Default Subaru on ebay - thoughts ??

See this car is still up for sale on ebay :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2002-SUBARU-IM...item4aab71acc3

looks a nice spec , low mileage, asked the owner about cam belt and claimed it had not been done - appreciatte its under the mileage for change off belt but given age thats the first thing that would be done !!

tax has also ran out - which would mean no on road test drive ??!!

cheapest the guy would go is £3800 no less , worth a look ??

Doesn't look too bad. His english isn't great and the 6 points is worrying but the car seems in pretty good nick. Standard is always better when buying.

[QUOTE=jaygsi;10070292]You know its a jap import so check insurance.

Makes little if no difference to the major scooby specialised insurance companies from what I have been advised by gary on here.

Not a standard WRX intercooler. Looks like an STI intercooler to me with a dump valve fitted and a zero sports induction pipe. Not standard then as described. But saying that it still looks good.

Okay thanks yep guy did say standard but did mention the fitting off a new dump valve, this sti intercooler / zero sports induction pipe, likely to make much off a difference ?? is it normal to fit an sti intercooler to the wrx or could it point to a story to be told ??!!

Could be a ppp intercooler as it hasnt got the STI logo. Similar units. at 265bhp I would imagine it has the prodrive performance pack fitted which has the intercooler hose. maybe they upgraded the intercooler too. Induction pipe wont make much of a difference if any difference to power. But looks nice!

Looks like a nice car to me!

Jap Bug WRX's had 250 ish BHP out of the box with AVCS on the inlet side (I think) so unlikely to have PPP as that's a UK thing........Intercooler looks stock bug WRX to me.

Looks clean but after all it's only a WRX, they don't make good money at the moment.
