Default Is it a V-limited Mcrae???

Hi all,

I am meant to be going to collect my Impreza which i have just bought on Saturday, it says in the description that it is a V-Limited Mcrae Turbo, is there any way of me telling whether it is a genuine V-Limited Mcrae Turbo before i go all the way to collect it, any help or info on this would be great.

Thanks
Dan.

its a wrx v-limited nothing mcrae about it at all. series mcraes are uk cars not imports. I would be put off by the fact the guy states the boost can be turned up to 3 bar!!!!

also it has a facelift front end on a N plate? mines a P plate and has a pre facelift front end. has it had a nasty front ender?

What are the differences between a standard wrx and the v-limited wrx??

widdows is right. its not a "v limted mcrae". there was a sti 555 and a v limted in japan. two different cars. neither a "mcrae"
only in the uk there was there the "mcrae"
