hi guys, was looking on ebay and came across this nice scooby:

1994 SUBARU IMPREZA CHEAP INSURANCE on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 28-Jun-08 20:36:09 BST)


i am really getting tempted , cuz it is a 1.6 on the logbook (cheap insurance and tax ) and it looks really mint to me with a new rebuilt engine on it and i guess it has been well looked after, well i am not sure yet (asked the owner about HPI and if it was damaged, no reply yet)

so what do you guys think? anyone knows the car????

isn't it abit too pricy???

what other things should i look for to make sure it is the right car?


please give me some advice as i want to go and view the car soon

cheers

Seems very pricey to me. Have a look in the insurance section on the forum and give Keith Michaels a ring on here, I think.

Apparently very cheap, but you've got to make sure you speak to him.

If anything it will cost you more for insurance. The modifications, which you have to declare, will put the insurance through the roof. It's a 1.6 GL honest, but it's got full WRX running gear, engine, turbo, etc.

Buy an unmolested UK specification Classic if you want cheaper insurance on a turbo.

he wont touch ya not now uve listed it on here its a 2.0 modded but says 1.6 on logbook lol

Window tints are too dark so wouldn't (shouldn't) pass an MOT.

Mikkel

Nice looking car but it is far too pricey IMO.

20withascooby

mine are dark and there is no act section in the mot that states about window tints asked around a few places

Prepare to be proven wrong. will see what i can find.

wrong, front windows need to let at least 70% of light through. If they don't its a fixed penalty and the cops can seize your car

a lot of imports have the wrong vehicle details on the log book, will be helpful for mot but nothing else. The car needs to be insured as an import wrx 2.0

Cant see the link from work but a 1994 car in reality shouldnt be paying more than 2k tops for a vg condition.

(bearing in mind there are uk 1999 models on here for sale for 3 - 3.5k )

Agree too much money. I boughtmine a year ago for £3k, and it is as good, if not better.

Insurance needs to be opn the correct model, if not, you not insured. If and when you get in an accident, they won't pay out and could report you to the old bill. Its really not worth it.

the police can but go to a mot station and ask em wt the policy is on window tints if u have your windows down they dont do em up to look do they nope,dont see them testing with a light meter nope asked 5 diff places down here all said theres nuthing in the book that says about window tints only about sunstrips

Way too expensive.
Why spend all that money to convert a 1.6 to a WRX when it would be cheaper to buy a wrx in the first place.

You are not allowed any tints AT ALL on the front windows, if a garage is offering to do this then they are doing so illigally!!

20withascooby

then all the garages in that i went to in kent must be then lol

iTrader: (41)

lol, you can try an avoid it as much as you want but they are still illegal if they don't allow at least 70% of light through and can lead to being issued point and a fine or your car be seized...you pays your money and makes your choice

20withascooby

sat alongside and behind many police never said anything went thru mot no questions

jaytc2003

it wont be a converted 1.6 A lot of imports were classed as 1.6 when imported because there was no turbo model on the uk listings or something like that.


You are allowed tints on the front side windows, but they have to let xx% of light through (think someone mentioned 70%)
The windscreen however is a different story

and dont forget the roadside removal of said tints in front of the police

sco8bystu

Well done, you have been lucky so far...doesn't change the law though and they are excuse to pull you over, then if it takes them the cops can do an extensive check on your car; do you have a cat fitted? are all your mods declared?

As I said, you pays your money and makes your choice

oxymoron

2WD 1600cc? If/when you have an accident, youll find yourself with nothing more than 3rd party cover...

lol, yeah saw a Range Rover having its tints peeled recently onTV...can't remember which programme though

20withascooby

road wars ???black one with a milf in it dont need a cat pre 95 import

trails

iTrader: (41)

yep, ta thats the one

Have to be honest I don't know if you do need a cat, I was just using a common non-compliance as an example...so all your colour coding, rear lights, splitter etc are declared then?
