Anyone on here?
Seems quite cheap, if the engine and box still goes for a lot.

Is it just the front n/s wing? Unbolt, throw away, replace with a new one!

Doesn't look too bad, I've seen far worse being put back on the road!

Looks like door, wing, light, bumper, and who knows what underneath. By the time they paid a garage to repair it, hire car etc. it's only a 5k car, so no wonder they wrote it off. Judging by the wannabe rally driver stickers, it's probably been thrashed everywhere anyway. Probably why it ended up like that. Could be Worth parting out at that price though.

Front wheels don't look like they are sitting at a great angle.

I don't think it's worth a punt 83000 miles on an 03 engine and box non dccd probably ready for a refresh, shell's foobard front bumper wings and one door wheels bent too, can't see any mods mods might just be a grand in it when all said and done, for the hassle factor and work involved I wouldn't bother.

Might be a good one for some WRX owner who wants to take a chance.

Do you know how much it went for? They always say theres not a lot of profit in the cars for them.

I bought my classic from there 6 years ago.

Impreza's fetch good money as salvage, on Copart unless you put the vehicle in your watched items you never know what it fetches, you have to be a signed up member for any transactions, & I did not watch it.

OK cheers. So chances are it may not have even been Essex based before it got written off, as they could've bought it from anywhere in the country.
