hi guys and girls,,
im looking at buying my first scooby soon wanted one for a long time but can now just about afford it!!
this is ine of the ones im looking at
Subaru IMPREZA WRX STI 04/54 MET BLUE 43K FSK on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 15-May-08 16:33:38 BST)
can you give me any info on what to look for and is it priced ok??
just about anything you can think of that will help me out

many thanks bren

 

Wheels look good, bodykit is awful IMHO & notice that there is an induction kit (not standard!) lurking under the bonnet.

Try looking in the for sale section on hear, or Pistonheads.
You generally get enthusiast on these forums which would be a better buy.imo

 

is the non standard induction kit a problem??

 

^^ Might be alright, just depends on what else has been changed. Add says car is standard when it quite clearly isn't!

This one looks good (Jap import though):

wrong spoiler for year too

 

I know the guy very well that is selling that beast, and i tell you what id rip his hand off if i had the money to buy it he's a proper enthusiast and loves his car like a wife

A JDM scoob thats been well looked after is worth its weight in gold, and is much more sort after than the UK version (more toys ) Twin scroll turbo ect yeah baby yeah
Performance wise it'd kill the one on ebay
Save yourself £650 and get a JDM fella

 

it's all Zero Sports add ons. most of the catalogue by the looks of it

not everyones tastes, but far from cheap, horrible fitting stuff. must have cost a fair few quid getting that look.

looks like it's got the 05 spec suspension,dash and dccd-a on it aswell, if the kit is to your tastes that's a cheap car there

 

If you don't mind me asking whats wrong with a import ??, also just think of that nice saving you will be making over a UK spec on road tax over the next two years !!!

The cheapest way to tax a new age;

JDM / UK
2008 = £185 / £210
2009 = £185 / £440
2010 = £200 / £455

 

mines up for sale at the mo, interested?

2005 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX BLUE on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 20-May-08 17:56:42 BST)

 

there is 2005 ppp sti uk for sale think it is up by Alexppp or somethin similar up for around the same price plus you get the wider rear running gear

As fast as an M3 and most Evos - not bad for £13,250..........

 

Yep Jap import!!! The new dials on the dash and the rear window wiper are a sneaky giveaway.And i'd agree the kit does look turd!! IMHO.

 

Nothing wrong with it (mine's a JDM!), I just meant it wasn't a UK car as the OP seemed to be looking at UK ones.

Thats a car imported by Dave Hendry and was actually magazine featured. It features most of the Zero Sports kit on it and is quite a mint car, if you can get over the looks. Its had a lot of cash spent on it wich is always a good start
