Back in the Subaru fold.
 
:D:D:D:D


Only taken 3 years and 3 months :cry::cry:

Got a payout from my insurance (finally) after some penis crashed into my little Peugeot in Feb writing it off.

Scoured eBay and Pistonheads for ages and my cheque cleared just at the right time to buy a lovely 99 S-plate Scoobaru estate in Champagne Silver :norty::norty:

Has the updated dash, grille, bumper etc as well as 4 pots up front so happy all round with it. Previous owner owns his own bodyshop so had the rear bumper and tailgate professionally resprayed too. Only a tiny hint of arch bubble which I'm not concerned with.

Oh and less that 100k on her too :luxhello:

Anyone car to guess what I paid for this beaut??












God it's good to be back in a Scoob :luxhello:

£1500..welcome back

Jamo 05 September 2011 08:40 PM

chuffed for you mate £1250? :)

Maz 05 September 2011 08:40 PM

Nice one Andy. Knowing your canniness I would think you got a bargain.:thumb:

chocolate_o_brian 05 September 2011 08:43 PM

Thanks guys, between Jamo and Powerwrx - £1395, or £1500 with 6 months tax.

Genuinely chuffed as she drives beautifully, no clutch issues, engine solid, gearbox tight and a full standard exhaust on her too!! A rare thing :eek:

Knowing Andy's tightness, it was probably and bag of maltesers and they reimbursed his bus fare.

Damn fat fingers!

DON'T CRASH THIS ONE!!!!

Wellcome back to Subaru

Those three years have went so quick

Nice looking example my classic wagon is 11 years old now and still going well

All classics have a bit of bubbling on the rear arches ,even mine who lives in it's luxury garage

A good example like that will last for years

See you at NBO 10

LOL - couldn't resist you argumentative sod :p

Sold the Merc a couple weeks back, well swapped it for a 406 Pug which I planned to keep for a while. But my cheque arrived quick and cleared swiftly... the rest is history. :lol1:

Jamo 05 September 2011 10:18 PM

Looks nice Andy, have you picked it up yet? (I noticed his feedback ;) )

Yeah, he was a really genuine guy. He explained the issue with the neg feedback as I was wary and it is a '6 of one half a dozen of t'other' type story in fairness. But he was really good with me, met him at his house yesterday whilst taking my little boy for his first Cleethorpes outing. No issue with leaving a deposit for tax and collecting today either. Even took me round his bodyshop for a nosey.

Worst thing... wheels need refurbing and the tyres aren't fantastic :)

Prolly needs an oil change too and the cambelt checking. No big issues there :thumb:

Bargain twice then it seems :D

Notice his listings weren't Subaru parts so hopefully a nice standard one for me. May get an exhaust later ;)
