I am selling my 1999 Subaru Impreza with 106,000 miles. The Colour is Silver. This vehicle has never been smoked in. I have only owned the car since the start of the week but unfortunately when I took it to the rolling road garage today i was informed that the big end had gone.

How do you put pictures up/??

 

Upload your pics to some webspace, then copy n paste the links into here but put [img] at the beginning and [/img] at the end with no spaces.

any offers anyone??? Sweet car with a bit of TLC!!!

 

No one fancy a project then?? Only needs a new engine then you would have a stunning car at bargain price!!

 

Please dont take this the wrong way mate, even 3200 is a bit expensive.

A rebuild will cost 1500 quid at the very least taking it up to 4700 quid and i've no doubt its a nice car (it is) but it still has 106k on the clock.

I sold my mint classic 6 months ago for 4 grand with full sh and 78k on the clock.

for what its worth my big ends let go and put in a sti block, in the 18 months i had it along with that and other maintanance it stood me at 13 grand, hows about that for losing money

 

Having re-read your post, best bet (if it were me) is to sell roll cage, plate + other mods on fleabay, go towards engine repair and sell it as a standard (ish) Impreza Turbo 2000

 

Are you sure that the big end has gone? It might be worth getting a second opinion and/or searching the forum if you haven't to identify the signs of big end failure.
You don't want to ditch your car prematurely.

surely a big end can be sorted by just changing the shell and maybe the rods if necessary

And crank, gasket set etc etc!
