Default 2006 Impreza 2.5 STi Spec D for sale (486bhp)

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MESSAGES - THE CAR HAS BEEN RESERVED BY SOMEONE NOW. WILL UPDATE IF THEY DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE PURCHASE

Hi.
This is the car previously owned by Stu and then David.

I purchased the car in October from David. It's awesome.
She's now done a measly 21k miles and still in fantastic condition.

Sadly for me, my financial situation has changed (you can thank my soon to be ex wife for that) but it does present a great opportunity to pick up this car for a knocked down price.

For anyone who followed this car from its previous posting, you may recognize the spec which I have copied and re use here. Updated only for the additional 4k miles that I have added since buying it in October.

In case it's useful - I use the car to commute every day to work in London E14. Apart from the fuel economy it's a dream to drive - with the added bonus of the 486hp and amazingly well sorted handling should you ever want it

Shame it was not sold to someone who would have cherished it instead of making a fast profit.

Too true!...I just can't believe people actually buy at their prices. Well, one thing they are doing is putting resale values of Subarus up...which will be good for private sellers. My car will soon be worth £13K thanks to Cheshire and some mug will probably buy it at that, because itll be cheaper and better than Chesires offerings.
