Smile Impreza Ra-R 2.5

Hi Guys

I have been offered a genuine Impreza Ra-R based on a hawkeye

The guy is asking £30k for it

It is in yellow and has the STI six pot brakes it has covered 5400 miles and is imaculate

What do yoiu think? is it worth the money or do I just upgrade my WRX SL with an STI ?

Has anyone got any experience with these cars?

Let me know what you all think?

Many regard the RA-R as the best Impreza, so expect good comments.

It should be 2.0 litres though, unless the engine has been replaced.

You can get them for less, try for around 25k and they are 2ltr engines not 2.5's (could be immy's old car?)

Ah you are all right I just spoke to him regarding the security (tracker etc) on the car and yes it is a 2.0 (I just assumed it was a 2.5 being a hawkeye)

All this talk of RA R's, R205's & Spec C's get me thinking of having a change.

I am switching my P.C off until it all dies down. See you all in a fortnight.

If you want a pure road car "experience" the S204 beats the RA-R hands down imo. That car is stunning!
