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.

 

if you've got some pics or a link to the advert, Im sure some one will tell you.

 

Lots of advice on this thread.

Here is the link for the advert, theres pics and a bit about the car here, the applied model code is GC8C48D the seller says anyway.

subaru impreza mcrae v-limited 300+bhp no swaps/swap on eBay (end time 31-Jul-09 18:33:30 BST)

 

well its the right colour and the applied code is ok. has the correct seats.
yup looks ok. do you mind me asking how much you paid. i would love one of these and wonder what they go for. i have standard wrx at the mo

 

Not overkeen on that big gap in the bonnet....

Tony

 

Yeah me neither, apparently they are bonnet raisers, never seen anything like it before so if i get it on Saturday i'll probably be changing back to standard if i can.

 

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 would put you off by the 3 bar?? and i've had it HPi checked and all ok, he said he has 2 folders full of receipts and service history etc for all work that has been done, still appreciate any advice though so when i go to see it i can ask anything that anyone on here knows that i don't.

 

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"

 

the v2 sti 555 was built to celebrate Colin McRae winning the WRC in 1995
500 saloons made
100 wagons made

 

as said no such car as v limited mcrae, its a just a v limited.

this is a series mcrae, which as said is a uk only car, this is my old one which was in origial condition.
