Just bought her for a bargain £3700

 

Well done, that looks really nice!!! They are cheap as chips now, which is a bu66er if your selling, but great if your buying!!

 

jesus that looks like a great car for the money!! got loads of extras on it too!

mine will look pretty similar to that soon. I've got a bug wrx, also on a RK52 *** plate

 

crikes that is cheap-is it very high mileage or something?

If it is all straight tho then seems you got a right bargain

 

bloody hell!!! thats amazing, well done mate that looks very nice

 

ouch thats cheap, mine is a y reg, 50k miles, how much is it worth?

anyway i'm sticking with it until it drops dead, (fitting a focal box this weekend )

 

Bloody hell thats cheap, wish i'd waited a few months now

Looks good though!

whats the mileage on it?

 

Great car for the money boss.
Thats why I aint selling mine ever.
I paid 11k about 2/3 years ago for mine.
The bad boy is getting driven to the death

 

lovely car, with all the right mods too

wiley

 

Bargin, looks sweet

 

where can i get those headlights from for my S202
i am in the UAE but can get stuff delivered here if only available in the uk

 

exellent find what a bargin.

 

Spot on, I'd just add some JDM STi foglight covers and then I'd leave it!

 

no wonder mine hasnt shifted with bargains like that to be had.

hats off for the bargain mate and she looks clean

 

is it a ringer

 

i have to admit its a cat-d with no service history...that said it did come with £4,000 worth of reciepts from the scooby clinic, all work carried out in the last year.

the car is mint and i have had it for a week with no problems at all, until i opened it up tonight on the way home from work and gave it some beans and the engine managment light came on.


anyone know of a good place to get it looked over near southampton?

oh and it had done 66,000 miles

 

Cat D with engine problem for £3700, not such a bargain after all then. Hope you get it sorted.

 

Did you hit the rev limiter or change up a gear just before it (i.e over 6k rpm?)

If so, the bugs are known for throwing up a CEL when doing this - mines done it about 20 times in 15 months i've owned it. Switch the ignition on/off about 5 times in a row and it will clear the CEL - then just keep an eye on it

Obviously i'm not saying ignore it completely - there might be a problem, but it could be nothing. Where/how was the car damaged? Front end? Vandalism? Flood damage?

 

when I first read this thread i wanted to cry as i paid 11k for my bug on a 2001 plate 3 years ago.

since buying it i have fitted a Blitz NUR Spec R plus a second decat,
Lowered it 30MM on Eibachs
Fitted 18 inch Innovite graphite grey alloys,
Fitted Brembo brakes all round with braided hosing

I am always tempted to sell as I am holding out for a blobeye spec c. But if I wait about another 2 years I will try and get an R AR

I am happy taking my time though as I 'm on my first Impreza and want to learn before making any further moves.

 

Lovely! I want those wheels!....

 

Good find! Always bargain to be had somewhere

 

Eh? it's a cat d write off it ain't a bargain! Priced correctly yes.

 

I only paid £4800 for my white bugeye 3 months ago

Well, I actually paid £6500 but it cost me £4800

Swapped my classic for a 02reg clio 172, and £2000 of my money....The guy eventually took £1000 because he was skint and needed the money quickly

I originally Paid £1800 for classic, so thats £2800 I had spent altogether

Then put the clio for sale for £4500 on piston heads with a "Maybe p/x" tag on it, original owner of my white bugeye contacted me saying he wanted £7500 for the bugeye, i said Id give him the Clio and £2k (so thats £6500 offer for the bugeye)

and deal went through, i get my bugeye for £4800 altogether....

48,000 genuine miles, full service history. Only thing needing to be done is a service and cambelt change, top dogs!

originally before buying the classic, I was looking out for a nice hawkeye or a WR1 ideally, but seen the classis and thought id buy that and save some money and spend some of what i saved on some new ice hockey and dj gear (Both quite expensive) and save rest for Uni or a deposit

 

cat d as im sure your aware is the lowest and often means a bit of panel damage as was the case here.

and given that its got £4k of scooby clinic receipts, £1200 set of wheels, brand new cat back exhaust system, remap, bigger turbo yardy yardy yah id say like many other is was a good find

 

ah that might be what done it. the turbo doesn't really kick in until 5,000revs as its a bigger turbo and come to think of it yes i did chnage up around the rev limiter

do you mean actually start the engine 5 times or just switch the key into the first position - if you knmow what i mean?

 

switch til you get the electrics and lights i think he means, not the engine bud

 

my lights on, so if i done that do ya reckon it would go too? My cambelt does need doing and an oil change tbh so it may be that

 

Well my old one was a cat D and the front end was completely fooked. Needed a bit more than a bit of panel beating that's for sure. That's why I wouldn't ever buy a cat D car, UNLESS it was very cheap!

 

theres a nice 54 plate blob blue wrx for £3850 on the autotrader site

 

Prolly fooked to
