Default took a look at this yesterday.....

seem's a little too cheap,especially as it was for sale at a "franchised" dealership

Harratts Used Cars

i quizzed the salesman about the car,as something just didnt ring true with the car/mileage/age/price,but all i got was vauge answers

or,is this what the impreza used market has slumped too

Its not a WR1 nor has it got front fogs - but they've forgotten about the lower grill and lip spoiler. Could be other goodies added that they are clueless about.
Seems cheap but it may be a sign of the times.
Its worth a punt if it checks out OK for crash damage/HPI.

its a nissan dealership so wont have a clue car wise but is a sign of the times these price make me feel sick about the kind off money i spent getting mine naily 3 years back but these kind of dealers want them off the books asap so as long as its a descent profit there not bothered.
so lots of bargins to be had if your buying

Took a look at the advert, if the car was a Euro import it would have been £20k ish new so £13k at three years old looks about right. As for the WR1 description, they were all blobeyes in Aqua anyway, probably not a deliberate intention to decieve anyone.

my blob sti came up on a search from my number plate for insurance as a wrx sti wr1 could just be the search engine they used and as said above the garage might not know much about scoobs, and i would say that price is about right

They'll only be using the WR1 in the title to grab more punters doing a t'internet search.

If that is the correct price that is a fooking bargain!! And with less than 7k on the clock.
Maybe I should have waited...

Bought my scoobs from them, salesman didn't have a clue that the boost wasn't working properly got a good deal so bought the car of off them. They sale more of Mitsi warriors than anything else really, they used to sell evos but got broken into few many times hence stopped. Nice guys but a bit clueless about other than mitsis
