Default Thoughts on this car guys ??

Thoughts on the car in the following link guys ??

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-m...s-fsh/78564108

Dont like the rear spoiler design prefering the more common high level sti design one but its is from the Prodrive stable so guess its sellable !!!

thought on the price off the car ?? spec c whats this then ??

For £5100 that's NEVER a Spec C
It's a plain SL model WRX. SL was the interior trim, leather and a couple other goodies.

I'd personally be wary just because of the fact the owner has written Spec C in the advert when it clearly isn't

Spoiler is off one of the other limited edition runs, UK 300 perhaps, not sure but someone on here will know

Yep okay thanks appreciatte what you are saying but personally think the advert heading where it mentioned spec c was possibly just worded wrong and anyone who knew about subarus would either know what spec c was or do a little research would not have been fooled had the car been tried to been passed off as such. would certainly not have written the car from my viewing list on this point alone !!

a quick look thru autotrader shows plenty off adverts for cars which have totally wrong pics / descriptions etc, got so bad that on occasions there are more sports cars in the normal everyday car section !!!

anyone again thanks for your input guess will never know what happened to this low mileage wrx !!!

Okay thanks sounds nice apart from the wagon bit ( sorry wagon owners !! ) yep there are obviously bargains out there and to be honest in no bug rush so will hold out for one that suits me in every way ie colour / model / mileage etc.

cheers guys
