RB 320
 
Hi all i am considering part ex my sti for a RB320, can anyone please tell me what to look out for on these cars, and does anyone here have one and what are they like?

Thanks

Don't have one (I've got the 'better' limited edition - WR1:lol1:).
But have you seen the RB320 site ??

The RB320 Owners Club :: Rally Hero Special Edition :: The Owners Club especially for the Subaru Impreza RB320 :: Richard Burns RIP

Spoken to one owner who loves it, but he has spent a lot modifying it.

Guess issues will be same as others, rear shocks ??

Haha, think that was said tongue-in-cheek :)

They are all monstrous cars no matter what Scooby you got!

had my rb320 (3rd impreza) a month now and love it.
if you get one make sure it has the leather/alcantara interior, looks so much better.

Yes mate I said it tounge in cheek :D:D

RB320's are awesome cars, I actually think they look meaner than the WR1, - obviously more expensive though as their newer.
They seem to vary widely in price, seen one on e-bay starting at 18K and nobody bid :eek:

But here's a thought, does a lower 0-60 time make it 'better' in any way :lol:

thanks for all you advice, i couldn't belive how wide the prices were on these, going to have to go and have a look at some!

As with all special editions, make sure it is more or less standard. Of course as many optional extras from the manufacturer as possible always help. Special editions hold their value because they are collectors cars, so they fair better by being a low mileage standard car.

If you plan to modify, I would stick with your STI as there is not much difference performance wise between an STI and any UK limited edition.

You'll get a lot more subaru for your money if you buy something other than a "special" edition.....

I'm sure you will have fun looking too.:thumb::thumb:

Right place right time and you can bag yourself a bargain at the moment.

:D

Think prices are showing some signs of recovering slightly though.

johnpye 14 May 2009 08:05 AM

yeah i am after a standard car with the hope of keeping for a long miles, i love my sti and have kept that standard but would like something a bit different!

Timwinner 14 May 2009 11:55 AM

Top cars, Nothing really major to look out for that differs from any used car. Have a go in a GB270 if you can, Much overlooked car.

greg320 14 May 2009 12:14 PM

most issues would have been sorted on warranty by now,and if you did have a problem its covered,i have one and must admit its an awesome car,handling seems a lot better with the bilstein set up to my previous 04 STi
