Would you buy this??
Hi...one of my colleagues at work went to view this today...what do you guys think?
http://www.dicksonsmotorgroup.co.uk/...age=4&ID=37237
I personally I do not like the paint job....he has been offered it at 13.5k with a trade in of 9k for his Clio 172 which he paid 10.8k for around 8 months ago.

You MUST question the mentallity of the owner
Could you REALLY drive down the street in THAT ...... knowing that everyone is laughing at you and calling you a bell-end??

not sure about the service history....but he was a bit pissed anyway as the garage wouldnt let him test drive it without signing documents to basically say he was buying it...and no he is not a boy racer..lol..he is a respectable 39 yr old

I like the paintwork its different but you need to know the history ?
Its not worth 13.5k more like 10k you have to remember what you spend on your car dont mean it goes on the top line.

It's the mechanics and electrics that really count and to be honest you can't tell a thing from pictures. I would suggest your colleague getting someone who knows about Imprezas to have a look.
Not being funny, why would anyone pay £6k for a paint job like that - definitely not to my taste.

What's the bet the previous owner got offered sod all for it as "It's too extreme for the general market"?

I woudn't even consider it!
1) It's absolutely vile
2) Would be highly suspicious & unhappy 'bout the test drive issue

WELL over priced for that year, more like 8K.
Who gives a crap if its got "£6K paintwork" I have got a few £k's worth of mods on my car but woudnt expect them to add that value to the car.
Just check out other prices for Scoobys of the same year. In my opinion steer well clear.

Don't worry about the colour or price.
SIGN to buy the car before you can have a test drive (there havin a laugh) My next spoken word would be GOODBYE after all there are plenty of good ones to choose from out there.

What a way to ruin a 2 door impreza
If I had a type R I'd cherish it, someone must have had too much money to not appreciate what they had
