Would not worry me thats for sure
63k is good milage for a car that is 11 year old car, get a full list of the mods off them go up and have a look at it, take it for a drive and go from there

Thanks for your help, decision has been made and deposit has been put down so they can start the process of registration and get it mapped for UK fuel
Car would be ready for collection in about two weeks
Can't wait

Is that not the motorsport version????
is it wind up windows?, the motorsport ones came with crappy wheels, no black seats and steeel brakes as standard. maybe been modded with parts to bring it up to spec.
Looks good though.

As far as I know there are two versions of spec c, crappy one as you said without AC, wrx brakes, without gear stuck surround, no radio and no speakers and the other one with AC, sti brakes if it comes to interior black seats are from MY05.

As said take a good look over it, if possible take someone with Subaru knowledge with you. Looks like it has electric windows as far as I can see? Not sure but think it should have dccd as standard but may be wrong. Think the seats are non standard though. Good luck, hope it is a good one as they are awesome cars. I have a T25 version and it is like a big road legal go cart.

You need the model code & option code or VIN number to identify it correctly. Too many non standard parts to be 100% without

Thanks for your replies guys which makes me worry a bit now, I'll try to get an VIN number, but does someone on here will be able to check if it is scpec c or not? I'll send an email to torque about my concern and we will wait for thier response. Thanks a lot.

VIN number or model code & option code will tell you exactly what the car is

Still don't understand why people offer opinions when they don't know what they're talking about.
Brodziu, it's a Spec C WR limited.
04 model year widetrack.
DCCD.
Brembo's.
electric windows and mirrors.
Blue STI interior with unique stitching on seats and floor mats.
WR Limited badging (rectangular one below STI on rear).
The front splitter and rear wing risers are not original and there is an aftermarket exhaust, front strut brace, induction kit, earthing kit, rad panel and all the usual interior electronic crap found on most imports.
Once you've taken all that lot off looks like you'll have a nice car

The parts are interchangeable with any Impreza, it's a bit like the eBay tat all over your sh*t heap.
It's unlikely to see you in a Tesco carpark with your trolley and bucket for a wash, so cleanliness is not an issue.

Thanks a lot guys, I'm glad you confirmed it's a genuine spec c I've read many positive reviews about torque so I was a bit confused after reading few first posts, but everything is clear now
I don't know anyone who has knowledge about subaru to take with me to check the car at torque, besides 8 hours drive round trip it's not the best way for someone to spend his free time
I've asked torque to start sorting out registration, MOT, remapping for UK fuel and I've been told I'll get cambelt replaced, waiting time would be approx 2 weeks.
Fingers crossed it will be quicker
