Hi CHaps

Iv owned a civic type R for 6 years but iv been offered the chance of an Impreza MY2000 Type RA.

Iv been trying to do some research on what the car exatly is and how much its worth but im struggling.

Can anyone give me some info about them?

This car is a minter and only done 59k miles with a few mods done

Thanks in advance!

Wrx or sti? Makes a big difference.

 

it says wrx on title

 

Its just a WRX

 

Not a WRX RA?

 

If it is mechanically sound and does not have many cosmetic imperfections i.e. rust then I would say it would be worth around 4-4.5k max depending on pics aswell. You do not find many V6 WRX Type RAs which would be a bonus and therefore allow you to command more whenever you come to sell it.

Also what colour is it?

Yeah it's a WRX RA. It says on the dash there was only 1000 made.

It's in the normal blue, not dark blue. Condition wise is fantastic. For a 2000 it's one of the cleanest cars if seen. The only light rust is around the rear arches but I would get that sorted.

 

That little bit of rust isn't as easy to fix as you might think lol. All classics have it to some extent unless it being sorted early on.

 

It might be a lot worse underneath that little bit of surface rust as the arches usually rot from the inside out. Just make sure a good job is done repairing it otherwise it will only come back later. I would make the owner aware of my concern if I was in your position in order to reduce the asking price down a tad more.

Yeah that's the car Matty. I've gone ahead with the purchase. I'm well chuffed with it. First job is to the body shop to check the arches then a service. Il get some pics up when i get chance.

 

did you have to push the clutch pedal down before it started?

 

No Gambit. You dont have to press the clutch down to start it. why mate?

 

Maybe that was just sti then as it was a feature that appeared on my00 cars

 

im wrong Gambit. You do have to press the clutch in to start the car. I tried it last night.

Also is my model classed as a GC8?

 

Yes, GC8.

More importantly, where's the pictures ???

 

Lol

 

il give it a good clean tomorrow and get some photos up

 

Pictures !!!!!!!!

 

Still waiting
