Subaru : Subaru Impreza STI Spec C

For some reason there seems to be no mention that its a damaged repaired car......

as long as its been repaired to a good standard and it was just body damage, and the price reflects the damage. surely theres no problem?

TonyBurns

You didnt see it damaged
If I can find the pics, you wouldnt want to touch it it was that bad that it shouldnt be back on the road

Looks like it's been repaired very well but would like to see the in depth pics or repair job! (Are they the old pics or the now pics after it's been fixed?)

Can't Piston heads remove this as the person is not being honest ?

The damage on that car was so bad that Powerstation were origionaly going to built it up into a race car but on inspection it was going to cost to much to repair not worth there while but on saying that the car was back on the road in 6 weeks,as i said in an earlier post the damage underneath was severe the car from what I have seen has done the rounds and more than likely the new owner doesnt even know about its history which is a shame and to sound off abit it might even been cloned using a nicked car.

Thanks for the heads up.

Damaged repaired vehicles should have their history explicitly stated when being advertised.

Thats not bad.

Why do people think that the manufacturers make repair sections? The answer is because the cars can be repaired with heavier damage than this and repaired properly.

still doesn't make it right that it's being sold with no mention of damage! you'd be sick if you bought it, then came on here and seen the pics!

Just done a panel count. Thats not a 2nd hand car. Most of its brand new

What about the chassis??

There seems to be a row of Subarus behind it (is the blue on a P1?) I wonder where the pics were taken ?

I wouldnt touch it.

The whole engine was pushed back two inches and subsequently trashed the transmission. It's bent as a butchers hook and it should NOT be on the road.

The fact also remains that it's a Spec C Type-RA with bits on it that standard Spec C's don't have. I know for a fact that it has not been repaired using those original bits.

Sorry to say, but that car would be a write off, its been knocked back about 12 inches on the front, your going to have chassis damage on that, and if the chassis is twisted, so will the shell.
I had a pug 306 GTI with front damage (i was in it at the time 11 years ago) which had less damage than that, it just made it in under 8k to repair, 11 years ago! and they replaced the chassis on that (and the parts were cheaper on a pug than scoob).
Bet if you look closely enough, half the parts are not off a spec c (just look at the front bumper, its off a uk car) so that would include the cooling system and probably glass/body panels (plus this one also had rear damage if i remember) so not cheap to fix.

Maybe some of you know more than is obvious by reading this but unless the car is fully inspected pictures like this dont actually mean alot!!!

I agree with what everyone says about that the advert should state it has been damaged repaired, but what if this person wasnt aware? its possible....how many cars get bought and sold without having an HPI check etc?

And the fact that its said that this wasnt going to be financially viable to repair is interesting....here it is being sold repaired!

Im in one of those moods and going o play devils advocate here....I agree whole heartidly with everyones comments that it should be clear the history on this car and that damaged repairables are not always repaired to the standards we would all expect. At the moment I see no evidence that this car is not

The seller must know about the damage as the car is / was too cheap + how do you explain the sudden change of heart ie add now deleted.

Can someone post pics up of the car inj its current state as i cannot see the thread mon piston heads as its been removed.

It must have been such a good repair that he didnt want to do more than 500 miles in his 6 months of ownership
This car sold on ebay for about 8.5k, do you think they may have understood that for 14k under the going rate there may be something a little wrong?

Im going to be ignorant now ha ha

I still just have speculation and no proof there is anything wrong with this car

(but dont say we didnt warn you! especially if powerstation didnt want to repair it!)
