Default Impreza 300 Black Edition??

Thinking of getting back into a Impreza after a couple of years and this one has caught my eye...

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...urbo?logcode=p

I like to think I've a good knowledge of the models Subaru produced, but I never heard of this one??

Could it just be a ill informed dealer?

Car seems to read and look ok...

any thoughts?

cheers

Yum yum bullsh1t

It looks like a WRX SL which came with leather heated seats and sunroof, can't see if this has got one

No such thing as a 300 Black Edition lol

The numbers are wrong as there were loads of SL's of many colours

Things to watch would be those powdercoated WRX rims which like to crack and fail in some cases where they have been compromised during the powdercoating process

As has been said mate, no such thing as a Black edition. They are trying to make it sound more special than it really is.

The leather seats that come in some imprezas, are they as "supportive" as the cloth sti/wrx seats or are they built more for comfort?

"THIS VEHICLE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION" - except for the exhaust pipe, which looks very rust-coloured (pics 4-5)

"YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER CLEANER EXAMPLE THAN THIS" - you probably can if you stick to enthusiasts or specialist sites

"BOUGHT WITH THE UTMOST CARE AND ATTENTION" - except when they took pictures of the rear end with the rusty looking exhaust clearly visible

In conjunction with the made-up edition in the blurb, I wouldn't.

i doubt its rust as it looks like a stainless steel exhaust, probably road grime mine gets filthy after a few miles.

id say its not a bad car for the money, maybe knock of 4 or 5 hundred quid.

You're probably right - but once you've noticed it, it stands out against the rest of the car.

You'd presume that they'd have at least taken the time to polish it up a bit while they were doing the rest of the car, particularly as they're trying to sell it.

I'm probably too picky.

.... made a note of advertising my car as follows, when I come to sell it:

"Fuji very Heavy Industries Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type-UK Model (only for the UK market!), with special cutom tuning by Prodrive of Banbury- in very rare Blue Mica Edition"
