I have a silver wrx sl. Everything "looks" standard, exhaust, wheels. Would it be ok to sell it as standard.

PaulC72

No as the person buying it would have invalid insurance should they crash any performace mods should always be declared.

martwrxsl

Yes I know that but if I was to advertise it could I not meantion it was 311bhp when they got there.

Fantom

Why not mention it in the advert?

martwrxsl

Because I think I would get less people coming to look at it. Thinking it's been thrashed etc...

To be honest with you, I think they'd be more suspicious if you advertised it as 'standard' seeing that most Impreza's are modded in some way or another. I know I'd be fairly pee'd off if I travelled a fair distance to buy a 'standard' car only to find out the owner was selling it as non-standard and knew about it.

martwrxsl

Thanks for the replies I'm not selling it just wondered how many are sold as standard, but modded.

Would he not be happy with 90 bhp more and £3000 worth of receipts to prove it?

Not if he's looking for a standard scoob 'as advertised'

scoobyboy

im looking at the minute and would prefer a standard one so i wouldn't be happy if i travelled a distance and found it modded

martwrxsl

Who would ever want a standard scooby.

if you are looking mod then start with a standard car I did,
totally mint with full history 46000 miles etc.
started modding it myself.

i would not want a unmodded car but its my preference to get as close to standard as possible and do the rest my self

Cream

Apparently enough people for you to want to advertise as standard.
I have a standard Prodrive, and don't really want it any other way. 265bhp is plenty enough for me.












For now

To be honest the mods mean nothing to your average buyer.

Simon is great, but if you're not on Scoobynet Jolly Green Monster means nothing to most people, in fact they will probably think you're a bit odd.

If you're mapped to the capacity of your injectors etc, you have a duty to tell people what they are buying. Regardless of whether you consider it to have been thrashed, it has been used to a greater capacity than it was manufactured for and therefore could be argued to be more of an unknown quantity, and possibly of less value

The answer to the question is no.

Zeon

Mine's standard. You'll all be drooling over it in 20 years time like people do about mint, standard Series 1 Escort RS Turbo's these days.

Just make sure the buyer has'nt driven 100's of miles to buy a stndard car.
