This is it, then ..
 
Cast your expert eyes over this ... is it a bit wordy or about right?

Joking! - but, I didn't want to write its life history ... just the bare facts and let the buyer decide ... ?

Not sure when it will get approved for placement, the link may or may not work yet? You get a pre-view! :D

I'd be very suspect about the advert having no proper name or a phone number attached to it.

Price is very reasonable so it doesn't look like a scam, but the lack of phone number and name would put me personally off, sorry :(

g7prs 12 June 2010 02:57 PM

Short but sweet, should have added one infamous owner :lol1:

So pete is this anything like your new toy? http://www.factoryoutletscooters.co.uk/mercury-neo6.php

g7prs 12 June 2010 02:59 PM

Choco do you think he wants the folk on here getting a hold of his phone number :)

jameswrx 12 June 2010 03:05 PM

Keep it, you'll regret it one day! It's not exactly much money and you'd struggle to replace it.

dunx 12 June 2010 03:43 PM

Non-smoker ?

pslewis 12 June 2010 03:54 PM

:lol1:

Thanks for your comments ....

Yep, non smoker.

I do think I may regret selling it ... I'll keep it if it doesn't sell (obviously, but what I mean is that there is no pressure on me to sell).

It's shocking how cheap these are isn't it? I mean, we are talking pocket money.

dunx 12 June 2010 03:58 PM

DCCD six speed gearbox...
Syvecs and the trimmings...
A set of cool Jap. alloys and sticky tyres...

All due respect, it's not really my problem that he's rubbed a "few" (term used loosely) people up the wrong way on here or other boards.

As said I wouldn't enquire about a car that didn't have at least a first name initial and full surname/phone number available on the advert.

Just the same as some wouldn't be interested in either a short but sweet advert with very little detail given or one written in text speak. I'd skip right past it :)

pslewis 12 June 2010 04:41 PM

The short but sweet advert doesn't do it for you then? ;)

To be honest, I like the e-mail way to do business ... I don't like the mobile phone route - a landline would be different and give some confidence.

pslewis 12 June 2010 04:57 PM

Am I asking too little?

Or is this fella asking too much? :eek:

No Pete, that is overpriced crap basically :thumb:

£3.5k overprice IMHO. I wouldn't even entertain a phonecall with him for one reason - Lexus lights. One type of person likes Lexus lights on a Scoobaru and that type of person will generally have a weaker engine :lol1:

Saying that, I cant even afford a Scoobaru at the moment...

I did think it a bit heavy on the price, not mine - his ....

But, the Subaru Dealer did say that the market is very strong for the best last Classic Impreza's ...... I suppose it would be at such small prices - what else comes close?

Nothing. Thats why after 2 years I still pine after my old red classic everyday :(

Jamo 12 June 2010 06:57 PM

good price imho, looks lovely pete, bet your gutted to be selling her.

pslewis 12 June 2010 06:58 PM

SOLD :eek: :cry:

Marx Mcrae 12 June 2010 08:17 PM

Already?????

Someone got a great deal on a well loved car!

pslewis 12 June 2010 08:27 PM

Yep, first person to view ........ I guess they don't come along like this too often?

Great people too .... knew what they wanted, had plenty of Impreza's in the past - got another great one now.

Marx Mcrae 12 June 2010 08:54 PM

Sounds like its gone to a good home then

pslewis 12 June 2010 09:37 PM

Yeah, I think it has - it will be loved as I have - I am still heartbroken ...... what makes grown men sad to see an Impreza leave? :(

Nothing will be the same as 10 years with one of the best cars ever made .... the new HatchBack just doesn't ring the same bells as the old Classic.

I was so lucky to have grabbed one of the last great Impreza's ... Subaru couldn't offer me anything like the Classic experience .... so I, and many others, have moved on to pasture's new.

Subaru, you need to look to what your buyers want ... they want quirky, they want fast, they want value ..... to try to appeal to the massses isn't going to work, as the HatchBack is, frankly, sadly, utter pants!! And that is from someone who loves Subaru!!!!

Hello, Honda ....

Cannon Fodder 12 June 2010 09:45 PM

Glad to see that you sold your car quickly Pete and that you did not have put up with test pilots, dreamers and tyre kickers.

I am happy to see that it has been bought by an enthusiast who will take good care of her, I think that you sold her for a good price as well.

Sad day as it is the end of an era. :(

pslewis 12 June 2010 10:28 PM

The end of an era -yes.

Time moves on ... Subaru, haven't .... :(

I so wanted to buy a new Impreza ... but they are just not in the running anymore, no WRC success, no great cars, just cheap tat they think will appeal to the masses - it doesn't!!!!! Good god, Subaru - give us a quirky looking car which is built from the engineering up, not from some Kia lookalike down!!!

Please, Subaru, wake up!!

Dspeed 12 June 2010 11:08 PM

U lied in the add, it is modified, uve got mesh nt wedges.

pslewis 12 June 2010 11:13 PM

I have mesh wedges ... true ... only because some beggar nicked one at the Subaru garage!!!!!!!!

Any advert without a phone number and just email, plainly looks like a scam from the well known continent that is curently holding the World Cup at present.

Lisawrx 13 June 2010 01:12 AM

This doesn't mean you are leaving us, does it? ;)

RA Dunk 13 June 2010 01:20 AM

Even though he is responsible for posting some complete and utter crap from time to time I think I would miss him if he left. :luvlove:
