Have a genuine interest in this car. Does anyone know it? History? Owner? Any comments or opinions would be appreciated. Not sure on the mods though! Thanks

That's not over priced if its right with no accident damage as that tends to be the biggest problem with cars like this, That is a JDM one, A UK one will cost you another £5k if you can find one, There is only 9 of them left now I think, Fud has one, Andy.F has one and another in manchester, Not sure where the others are, Probablly wrapped in bubble wrap somewhere

In all seriousness if you want to know the history or owner get on the 22b site, They have a registry, But if it is right its a bargain just a shame it's not standard IMO.

Oh, It will be this one

would also consider this one if you don't want a 100% standard car

I've seen a Type uk 22B in the Hedge end area of Southampton.

Had to read that twice then, Thought you'd seen it in a hedge, lol, I'm pretty sure the people who have them know what they are, Fud was looking for a while for his, Turned up less than 5 miles away from my house and had been there years, I never saw it once.

I have seen this car a few times and have met the owner! it's very nice!

Hopefully it will go to someone who would appreciate it, not just stick it back up for sale for 5k more!

Thanks for all your responses. Something is telling me a car like this needs to be as standard as possible.

Depends on the mods. In this case they are probably a plus point, as standard internals - even on a 22B - can be an issue.

Maybe lowest mileage one in UK?

That's a UK car but yellow flaps!!! Please take the owner outside and shoot him in front of his kids!!

they were never the same price as a P1.........somewhere over £40K when new from memory, and is one of the only Impreza's i would pay the money for......

Suberman

Wow. Interior looks brand new from that little picture.

BIG FUD

What aload of bollicks There wasn't a £20,000 difference at all and all the cars were sold in the first month,The Jap cars were brought out in 1998 and uk cars a year later 1999 They were £40,000 new.

The car above is priced very well indeed .

iTrader: (1)

your probably right about the 20 grand bit lil,my memory isnt the best.What i do remember was going to the 1999 motor show to see a P1 in the flesh (i had one on order) and being offered the 22b import for the same price as the p1 £31,500. As history proves I made the wrong decision as the P1 lost value at a stoopid rate ...if I knew then what we know now I would have had the 22b...it being imported put me off at the time.

BIG FUD

iTrader: (84)

Adam tbh buddy you are right most of the people want a complete standard form when paying this much money,But its easy sell all the upgrades 5 grand got ya self a cheap clean 22b.

Tbh standard internals on a 22b will last as long as any other jap car as long as its had the right fuel.

Deffo one off the lowest uk cars there is a few jap ones under 10k still

A jap 22b should be any where from 23k-27k depending on miles and condition A uk car with fsh and in amazing condition should be £35,000 min+

BIG FUD

iTrader: (84)

For 10 years ive been buying and selling 22b's Every one ive owned had there original purchase receipt off £39,995 Shame you didnt but one at £31,500.

All the uk cars were sold the day they arrived

iTrader: (1)

The ones who bought first probably did pay the full whack same as me....but with Subarus theres always too many made,always leftovers ,which always get sold off cheap on the quiet...its the same nowadays I got over 14k off my Cossie

dont argue with the fud, he`s nearly owned all of them at some time.

nice car btw

MattyB1983

There were not "too many" 22B's made though chap and definately no leftovers. If they did offer you one at the same money as a P1 (which I doubt) then you were a fool to knock it back.
14K off your cossie, that's because they did have leftovers. Nobody wanted one even though it's a half decent car.

Agree but doing this makes me feel i'm "trying" to make a car original "again", so kind of takes the originality factor out of the car. Like dressing Jordan up in a nun's outfit (don't know if the analogy is quite right but hey).....

stedee

iTrader: (4)

i would leave as is and enjoy it, are you going to drive it or bubble wrap it???

stevie1982

iTrader: (16)

[QUOTE=adam405sti;10788722]Thing is Adam, it is near enough standard. The engine has just had forged internals which is a good thing and the ecu upgrade is only a bonus, you are gaining peace of mind. If you really wanted to knock the guy down a chunk to get the alloys refreshed and painted the correct gold and away you go. Standard looking but safe reliable 22b. If you ever wanted more power then injectors and turbo, map tweak and away you go. Pop the standard parts in bubble wrap in a box and refit when you sell it.

Go for it, you won't regret it

there were some for sale in 1999 at the London motor show,I even had fliers ,but gave them away with all my P1 literature...deffo 31,500.and there was more than one NON subaru dealer selling them (all imports) @ that....like I said I bought the wrong one...and probably done the same again but hey ho im happy
