Hi guys, After having a drive of mine my mate is after a scooby now lol but the car he`s after is a Cat-D R Reg SUBARU IMPREZA UK Turbo with 97k on the clock, couple of mods, APEXI Induction Kit, Stainless Steel Exhaust, STi Front Spliter, STi V6 Rear Boot Spoiler, 18" OZ Superleggera Gold Alloy

The car looks great apart from the front scoop is mashed and bonnet needs a respray the gear stick **** comes off in your hand lol and a chip in the rear spoiler, the boot is also very damp, apart from these faults its a nice looking car the trader is asking for 3,995 so whats a cat-D worth in this state? will he be able to insure it ok? ive told him to walk away and get a striaght one but he likes this one

 

Wouldn't pay more than 2k

 

Walk away.

 

Many more nice examples out there for that price. DON'T buy a car with all those faults.
a) It shows that is hasn't been looked after, so god knows how long the engine/gearbox will last.
b) It will spoil the Impreza experience and put him off for good!

 

As above leave it

 

Thanks guys i will show him this thread later maybe he will take your word for it as hes not listening to me being a new owner myself, forgot to say the mot runs out in feb and no tax i asked the sales guy would he put 12months mot on and he said no

Best car ive had btw, love it already that low rumble is out of this world my mrs can here me come that far up the road that ive got a brew waiting for me by the time am home lol

 

sounds like a total ****box to be honest. if the salesman sold you this he would be laughing all the way to the bank phella. you can buy a pretty much decent undamaged or abused classic on that plate for 4k, never mind a a leaking damaged one. the salesman obviously had his head so far up his own **** he obviously didnt realise he was selling the car for £3,995 not £39.95

dumb ****.

good luck any way and look round lots of scoobs before settling on one. trust me and others will vouch for this, buy with your head not your heart... i got stung and am now left with a crappy deisel and mucho kkk debt.

thats does sound like a bag of **** but not all cat d/c cars are rubbish i got myself a w reg turbo wagon with light front damage and the car is superb i paneld it up and had a mot put on never failed on a single thing you just have to make sure if you are buying damaged repaired car that there done to a high standerd like mine

 

As everyone else has said above there are plenty of good examples for that money. That one is overpriced so I'm suprised the dealer can afford to be so choosy Get your mate to keep looking.
