It may not have a tracking device fitted. Cant tell from the picture but it looks modified. Looks like an early impreza maybe a 94/95/96 just by the front end. If it says WRX or STI in the advert is a grey import ie. not a UK spec car. It also looks like it has modifications, those wheels arent standard and that wing looks after market. Soory to be vague but cant tell a lot from the picture. Any more details to go on description ??.

That will be a WRX or possibly an STi 1 from the rear spoiler, but it is hard to tell.

Early cars didnt have the big spoilers so thats an aftermarket one. Could be an STi4 mid level but looks bigger and the side bits look thinner.

At 23 with an import modified car you are looking at 1500 - 2000 minimum could be a lot more full comp depending on ncb, postcode, kept overnight etc.

worth reading this to get any idea on what other people are paying :

Could be an STi 1 spoiler though . Worth checking whether the car is an STi or WRX as it will affect insurance and checking whether thats a factory fit spoiler as that will affect insurnace as well.

NUL - normal unleaded fuel ie 95 RON
SUL - super unleaed fule ie 97 RON (rumours of BP beign 98 RON)
Optimax - shells SUL fuel 98.6 RON

I would not run an impreza turbo on anything less than SUL, my import lives on optimax and octane booster.

Greg seriously worth reading this document if you are after a scoob :

Tracker info here

Becareful which tracker package you go for as some arent insurnace approved.

cheers

Cool

Actually if its a 1993 it cant be an STI1

Unless its a late 1993 and actually an MY94

This is well complicated .
