K reg Impreza Type RA

Very rare model, I've only seen 2 other red ones, most are white. I'm the second owner, I've owned it for approx 5 years. It's only been used at weekends. And never used in winter. Milage is 75000 - All MOT's to prove. I have covered only 17000 miles in 5 years so have decided to sell due to lack of use. Always warmed up and cooled down and serviced every 3000 miles by me (ex Renault mechanic) never been tracked or crashed. This car is my pride and joy and wants for nothing.

Body work is very good for the age of car, has a odd stone chip/ mark but no rust or damage. Was garaged all year round up until a few months ago (new garage being built)

Just fitted a DCCD box with one of spiders DCCD controllers which runs in auto or manual. Made such a difference, car no longer pushes on when coming out of tight bends/roundabouts. The box and controller alone with the diff swap out was 1200 quid.

It's an amazing car to drive, once you go out in it you never want to park it up again, fantasic for B road blasts.
This is the second time I have put it up sale, the first time I just could not do it and backed out of selling but I have made my mind up and it's going this time. I'm going to get something the wife can use, maybe a BMW 330 coupe or Civic Type R.

Awesome in every way. I shall go to sleep tonight thinking of ways to raise the cash

Good luck matey

 

P.s. Don't do it

 

Dont suppose you'd be intrested in PX against a blob eye that has FSH and a few extra's like leather interior and sunroof?

 

Fud I'll take some tomorrow. Dccd is 5 speed, top speed is around 113 mph.

Really really don't want to sell it Stu, I'm still not 100% certain I want to sell it.

 

Sorry mate, I've seen a Civic I'm after, time for a change.

 

I want to buy it just so noone else can have it ! proper scoobs like this come up very rarely indeed. Priced to sell IMHO

 

What gearbox code is that then mate to have top speed of 113mph?!!

 

YHM..

Good question, the code sticker is in my tool box. Standard RA which I think is TY something VB3BA if my memory serves me right.

Good luck with the sale, it wont hang around long as its a beauty

 

cheers, it's my pride and joy. Can't see a civic being as much fun. I'm talking myself out of selling it now.
