Looks a straight car to me. Always worth giving the clinic a ring and speaking to them, i'm sure if all the work has been carried out by them they'll have records of the car

Due the 500 quid plug change and fluids service now though is it not ?
Just something to keep in mind and barter with .

Looks sweet though. Has he mentioned a buy now ?

I have emailed him and he has said the reserve is £13500 and he isnt prepared to go ony lower, i have rang scoobyclinic and spoke to a chap called Adam, hes confirmed that the work was carried out by them and that the car is a stunner and very very quick!!!

Im sure its worth £13500 but i have only had standard imprezas but not want something a bit different so in totally with the plate £13900 and he will put it through an MOT.

I have spoke to the owner and he sounds a really decent chap,, but i thought i would get some advice from this forum as my knowledge is limited.

Thanks again guys

Norman Dog - I have had an isurance qoute,, im lucky in the fact a very close friend owns his own insurance company and has agreed to insure me for a very reasonable price so that side of things is covered. Im looking forward to seeing it now in the flesh so to speak. just hope i win it on Ebay,, it has been bid up very quick so i assume there are alot of interested parties, will have to see how it goes.

sorry for the questions but this will be the most money i have spent on a car and i want it to be the right one.

Thanks again guys

jinkus,
A word of warning,
3 months ago I bought an Sti with the same power and similar spec and my cheeks ache for hours from all of the smiling that I do when I drive it
Good luck and hope you get it for the right price

If I had 13.5k I would have that myself. Had an STI PPP and even they can scare the pants off you. This thing must fly! Buy it and smile forever!!

errrrr......well worth the £13.5K price tag even without the plate

I'm not quite sure what Plod would say about the blatant illegal spacing to make X885 EAN look anything like SEAN though !!

Yeah the plate looks good though,, plus at £400 its cheap really. The owner says he has never been pulled or stoped with the plates but he did say he may just have been lucky.

Due to view the car at 3:00pm so will let u know how it goes.

Just got back from seeing the car - Im still shaking. I've never been in anything so quick!!!!! when he put his foot down it pinned me to the seat and i mean pinned me, & the noise the car makes between boost is awsome.

The owner was really nice,, showed me all the relevant documentation and everything was totally as described. I was very very impressed.

I asked if he would end it early and he said at this stage it wouldnt be fair on other Ebayers to end the auction,,, but he did say if it dosent reach the reserve he will sell it me at the highest bid. He did say he had 68 wtachers so i will have to see what happenes.

Just hope it dosent go crazy at the last minute as Ebayers usual leave it till late in the auction to bid. We will see!!!! I will let u all know.

Thanks again guys, i appriciate the help & advise.

I'm sure if u turned up with £13500 in cash in your pocket he'd end it early..
That way he's not liable to Ebay fees either.

Good luck m8

I think my plate would look good if i were to replace numbers for letters.
How he hasn't been stopped with four letters ending his registration is beyond belief.
That aside the car looks top rank.
