I'm sure we've all sat and watched an episode or two of Wheeler Dealers before, right? You can probably remember the furore surrounding the Impreza WRX they featured a few years back

Ever wondered what happened to the Japanese cars after the show had aired? Check it out:

The original owner bought it back for £4500 more than he sold it for . . . . .great move.

He didn't come across as the brightest on the show, buying it back confirmed it.

I'm not surprised one bit unfortunately.

The original owner (if that actually was him and not a member of the production team) allegedly sold it for £5,000 then bought it back for £9,500 in a far more hideous state than he sold it in .... Comical

Interesting that the remap on the scoob caused issues and that other cars had problems when sold on.

Good to see Demi's like some other garages.

Interesting thread mate. Personally I think the RX7 looked superb as it was

Anyone else notice when they took the old ecu out of the RX7 it had MINES on it?

The premis of the show was to give cars a second chance before they were likely to be discarded. Most of the cars lasted a few years more. Unfortunately most owners can't or don't understand how to do basic maintenance, so if the bills start to rack up they sell on as they are generally at the cheaper end.

I really like when they restore the very old classics and do a full respray. The little Fiat 500 and the American cars spring to mind.

The RX7 has to be on of the worst outcomes in Wheeler Dealer history, I thought that sort of Modding when out of fashion 10 years ago.

The Blue standard one at the start of the show looked fantastic.
