1997 Impreza STi
For sale is my 1997 Impreza STi in white. I've thought about selling it before but always held onto it. However I don't use it anymore and it just sits on the drive week in, week out as it's a second car. The car is currently sorn but can be taxed at the buyers cost.
I'm looking for a quick sale before I change my mind. Hence the sale price of £2,200 ovno.
- Circa 90k miles
- MOT until June
- Full STi spec, carbon instrument binacle, carbon front struct brace, red, grey and black STi interior etc
- Stainless DP back exhaust
- Induction kit
- J Speed heat sheild
- Rear upper strut brace
- Red Rally Style mudflaps
- Some service history
- Recent oil change
- New battery

It's been sitting on axle stands for 2 months and sorn'd for nearly 4 months. I have bits in the garage to fit but no motivation to do it
will you be replacing the scoob down the line or do you think thats the last one you will have?

He's taking it well because there was nothing wrong with it when he left. I took him out in it before he agreed to buy it and it wasn't slipping then and I didn't hold back. I did this to prove that the clutch, box and diff were fine. Nor did the boost pipe blow off. I've had one come off on me in the past on my old ra and it's not great. Because of this I always make sure that they are tight.
As I've already said to you via phone and text I'm sorry that you are disappointed but to my knowledge all was fine before you bought it. In my experience a clutch doesn't move it's bite point or start slipping within half hour. If you felt the bite was high you should have mentioned it before you drove off. Why would I not disclose something as obvious as a slipping clutch? It's only going to cause me problems. I'm a bit confused?

There is no point me complaining about the clutch for no reason and the boost pipe did blow off twice... no jubilee clips
oh yeah YOU took me round your house about 500 yards hardly had a chance to go over 20mph
clutch was high and its was slipping silly all the way back to Manchester (260 miles)?
i rang you telling you the problem but tbh after you where adamant that it was alright i didnt want to argue over the point
the car does drive nice so dont want to cause a argument but id would have liked to be told the clutch was slipping
also like you said you have driven the car less than 4k since 2009
personally i would like it if you could refund me something as a gesture if not i guess ill just have to wait till payday
im not going to let a slipping clutch ruin an otherwise perfect transaction
maybe he didnt know himself the clutch was slipping as it was hardly driven????

Good car at a great price, even if the clutch has decided to disagree with a new owner its no great hardship

After letting the car warm up a little and after a first pass round, I accelerated right through the rev range in first, second and third after you asked if the clutch was ok so was doing well over 20mph. This would have shown if there was a problem. It would not have caused it to fail shortly after either. It would also have blown the boost pipe off then if there had been no clips on it.
For those wondering why the test route was a short one albeit further than 500 yrds, is because I had the car sorn and don't make a habit of breaking the law.
It's a bit strange that you are complaining that you didn't get to drive it as you asked me to drive it rather than drive it yourself which is a bit odd when buying a car.
I'm afraid I won't be making you a good will gesture refund as I am happy with how the car drove before you left and didn't withold any information on the car. Also I have no idea how it was treated on the drive home?
If I had concerns over the car these would have been advised to you or I would have removed the car from sale. Especially something like the clutch. I'm not the sort of person that likes to be stitched up so I don't make a habit of stitching people up.
I'm sorry that you aren't happy with the clutch but as above I am happy that the car was fine before it left my possesion.
