NB: I wouldn’t expect to get 7.5k, I’d take £7k currently and wouldn’t give a hoot how long it took

 

The wr1 was on here years ago. The story was that it was getting repossessed by the finance company and the guy stripped it of all the good stuff including the 6 speed before the took it off him.

 

@Aaron Perry - looks like a tidy ca, but i think that price is a little of, i think you'd get 6k to 6.5k but hey like you mentioned, it would be an enjoyable wait. Can you PM me some more pics of it please? interior, engine bay etc...spec list, if possible.

Love the enjoyment of searching for an impreza..i will be sure to be back in one this year. but depending on the lockdown i think it will be late this year or early next year.
