buying a P1 need assistance
hi guys,
firstly my apologies if i am in the wrong place, but i am desperately seeking assistance from any P1 owners out there....
i am looking to purchase P1 no 545 and i have aquery about the stamp on the top of the front suspension struts... and whether they all say "subaru uk" or whether some say "fuji heavy industries" because the RAC write up back in the day said to watch out for non subaru uk ones?????
please help as i don't wanna buy a ringer..
thanks in advance

Have you looked for previous owners/threads on the car over at the p1woc?

They have a database I think. Maybe you can glean some more info on the car in question :-)

That's just rubbish, any car over £3500 costs £10 to list and £35 final value so a £5k car would cost £45 in total and if it doesn't sell only £10.
You would have to sell a car for £300 or less for the fees to equal 10%.

One wee word of advice, look through the service history and see if theres many receipts from scoobyprojects in Ledbury.
They spread there name about as THE p1 specialists and had alot of cars come through the doors as a result..... jist is they were mechanically incompetent and wrecked alot of good cars.
Im not saying this is one of them or even that if it went there its guaranteed to have issues .... all i am saying is that if it has been there, get it properly checked over for matching dampers and general scruffy workmanship. it wasnt unheard of for him to nick parts off customers cars to get other cars out the door.
