Default Subaru Impreza wrx Classic

Hi I'm selling my Impreza it's a 94 wrx imported in 2009 so bodywork is good. It's had an sti engine fitted. It has a front mounted intercooler. Lightweight speed line alloys with good tyres. It had full service in July totalling £1195 and has hardly been used since.its mechanically sound and runs really well.it has a full stainless system,turbo timer and is really clean underneath! It's got 104000 on speedo but allot of that is Kms and the sti engine was out of a low mileage write off I'm looking to upgrade that's why I'm selling it. It's only a wrx on v5 so it's cheap to insure.Mot is until July £2200Ono 07779134092

Here's the link for pictures http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...m5-wrx/3853320

Please no stupid comments or time wasters

Hi
has it been mapped to suit the modifications? If so who mapped it please?

Also regarding the cheap insurance, is that because you don't tell them about the engine swap or does the engine swap mean cheaper insurance?

Cheers

This^^^^^

When someone says pm me for info/ price/ history etc I always assume there's something to hide.

OP put all of the info in your ad, it will stop you answering the same questions over and over plus won't make it look like you have something to hide.

Your always goin to get comments like this with an add like yours this is the second time youv listed it although you have changed the add you clearly know nothing about this car and bring it to a forum of experienced enthusiast with a puss poor add overpriced at that even if it had an Sti engine the year it was from is crucial as some of the later ones wrx and Sti engines were the same and if you didn't swap the ecu or injectors it's prob still between 240 and 260 bhp these factors determine what your car's worth with a poor add like this I wouldn't pay more than 1300

I did get a mechanic to look over the car before I bought it and he was happy with it and said the front intercooler had been fitted properly. I know the guys in northern Ireland that built it and they have raced cars for the last 20 yrs so they know what they are doing but obviously this is all verbal with no proof which is why I've not mentioned it! I had the rear pads done last week and they remarked how clean and rust free the car was for a 1994! If you can advise me how to find engine number or to identify which engine has been fitted I will look tomorrow and post the findings. I paid £2500 a couple of months ago for it and thought it was allot of car for the money but if it's not worth that then I'm open to offers but I think people will be surprised if they look at it and drive it. I'm selling it because ive got a new job with company vehicle so it won't get used

Ebay, gumtree and those subaru facebook pages are your best bets for selling this car IMO............Its not special or cheap enough to sell on here.
