Someone is intrested in swapping an Impreza for one of my cars but im not sure what its worth. Its a 99 uk turbo 2000. Mildly tuned and mapped running 280bhp with printout. Its very clean, has 115K miles on the clock and resonable history. To be honest ive always wanted one of these and white is the best colour for the classics IMO

2 to 2.5 k

seems strange that it has the earlier front end?

The Pink Ninja

There's usually a reason for that, make sure the front end is straight, Get the applied model code off him to find out exactly which model it is, might have someone else number plate on it

white2lsr

Where is that found?

Looks like a 98 model, older front end and 2 pot front brakes.
The interior will really give it away, MY99/00 cars have a nice shiny Mono Boss on the steering wheel, the 98 just has an imprint (and a phase 1.5 engine).
Value, 1.6-2k

Its an MY98 car, its not an MY99, it could be a very late registered one but its DEFINATELY NOT an MY99 (these have leather gaiters around the gear sticks anyway).

Tony

white2lsr

Hmmm. Dont know if I should go for it or not

people do change bumpers and interior parts as its easy, doesnt make it crashed,dodgy etc.

scoobychris300

But its still an MY98 car, its not an MY99 which is what we are trying to point out

Tony

99jdee

perhaps they ran out of bumpers and grills when they built that one so just looked in the parts bin an put it together lol nah just check its okay under the bonnet alignment etc etc should be ok, do a hpi etc..

white2lsr

anything to look out for when viewing?

scoobychris300

i do agree , however most dont change to make their car look older
but they will change plates to make look newer and if people dont know what they are looking for they get stung!

It all depends, if subaru didnt sell all their old stock of cars off, then there could be previous model year cars still available, they normally drop the prices on these (as they did with the MY00 cars when the MY01's came in, £15,999) to clear stock.
Dont go by the reg, go by either the model year or better still, the vin code.
