hi all just browsing pistonheads ...................again and found this impreza up for sale .
personally i like it alot , but is it worth the asking price ? it does have some top parts and an impressive spec but what do you all think ?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3570348.htm

 

in simple terms - no

its worth what someone is willing to pay but no sane human being would part 23k for that

 

wonder how much you could get breaking it ?

 

They'll never get £23k back + it looks imho.

TX.

 

You probably guessed I'm not "keen" on it Dave

But no, not worth anything like that, mods or not. Was at the NBO when I went in 2007 and aside from the colour which I like, well the car made me vomit in the nearest bush

 

£50 note laquered into the bumper

 

What is that £50 "its only money" thing on the bumper?

 

Snap

 

well said awful
chris.

 

there must be another 300 of those £50 notes laquered around the car somewhere to warrant that price lol.

 

^ Now that makers sense.

 

yeah the paint in the last pic is stunning but its far too "show" for an impreza imo ? i dont think imprezas are a good choice for show cars ? the wheels are soooo bad i think he be lucky to get half what hes asking to be honest ! we all know money spent modding in most cases is money wasted ?

 

Not my cup of tea at all but I have to say the finish on the paint job looks spot on!

 

One mans munter is another mans love.

 

Yep, a beautifully painted turd!

 

The lass with Bermudan sunset hair is petty nice though, does she come with it?

 

Fair play the guys obviously put all his hard earned (probably 23k) into the car along with alot of time, but for £23k i'd want a proper Subaru, lucky if he'd get £12k for that to be honest.

Mixing JDM cars with the Euro look is a disaster. Would rather he strips it than seeing more "show car" imprezas driving about.

 

we saw this at donnington japfest. it looks vile. id take his seats and thats about it. trying way to hard....it is immaculate, but way to tacky and chavy in my eyes....

 

Prefer this myself, all go barely any show instead of the other way around.

Be lucky to get £2300 never mind £23000... What would you do with it, go to Tesco for your weekly shop? Those speakers would curdle your milk on the way home!

 

yeah but less the A380 wing

 

Take away the styling mods and there's not much else to be honest.
Not worth anything like the asking price.

 

i remember seeing that chap at japfest 2.. he said he bought that already done through ebay, paid 25k for it last year so hes asking less than what he paid.

 

Hi

I know the lad that built the car originally and there was a lot of money spent on it, more than any £23000.
It is not to everyone's taste but it was built as a show car predominately with enough power too.
Each to their own and all that.

It's a typical show car, but they don't go down well here as form over function isn't a scoobynet thing.

Certainly not my taste, and I am not sure laquering a £50 note to the bumper is actualy legal.

According to the law

"Concerning notes, the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928 says If any
person prints, or stamps, or by any means impresses, on any bank note
any words, letters or figures, he shall, in respect of each offence,
be liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding one pound.
The penalty was changed to £25 in 1977 (Criminal Law Act, s.31) and to
£200 in 1982 (Criminal Justice Act, s.46)."

 

There's a new saloon STi on Pistonheads (in WHITE too) for around the same price.

Know which one I'd prefer.

 

6-8k max. still running origional engine and everythign else is a bolt on

 

I would rather spend £23k on my electric meter, then pass said electric through my *********... Another scooby ruined.

 

It's been around for a few years and it was sold by its previous owner last year who spent lots and lots of cash on it, the paint and some of the work ws done by a member on here at the previous owners request, might not be to everyone's taste now but a few years back it was winning all the shows, I think it got best in the country at one point, a lot of time and effort went into it but agreed not to everyone's taste

 

Its nasty
