Well I just got back from a 400mile round trip to pick up my new scooby.

SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI 2004 ONLY 30K on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 17-Mar-09 12:04:00 GMT)

I got her for £7500 which I think is good , she drives mint as a new car almost. Mint body work , mint interior. She needs a service and tyres , also a spare key so hence the price I guess. Always glad to have low miles though. Alot of car for the money.


Just wanted to say thanks lads for the advice , no questions have gone un answered.




Oh by the way there will be 100's more questions

4 Owners and only 30,000 miles?

Hmmmmmm.

Yeah I thought that too, the dealer had a print out of the keepers two were garages, I have the mots for the mileage too. Steering wheel looks new so do the seats and pedals etc , looks **** on with the miles , but I know what your saying.

7.5k for a 04 STi with 30k on th clock!!!

Have they really depreciated that much, My 1999 STi must be worth about 99p then!!!!


Cracking car you got there mate, i guess there is a good thing to come out of the credit crunch at the moment as you can get a lot of cars cheap now!!!

btwellz

guess so , I checked and double checked it over hpi ect , it has had paint on the front bumper but all panals are original so it may have had a shunt who knows ! Thats about as critical as I can get! Tyres wont be cheap brigestone I beleive , but yeah good deal I thought.

As long as its not on the register as a cat D etc then I wouldnt be bothered, Most older Impreza's ive seen have had some paint in there life, even if its over fussy owners having front bumpers and bonnets sprayed to get rid of stonechips, I had a few cars sprayed to get rid of stonechip in the past!!!

Had one bloke view my old Evo 7 and walk away because I has the bumpers front and rear resprayed to get rid of stonechips and a slight scuff, he said that he would rather have bought the car with the stonechips!!!

Looks like it might have been had a wee respray on the front if there are no stone chips, also no STi stickers on the fog covers, so it could have just been sprayed to look mint.

Nice car BTW, enjoy it

Well had a reallclose up and yes bumper has been sprayed and the wing bonnet must have been too, looks like it may have had a shunt , I dont think the bumper is fitted quite right will have a better look tomorrow.

When do I need to use the old intercooler spray ?

Also noticed a slight not knock but more of a creeking from the o/s rear shocker area , any ideas?

Looks mint mate, and 04 for 7.5k bargin. If it as or anit had a spray at least every mark from now on will be by you, or car park dents

IC spray is pretty much a gimmick, never used mine.
Rear shockers knocking is a common problem so they will need replacing, no idea of cost as mine were done under warranty.

Has it had its 30k service as this is an expensive one, around 350 quid.

Looking at the pictures the front wheels appear to be pointing straight ahead but the internal shot shows the steering wheel turning slightly, is this the case?

If all ok, enjoy.

Nik.

btwellz

No needs its 30k service now , after owning a Shogun Sport Warrior servicing prices are about the same.

btwellz

Yeah steering is fine

nik52wrx

In which case get it serviced and enjoy what is a superb value car
Glad i got rid of mine when i did going by today's prices
