Potential RB5 bargain
 

Has anyone else seen this?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162283306244

The ad looks genuine. I wondered if it was anyone on here?

Cat D write off which will, unfortunately, significantly reduce is value & appeal.

And it doesnt start.

Did the rb5 not come with a prodrive rear spoiler

Only as part of the optional 'WR Sport' package. Otherwise it was the regular mid level type as std.

But I wouldn't go by that car in the ad as a classic example of the breed - because it's been modified by the owner. Ergo, a STI 5 rear wing (which you were questioning); regular MY99/00 foglight covers (as opposed to the circular ones with "RB5" in red); and P1 splitter.

I looked at the ad and left.

Yeah, and that. :lol1:

I saw location Birmingham and did the same thing!!!;)

Same here.
Looks all wrong, spoiler is wrong, and it has fogs - not driving lights. Bit of a dog, stay well clear.

Ha, just re-read the advert.
"It was running a dream before so can only be something simple" well, fix it then.

I wouldn't pay nearly £2.5k for a car that won't move.

But, nice to know someone is going to, it means my nice clean example, that does run, and has all the correct bits will be actually worth the agreed value I've insured it for.

There appears to be a lot of sh1t cars coming from the Birmingham area, and I'm not just talking about Subaru.

According to the RB5 site 268 was written off and there is also pictures of the damaged car which looks BAD so is the one on ebay 268 ?.

this one on ebay does say its number 268.

Now ended.

:eek: That car had a serious impact, it must have re-shelled because that shell looks way too far gone! :eek:

The paint on the one in the eBay advert doesn't look good, I'd steer well clear.

Some poor b@stard has bought that :eek:
