That's one of my old cars
I imported this around 2 years ago with only around 27k miles, it had a great service history and was a really straight car. The interior was absolutely perfect and it was a pretty faultless car!
My company plates are still fitted otherwise i wouldn't have recognised the car, you've spent a fair few quid on it matey. Best of luck with the sale!!

Looks like a nice model but the colour is just too much, any history from japan confirming the low miles?

Could offer you the below but wont be able to book yours in for £5500 as the version 4/5 are available for that much.

Let me know,

Thanks and goodluck

Nah mate! Think you may be mistaken! Everyone that sees the car in person says they have never seen a colour like this in their lives! I think you may be mistaken with that horrible sicky colour greeny yellow that Corsa come in or the boy racer flip paint that they spray their saxos! The original yellow that the scooby Type r's come in are disgusting! Looks like a faded yellow! This is a one off candy yellow on a one off Impreza type R! Thanx for your comment anyway!

So if someone is over 40 then their opinion counts for nothing? Personally I agree that the cashmere yellow that Subaru painted these in originally isn't the best, but its different & doesn't look like a tarts nail varnish. You like the car, then that's cool, more power to you, some of us aren't that keen on the colour & I suspect you have reduced the number of potential buyers by painting it that colour. Its going to appeal to some young lad that needs attention from 14 year old school girls, IMHO.

Again, GLWTS

I didnt say that the older generations opinion didnt count but the people who have given me bad comments are actually older! I aint a boy racer & I aint a youngster myself! Most the people who like it are my age or slightly older! I wanted to keep it yellow but not the original yellow! ther aint many nice yellows out there so I chose this one! I do admit it is a bit in your face but atleast it aint common! Most the people who it appeals to are in the late 20's, earky 30's. Thanx Again for ya comments!

I Kinda like the color I'd have to judge it in person of course, what I don't like is the wheels,the 4 scoops on the front of the car, & the tail lights.

I Still have the original Type R front & Rear Lights. I agree about the wheels as they do let the car down. Could do with being refurbed, re-dipped or replaced. I kinda like the vents tho! Thanx for ya comment!

I dont think the colour is as in your face as the pictures make out and this may be due to the dull day/background in the pictures, i find taking pictures on a nice sunny day (in the shade/under the tree) always come out quite well
