I cant believe its come to this but the time has come to sell the best car I have ever owned. me and the Missus have a chance to climb the property ladder so the car needs to go (to a good home hopefully).

Brief car history-

I have known and seen this car nearly everyday since it was bought new as I used to drive past the previous owners house on the way to work. The previous owner bought the car new from the local Subaru garage and purchased the number plate before the car!!! I made my dream purchase of the vehicle on 09/07/2005 with a mere 26k!!! on the clock due to it being a weekend use car, I am the second owner.I have Religiously warmed up and cooled the car down before and after EVERY journey and has allways been run on Optimax / Vpower even though most of the time the shell garage is 4 miles in the opposite direction to my intended journey.

The milage currently 49573-

PRICE - Offers around £9000

 

nice car
you deserve to sell it after all the work you put into typing that post

Best of luck with the sale

 

I'd have it if it was blue!

VERY nice example, you won't have much trouble selling that! Good luck!

 

blue RB5

 

she`s a lovely example but cant bring myself to shell out that much for an 8 year old car
good luck with the sale though

 

Which means That i get to keep it that little bit longer

 

That is a very very nice car! The RB5 is my fave 4 door scooby!!

If I had the money.....................well I dont so good luck with the sale.

 

RB5/ Steel Blue is the best colour subaru have ever produced!

 

Hi there,
Is it the WR sport edition??
How much are you looking for it and where abouts are you based??
Thanks

 

It's not a WR sport.

 

But it is a very nice RB5 and worth the asking price





BTTT for you sir

 

px or swap ??

 

Sorry but no px or swap i've allready got a 99 polo to use instead

 

no problem ,have a good quick sale

 

Free BTTT for Sunday with a few pics of interior and engine bay-

 

Bump for a stunning motor.
Steering wheel looks abit worn though??

 

Yeah the top part of the steering wheel has seen better days should have really driven with my hands in the 10 to 2 position. I have wondered if its possible to rub a kinda leather cleaner or similar into it to 'feed' it???? sure its possible somehow but i dont really like to put chemicals onto the interior just a wipe with a polishing cloth.

 

Leather cleaner, renovator and protector should do the trick and it will make one hell of a difference.

This is mine that had covered 54K

 

Nice car good hope you sell it..

 

Aftermarket rear spoiler...?

MB

 

Price now dropped to offers around £9000

 

they got a very good write up in this months evo mag!
Good luck with the sale

 

Now on Pistonheads and autotrader and will be in the North West autotrader magazine this thursday for £9000 ono. This is my last Reduction exclusively for Scoobynet at £8500

 

i have stuck this on our for sale section on the RB5 club

 

Cheers, Have considered it but i'm not a forum member and wasnt sure if I needed to Join to advertise and didnt fancy the £25 joining fee especially after realising how much autotrader were charging to advertise these days.

 

sold mine on pistonheads straight away. They seem to be dropping like flies on there at the moment. I think half the rb5s advertised have sold...

 

No its free to register and free to advertise your RB5


Surprised this hasnt gone yet

 

I've Had Some Interest from people who would have to travel a long way to view the car asking for pictures of the bad points of the car to be emailed to them. I've decided that it would be easier to post them here for all to see.

Firstly as mentioned in my initial ad the 3 car park dents. After looking very closely around the car I can only find 2 and even they are hard to photograph but i've done the best i can with the camera i've got and the fact that its a horrible, cold , grey day-


Driver side, very hard to see (tiny) but second pic shows it best-





Passenger side again the same as above-





Alloys with the kerb marks-






Stonechips - Very hard photo to take but there isnt many there-





Another question asked is 'Is the number plate included' and the answer is yes.

Interior- the seats are all mint and the rear seats have only been sat in by the previous owners daughter and when I viewed the car the rear seats were covered in blankets so no damage or wear on the seats or door cards.

The only bad points in the Interior are the steering wheel as seen in previous pictures and easily leather cleaned ,conditioned. and the door cards-


Ring marks on the door handle (previous owner)
Slight dent in arm rest


couple of ring marks again on door handle
and any other marks can be seen


And the worst bad point-





Thats as honest as i can be with the bad points and I dont really think that they are that bad. Well worth the £8500

 

hi mate nice car,youl be fedup hearing that eh,where about in the country are you,im in scotland and willing to travel for the right car,was looking for newer scoob but yours is apealing.

 

Cheers, I agree with you it is a nice car .I'm In North Wales (Bangor), had a bit of interest from people a fair distance away but no one's been round to see it yet???
