RB5 #382 is up for sale.

The RB5 spec differs from the standard MY99 with the addition of Prodrive 17" wheels, Steel blue bodywork, Blue alcantara seats, quickshift, numbered plaque, graphite centre console.

Car is standard RB5 spec except for a larger exhaust (back box and de-cat centre section - I am unsure of the make as it was on the car when I bought it).
It also has the Brembo 320mm front brake upgrade with braided hoses all round and DOT5 brake fluid.

The car has covered 34500 miles and has roughly 17months left on an extended Subaru proven used warranty. (I need to check whether this is transferable).

New Toyo's 215/45/zr17's x 4 fitted 24/1/04 and covered only 1500 miles.

Car has just been serviced 18/3/04.

Car is taxed until end Oct 2004 and MOT'd until 11 Nov 2004.



If I've done it right here is one of the few pics I have, if not more pics can be found at www.famine-online.co.uk/robertscar.html

As above I'm looking for £12k or thereabouts.
Don't miss your chance to own a low mileage example of a classic Impreza.

Ray

Sorry Ray_li, I couldn't find the original thread to reply to you.

I have posted the price I'm looking for. I am willing to consider serious offers. If this one isn't for you, good luck with your RB5 hunting.

Blobster

 

Thanks mate but the RB5 is out of my price range (10k)

Ray

Blobster

 

I tell you what.

Car is free to a good home..

Blobster

 

Give you 10k and a lolly pop

JUMP

 

Has it got Full (subaru) service history?

 

Affirm.
I mean yes, and just serviced £478 on the 18/3/04.
And balance of 'proven used warranty'.

Blobster

 

Bttt.
Come on peeps, don't make me p/ex it. You know the dealer will have it on the forecourt circa £14k. Save at least 2k, come to me.

Blobster

 

if you trade it i'll pay you 10k cash. well a bankers thingy

 

and dont forget the lolly pop

 

How could I forget the lollipop?

I've been offered £10k trade straight off, so I'm looking for that little extra private.
No harm in trying though Ray_li.

Blobster

 

why give it to the dealer and let them get richer when someone like me needs the car to buy food for my 16 babies

I can push it up another £100 or I can just keep this going up the top for you until you give in
Or i'll give you £11000 but you through in a years insurance.

 

just b4 I go to sleep.
£10100 and this

This is how I got my first sh@g I kept on asking and asking about the price

 

10/10 for perserverance ray_li

Blobster, who are u getting the WR1 from, Wilsons?

 

Ray Li, give the man £12k and be done with it!

Good luck finding an RB with the above for £10k!

 

the lowest i have seen on autotrader is 10,995 yesterday

 

I did try Wilsons but they had sold their allocation almost as soon as the car was announced and (allegedly) have at least 10 names down on a waiting list as well!

Turned to my home town of Sheffield instead, killing two birds with one stone.
First, I get a WR1
And second, the drive back will eat up some of the running in miles

Thanks for the heads up on the autotrader prices, Mark. I will, of course, point any future owner towards the RB5oc.

Blobster

 

Going up.
Bttt.

 

Its me again

Looks like im gonna have to settle for a MY00 in blue with air con.

Lets hope I find £2000 on the way to work tomorrow.
I know this RB5 is going cheap up I budget is 10k and I cant afford to over spend.

Ray

 

No worries, Ray_li.
Enjoy whatever Scoob you get. If it's your first you'll be grinning like the now legendary Cheshire cat for months to come.

Blobster

 

Buy this car mate, get the extra cash you need, you will not be disappointed. The RB5 comes with much more than a standard MY99 car, it will save you money on mods (if you plan to do any to your normal MY99). These cars are great. Phil (RB5 083)

 

Thanks for the kind words, PhilA.

Blobster

 

I would but the extra 2k is my insurance

 

It breaks my heart that nobody wants this car.
Come on folks, Spring is in the air.

Blobster

 

I'm still stuck here in Brighton. My new job starts next month though hurruh. I had promised myself a Scooby, and RB5 is my fav.

Did you check on the warrenty? Where are you based.

Just curious, no more..

Mark.

 

Mark, yep I checked on the warranty and it's a small admin fee (£20) payable to Subaru to tfr the warranty into the new owners name. Expiry date 18/11/05.
In addition I am just in the process of having the clutch replaced under the warranty to cure the now legendary clutch judder.

I am based in Essex, near to Stansted airport.

Blobster

 

hi blobster

are you the second registered owner of the car.

 

Thanks Blobster. Yeah, how many owners? Could you put the service dates up?

Ta,

Mark.
