I didn't say it was that one.

The one I saw looked identical to the one in the ad.

It's on it's last legs more like, besides if the seats are like the S204 seats you'd have the body of someone a lot skinnier than me.

Besides for that money I'd buy an S204 or an RA-R.

Think it's early march 06 before they changed? Or correct me if I'm wrong.

when your spending 20k on a rare impreza thats going to cost you a fair bit to service and maintain,i find it odd to be worried by the tax band as thats going to be pennies compared to the running costs like v power heading towards £1.50 a litre.

A blob JDM is a far cry from a S203 and an S204 your talking £10k+ difference in price. And if road tax is an issue I wouldn't bother buying an impreza full stop.

You can get a Blob JDM with wide track for £8k and an S204 cost's £23k+ think you should have a sit down and work out which car you can afford that falls into the cheaper tax band.
It doesn't make sense that you'd spend 20k+ on an S203/S204, but you don't want to pay for the road tax?
