scooby 2001 wrx uk
 

ok people ive been looking to upgrade from my 2000 turbo impreza to a wrx bugeye ive found one i like and will be viewijng at weekend ,....... the car is a 51 plate wrx uk car it says what is the difference between that and a import of same model also if its uk is insurance lower??????? id love to hear as much as i can about this model the ins and outs etc before i go and view...........is it a good car ?
is the import better etc ???? what power are they?? etc thanks for reading i look foward to hear your knowledge

also did they do one of these in a uk 300 model as car has a uk 300 sticker on it????

My bug is a UK300, search google for them as there a few differences over a std wrx bug.
it should have hella quad headlights, 18" gold oz wheels, different spoiler, black lip on the front bumper and sti seats but without the sti logo and there should be a plaque with the build number either by the ash tray or on the little sun visor thing above the rear view mirror.

if its got the PPP kit on it it will ahve a different back box and blue silicon hoses for the IC and 240bhp 260lbft but there should be a certificate for it if it has the PPP

how much is it up for, and any pics?

also the intercooler should have a uk300 sticker.

oh uk cars are generally a bit cheaper to insure.

No its not a uk300.

How much is it up for ??

yeah i thought it wasnt ! its up for £2350 with new head gasket done and 90k miles m.o.t till xmas what do u think???? i have a minted uk 2000 turbo right now 178k on clock and have buyer for £1300 so effetivley my car and 1k would get me this ??

it has aftermerket wheels ,stainless and filter as does mine? slight scuff on bumper on bug and my arches on my 2000 turbo have started to go but it just went straight threw mot without even an advisory and my current car im 3rd owner 6 owners on bug??

If you can get £1300 for yours then you've done bloody well chap. And maybe with a bit of haggling you could get the bug for 2K which is about what its worth.

If I was you id sell my current classic for the £1300 and then add a grand and buy a better classic.

what do u suggest matty i think classic is the best subaru but so dated interior i like rb5s but out of my price range and only really like facelift models with the more modern interior momo steering wheel etc and dont want to be swapping parts left right and centre froma facelift to a old classic!!

Deffo not a uk 300 but none the less doesnt look too bad.

Imo go look at it, if you like it, buy it.
