Anyone know this jdm? Know anything about the trader? Most importantly does this seen over priced? Good spec and ticks all the right boxes just unsure about the price considering its a 2002. What you guys think before I go and have a look

A car is worth what someone is willing to pay

I have just paid £6.5 k for a bug but it was what I wanted with the mods I wanted

Do to me it made sence rather than buy a standard car and then spend the 5k doing the work

Plus I wanted a factory prodrive bug and nothing else

 

It has the orange UK headlights rather than the clear JDM ones

 

Did they make a 2002 blob jdm? Never seen one before

Martin

 

The DVLA are known to make "mistakes" when registering cars, you need to find out the date of manufacture from the seller

 

UK Blobs started on a 52 reg but as said above the DVLA are known to make mistakes.

The UK lights are a bit worrying though

 

Might be an SVA thing, I'm not sure the JDM lights are 'e' marked, so they may have been swapped in order to get it registered.

The car does have a separate rear fog, tinted rear windows and (I think) a rear wiper, so I doubt it's a UK.

 

Good call Would get the reg plate and speak to clinic as it does state they did all the work so would be a good place to start

 

So does mine and I imported the car direct from Japan myself so I know this is a legit Subaru thing.

 

Is yours an 03 model too?

 

Did the HIDs only start 2005 onwards then ??

 

Dont think they did, my bro has an 04 JDM and that has the clear HID lights and the car was imported by David Henry cars

 

Guys reading the add again I've realised I made a mistake it's a 2003/52 which would seem right? Going to ring the seller to get a few more details after work.

Martin

 

Yeah.

 

Would stay away to be honest they have a different name every few months.
If it's not got the clear headlights it's most likely had a front smash. They tend to get there cars very cheap!! And they are not in Manchester there based in Oldham

 

Just rung both numbers Couldt get an answer so will try back later. Seems very low mileage for a car of that age. Bit to good to be true. Probably give it a miss. Juggers are you based in Manchester mate?

Martin

 

Looks like a nice example, just hope its all genuine especially at that price.

Im selling my UK Blobeye, well im going to write up an advertise it this week if you want to have a look Martin. Mine has just done 46 or 47'000 (cannot recall lol)

Rob

 

yeh sure am

 

Selling again Rob ??

 

Nope my 54 plate Spec C got through with the (better) JDM tinted lights. Rear wiper not JDM spec afaik




TX.

 

The spec c did not get rear wiper (weight saving I guess) only the regular JDM has it

 

Ah, oops

TX.

 

Drop you a text later tonight rob 😉

Martin

 

Pm you later mate 😉

Think this car was up for sale on pistonheads a little while ago.... managed to find the old advert....

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4029598.htm

 

Brilliant find mate seems it is a genuine car although the traders have now bumped the price up a fair bit. Looks the same car a call to Scoobyclinic could back up the advert. Looking at the old add the cars history looks good

Martin

 

A bit over priced IMO

 

Could throw a 7k offer in though mate lol

Martin

 

Extra 1.5k as its the fashionable colour of the moment in white my mate has a dealership and was telling me anything in white at the moment is carrying a premium of about 1k even at the block

 

My friend just bought an 03 JDM sti with a good few mods, running approx 350bhp for just over £7k IIRC. I think £7k is probably about right for a non wide track 02 model.
