Something I'd be a bit cautious of is that he's got no feedback.
I know everyone has to start somewhere but I always let someone else test the water.

Well it is a classified so presumably he is going to see the car in the flesh, not bid over the interwebz.

Also its about 1k over priced for the miles/age.

The issue here is the OP is desperate to buy an Impreza. He thought he had one bought but now finds out its gone, so now the money is burning a hole in his pocket.
This is very dangerous because you then buy cars with your heart and not your brain, sometimes buying something that is full of problems.

OP, sit back and chill out. Take your time finding the correct car. I know your desperate to own an Impreza but I'm sure your not desperate to sort out a load of potential problems. The right car will come along at the right price trust me. Does it really matter if you own an Impreza tomorrow instead of next month ??

The car in the link is overpriced, simple as that. Move on.

I know mate, but clearly i'm under pricing it

Just put 12 months MOT on it and started buying the other bits I'd like to put on it, like an Sti up pipe, full de-cat exhaust and (another) remap so I may keep it a tad longer but if someone came up with the right money I might be persuaded

You all no me too well lol

I was desperate as the insurance company would not refund any money as I paid in full.

It seems ok no rust lots of history.

I know what your all saying about waiting obviously the mileage is annoying but like said above I just had to have one as I thought I already did have one coming.

I'm sure there will be a better one on eBay tonight lol


Loads of questions coming soon people

Thanks james

Your car looks just like mine did on the outside. Shame you don't live in Birmingham would have liked to see your car at one of the meets.

Hmm standard and 3 previous owners.. Im not saying it was modded but how hard is it to put standard parts back on. Personally like above you could get better for less. miles do mean something even if it does have history...

That doesn't sound right. Even if you pay in full you are entitled to your money back. As moley told you yesterday they may deduct some for time already used on the policy and an admin fee, but that's it. You should get a refund. 100% sure of that.

Had a quick look. Tints are fine mate leave them lol.

I would say no to both of them cars.

The second one has no mention of actual millage only what the new engine has done. Why was the engine replaced.

Only some service history.

Trust me there are better examples.

Alot of people don't always list items correctly on ebay etc. so the less you put in the search bar the more you get. When I'm looking at just parts I only type in impreza. you will be surprised by what actually comes up. Try it and see the amount of cars there are by just typing that in. Have a sift through mate.
