Default Turbo Imprezas over rated?
I can not believe this has sold for so much money when you can buy a WRX version for less and STI for the same money...crazy..

probably bumping up the price by getting a mate to bid for him or has another account, seen it many times before, look at the bidders, went from £2890 to £4000 in one bid,

Insurance will be pretty low on that and the mileage is pretty low.

Other than that, not worth that much.

Will be cheaper to insure than an STI etc, although insurers might load the premium when advised that it looks like one (and turn down future claims if they aren't!).

If I was offered that car for free I wouldn't even bother going to pick it up. Looks terrible. It's an ugly car as standard yet this has worse looking 'modifications'.

You're just jealous

Agree about the wheels though - they're awful

Poor thing, needs a new front and rear spoiler to start with and with wheels it might be worth 50p or so...
