When buying a car, the last thing I like is uncertainty - and I would rather buy another where everything is above board and stacks up ......... too many cars for sale to accept anything less than perfect.

Oh noes! Wish I hadn't seen this thread - I'm picking her up on wednesday! 
No mention in the history I saw of a bump (though perhaps that wouldn't be a suprise).
#346 apparently no entry for it on the RB5oc website though.
Its my first Subaru so I hadn't noticed the bumper lettering stickers thing..

Me too! I dont think any of the Holdcroft group would knowing sell a nail, my folks have dealt with Holdcroft Saab for the best part of 20 years now and have nothing but praise.
As far as identifying it as a genuine RB5 any advise? It had the numbered plaque and gear ****, anywhere else it should be or any RB5 owners have any idea about chassis numbers?
Will ask on RB5oc..

Phil dont worry you have alot more come back with a dealer check it all out and i bet its ok the badge issue could be something or nothing if not sure ask the garage get a independent check .i would rather pay a little bit more than buy a complete dog .Enjoy the experience

Cheers Winker, I can tell you I certainly enjoyed the test drive 
I had been at the Holdcroft group to look at an Alfa 147 GTA but the RB5 stole my heart!

It's not over-priced because it's a standard example ..... yes, if it had been messed about with it would be cheaper.
Enjoy, in the knowledge you have a sound investment - just don't change it!!!

Well not walked past it quite... It had more miles on the clock (though not massively more) and the body work was okay but let it down in a few areas, couple of small dents, fading/dull paint work (not to mention there was a lump of wood lodged in the unside when I looked underneath!). Put them next to each other the RB5 seemed better for the money as the GTA was 1.5k more..
Plus I've owned an Alfa before and know the trial and tribulations (and horrendous service costs) it can bring too!
Yup the Alfa was beautiful but the RB5 aint ugly, is just as fast, cheaper, less miles. But then again, the Alfas interior was sublime and it sounded great....
Damn it why have you said this to me!?
Thanks, don't worry - not planning on changing it much at all!
