Thought they had already gone, Gary who was on the parts desk has already moved on and is at Proven Motors in Haslemere now

Its a pain in the *** that the nearest parts department is over 45 mins away now

There won't be any Subaru Dealers left soon unless Subaru get off their rear ends and release the WRX in STi Body for £17,999 ................. which may just about rescue the Marque from certain death.

the new Subaru hatch must be just about the rarest of cars on British roads

I have seen everything from Maclarens to Ferrari F40's but I have yet to see a new Subaru hatch

The reason Cheam have closed has nothing to do with sales... the people who own the land have sold it to developers

If that was the case, surely they could relocate the business ???

If they were selling cars like they were the Imprezas in the 90's and 00's ...... they wouldn't have sold the land.

Land is cheap at the moment, the lack of sales makes the decision easier ..... sales have a link, certainly.

I don't think the owners were overly fussed about setting back up again.

And yes Anger is right, the land they were on has been sold by the landlord to have 12 retirement flats built.
