A couple of bulbs is hardly the end of the world.

Tidgy

if you cant be bothered with a couple of bulbs what else cant you be bothered with? If it was a single bulb fair enough, but given its a whole list of issues it would make me more worried

ruislip

Hmmmmmm, agree bulbs not an issue but you got me worried now lol

Front dips play up a lot on blobs, normally a little tap on the light and they turn back on

Indicators wrong colour must have been a owner thing

Tidgy

i suspect clear lenses and silvertech bulbs, so looked wrong till they lit up

ruislip

Well apart from bulbs the owner will take, £8.6k.

However he has only had it 2 months which is a concern...

Tidgy

walk away. getting rid after 2 months and dropping it a grand would make me walk for sure.

I'd ask the reason for selling so quickly. If it doesn't sound plausible then walk away. Car looks good in the advert, however.

id go look at it if its within distance 1 failed MOT in all those years, and nothing really major imo

guy could have lost his job, have a family and mortage, selling the scooby would be a sensible option

Also not everyone gets on with them.
same for lots of cars,people see them,want them as they look the part,buy them then realise they just don't like it.
I found with my previous imprezas that just pootling around they felt pretty agricultural and only came alive when boosted which isn't for everyone especially the sti.

personally, i find the photoshopped pics infuriating and dishonest..Before i bought mine I saw perhaps 12 adverts with heavily photoshopped (falsified) pics..the cars i viewed looked unrecognisable in the flesh..colour saturation made the paint look brighter, soft contrast hid every blemish..Photoshopping alone is enough to annoy me...I even asked for honest warts and all pics from sellers but the failed to respond..That's because their cars were probably nails.
