Anyone know anything about this car? looks very clean in pics, maybe too clean??

Cheers,

It's been mentioned before (here or on 22B....)

It's a bag of **** basically.....don't touch it.

 

i think that well know member jimmyinrugby viewed it once and said the paint was all different shades and not a great car.

 

Yep the car is a wrongun apparently. Steer clear !
It's been advertised for a while now on PH and ebay.

I like the line, "mint for its age",,,

What does that mean ? It's either mint or it's not regardless of age.

 

 

I remember this a few months ago.I think hamster viewed it and said it was a bit of a dog.
If it was mint it would've sold long ago.

Thought something was dodgy.

The Benefits of a forum...... Nothing gets hidden. Thanks for the replies chaps!

 

Wasnt me Danny, but I did read that it was multicoloured and not a "show car"

 

It was me that viewed it and every panel is a different shade of white and it's been badly repaired. It was up for around £2600 IIRC when we viewed it and it was a standard car with no history then a week or so later this guy started advertising it with 351bhp etc etc etc.

Just found the link to my original thread about the car https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...n-odd-one.html

 

I went to see it with Paulo P, the car is a state!!! It was up for around £2600 and I didn't touch it at that price!!! There was being sold as a standard car, suddenly, a few days later it's got a forged engine, 350bhp and is mint!!!?

Save yourself time and find another car, the pictures on the advert are over-exposed/photoshopped, to hide the many shades of white on the different panels.

 

Mine and Paulo's replys are almost the same!!!

 

it looks good to me looking at the advert, bloody fantastic advert i might add though

 

Funny that mate considering we both came to the same conclusions I should also state we wouldn't have paid more than £2k for it because it's in such poor condition and as you can see in the advert someone has drilled a hole in the roof to fit a new ariel rather than repair the one that is in the rear quarter Also look at the black patches where the rear arches meet the sills and that gives you a good indication of what's going on here.

are these black strips not normally there then? seen these on several impreza`s

 

I believe UK's have a piece of black trim there but these were painted on and I guess it was done due to rust?

 

you can see the paint colours on the bottom pic of the advert. White skirts/bumper and magnolia bodywork.

 

£4.5k seems ok if in good nick ... Been on there 26 days though so something clearly not right.
