This is it, then ..
Cast your expert eyes over this ... is it a bit wordy or about right?
Joking! - but, I didn't want to write its life history ... just the bare facts and let the buyer decide ... ?
Not sure when it will get approved for placement, the link may or may not work yet? You get a pre-view!

I'd be very suspect about the advert having no proper name or a phone number attached to it.
Price is very reasonable so it doesn't look like a scam, but the lack of phone number and name would put me personally off, sorry

Thanks for your comments ....
Yep, non smoker.
I do think I may regret selling it ... I'll keep it if it doesn't sell (obviously, but what I mean is that there is no pressure on me to sell).
It's shocking how cheap these are isn't it? I mean, we are talking pocket money.

As said I wouldn't enquire about a car that didn't have at least a first name initial and full surname/phone number available on the advert.
Just the same as some wouldn't be interested in either a short but sweet advert with very little detail given or one written in text speak. I'd skip right past it

The short but sweet advert doesn't do it for you then?
To be honest, I like the e-mail way to do business ... I don't like the mobile phone route - a landline would be different and give some confidence.

Am I asking too little?
Or is this fella asking too much?

£3.5k overprice IMHO. I wouldn't even entertain a phonecall with him for one reason - Lexus lights. One type of person likes Lexus lights on a Scoobaru and that type of person will generally have a weaker engine
Saying that, I cant even afford a Scoobaru at the moment...

But, the Subaru Dealer did say that the market is very strong for the best last Classic Impreza's ...... I suppose it would be at such small prices - what else comes close?

Yep, first person to view ........ I guess they don't come along like this too often?
Great people too .... knew what they wanted, had plenty of Impreza's in the past - got another great one now.

Yeah, I think it has - it will be loved as I have - I am still heartbroken ...... what makes grown men sad to see an Impreza leave?
Nothing will be the same as 10 years with one of the best cars ever made .... the new HatchBack just doesn't ring the same bells as the old Classic.
I was so lucky to have grabbed one of the last great Impreza's ... Subaru couldn't offer me anything like the Classic experience .... so I, and many others, have moved on to pasture's new.
Subaru, you need to look to what your buyers want ... they want quirky, they want fast, they want value ..... to try to appeal to the massses isn't going to work, as the HatchBack is, frankly, sadly, utter pants!! And that is from someone who loves Subaru!!!!
Hello, Honda ....

Glad to see that you sold your car quickly Pete and that you did not have put up with test pilots, dreamers and tyre kickers.
I am happy to see that it has been bought by an enthusiast who will take good care of her, I think that you sold her for a good price as well.
Sad day as it is the end of an era.

The end of an era -yes.
Time moves on ... Subaru, haven't ....
I so wanted to buy a new Impreza ... but they are just not in the running anymore, no WRC success, no great cars, just cheap tat they think will appeal to the masses - it doesn't!!!!! Good god, Subaru - give us a quirky looking car which is built from the engineering up, not from some Kia lookalike down!!!
Please, Subaru, wake up!!
