2005 Impreza WRX SL (leather) Wagon PPP Crystal Grey
Ok, so after 3 years of trouble free motoring it's time to sell my 2005 (05) Subaru Impreza WRX SL Wagon, Cyrstal Grey with Retro fitted Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP) 260bhp
SL spec: Tilt/slide sunroof, full black leather seats (heated fronts)
£SOLD
Mileage currently 85k
MOT expires 06-03-2018. Current MOT shows advisory for N/S headlamp out of alignment, this was my fault as I recently upgraded the bulbs and didn't seat the bulb correctly, now fixed.
12 months road tax £295
Full service history up to when I bought it in 2014, and I have carried out annual oil changes since.
It will come with 2 original remote keys, service book, original manual and leather folder, a pile of MOT printouts, all receipts etc in a ring binder that I keep up to date.
V5 is in my name at my current address. HPI clear with no outstanding finance and no damage/accidents etc.
I have recorded all history (parts replaced, jobs completed) during my ownership on a spread sheet, see photo.
The engine hardly uses a drop of oil, and goes between annual services without needing a top-up. I do monthly oil level checks and take a picture of the dip stick level and the mileage, pics available upon request.
I have treated this car as an on going project to return it to as close to showroom condition as possible and to also make well judged improvements, most improvements are based on the Prodrive GB270. See my ownership thread here which documents everything I have done to the car: http://bbs.scoobynet.com/members-gal...l#post11434723
OVERALL CAR CONDITION:
The car drives like new and is totally reliable with good strong battery, starts first time even in sub zero conditions. The Crystal grey paint comes up as new and looks stunning, I have clayed and sealed it myself. There are no carpark dings and only a few minor stone chips to the bonnet/front bumper. I have re-undersealed all 4 wheel arches to make sure they have sufficient protection as the original underseal tends to flake off. There is no rust to the bodywork, and any stone chips have been quickly touch-up.
It will be sold on it's original 17in WRX wheels (with virtually new Nokian winter tyres) which are in near perfect condition with no kerbing. They were refurbed before I bought the car and have only seen light use since (winter only).
I have decided to sell the car with the newly refurbed Bug WRX leather seats with contrast blue stitching (original mint SL seats are available, currently in storage) The rest of the interior looks as new.

Cheers lads, this is the longest I've ever kept a car, 3yrs 1month and counting but just couldn't bring myself to advertise it lol. It's looking better than ever now as just had rear bumper painted to sort some annoying scuffs, pics added.
