Please note the car does not have the front splitter anymore as it was cracked (suggest getting the carbon fibre piece).

Also the front badge has been replaced for a subaru stars pink number.

As the previous owners are already here, I think I am in exactly the right place to ask don't you? and with no need to drive hundreds of miles either (yet). I didn't make a comment other than the rapid ownership changes which I find somewhat alarming, and gave me the impression that owning it is not all it's cracked up to be. Having been bitten rushing into purchases before I am ever sceptical. Thanks for your reply, I find your answer acceptable

Hi mate, I was the first owner, and the reason I sold the car to Dream was because I bought his Evo VII, This car was my pride and joy, and I modded it up from a standard car to how it looks now, I would'nt have sold it but Evo ownership was to tempting and a car that I always wanted to own, but now ive been there I can really say that I did prefer this Scooby, everything about this car was set-up for reliability, and not just outright performance, dont get me wrong a different turbo could have got more power, but 300bhp, a set of AP 6-pots and a perfect suspension set-up and some subtle styling mods makes this car a perfect car to drive, and was a pleasure to own, Just wish it was still sitting on my drive!!!!!

If you have any questions you want to ask me, you can send me a e-mail or Pm.

Thanks
John

Seems not!
I thought it was a WRX STi Type UK with the PPP.
Even the sellers profile seems to indicate that it is

I was expecting ~305bhp as standard hence was concerned with the power figures of only 312.

As a 'noob' I feel that this is somewhat mis-represented and tantamount to sticking a GTR badge and spoiler on a GTS Skyline. Why?

Thanks to 'anon' for pointing me in the right direction.
Nice car, but not what I was looking for
*wanders off looking for the real thing.

You might want to start reading up on your cars/ models then mate before searching for the real thing to avoid any further disappointment. The advert could not be any clearer? Where does it say STI? WRX PPP is not an STI PPP. The additions to the exterior alone indicates this is a WRX...............

I think you're a little misguided blaming the seller for what amounts to shortsightedness on your part.

So like I said nowhere in the advert then?

Apologies XLine my first post wasn't meant to sound so aggressive. I don't think there was any intention on the part of the seller to suggest or allude that this was an STI with the exception of the power being on par with one.

Good luck with your search.

The car is a WRX as the advert states with sti parts.

Its also a UK car period.

If it was an sti i would have stated that in the title and would not have listed sti parts (intercooler, bonnet scoop etc) as the sti would have these as standard .

Don't mind people asking questions but just wish people would do us all a favour and read the ******* thread/add before they start assuming...by the way an sti is 6speed, different interior and side skirts too...now have we learnt something today children

peace

I love this car, and I looked into buying it two owners ago, but to be fair it does get misrepresented.

I think Scoobyboy1's advert (the genius behind this car) is a better place to start.

2004 Subaru Impreza WRX (Euro) in Black with gold fleck (standard Subaru paint), also has STi style bucket seats in black.

1st registered in March 2004

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...-wrx-swap.html

It appears to have lost its PPP status in your advert

It is a cracking WRX and whoever buys it is one lucky Sod!

Also if you check the RAC vehicle check it is stating more owners than you quote. I only mention this as this is the first check I do when buying a car.
