I've been looking at a RB5 advertised at my local Subaru dealership.
Its advertised at £12,995 with 55,000 miles Full Subaru SH oh and its a WR version!!!!!
Currently got some horrid gold multispoke alloys on but will come with original graphite speedlines.

Does this price sound about right??

More to the point, are you happy to pay the asking price?

Dealers always add a bit for haggling and to cover trade ins - never pay the screen price for anything

If he puts a set of graphite wheels on yes, but i'll be haggling no worries about that.

there are also some for sale on the RB5 OWners Club site

i'm sure u could haggle the dealer down a grand or so or if ur p/xing a car in get a good deal on yours.

RB170's looks a v clean car and has all the extras.

wotever u go for it'll be well worth the £££

Put a deposit on it so i'll be picking it up next week



Had a test drive OMG put me foot down and went like a rocket, and i got a wave from a impreza going the other way.

Sorry for babbling but it will be my first turbo'd car and my face is already aching from smiling so much!
Oh and a bonus its got a nice private plate as well T111 RBS!!
