I've been looking at a RB5 advertised at my local Subaru dealership.
Its advertised at £12,995 with 55,000 miles Full Subaru SH oh and its a WR version!!!!!
Currently got some horrid gold multispoke alloys on but will come with original graphite speedlines.

Does this price sound about right??

From a dealer, yes, that sounds right.

More to the point, are you happy to pay the asking price?

Dealers always add a bit for haggling and to cover trade ins - never pay the screen price for anything

If he puts a set of graphite wheels on yes, but i'll be haggling no worries about that.

Put a deposit on it so i'll be picking it up next week



Had a test drive OMG put me foot down and went like a rocket, and i got a wave from a impreza going the other way.

Sorry for babbling but it will be my first turbo'd car and my face is already aching from smiling so much!
Oh and a bonus its got a nice private plate as well T111 RBS!!
