Default MY98 UK Wagon FSH 75k Miles **HUGE PRICE DROP**

Sadly I'm having to sell my wagon, I bought it last year from Neil @ Slowboy who was using it as his run around. Since then I've spent a lot of money maintaining the car to the first class mechanical state it is in now. All work has been carried out by Rich @ FB tuning unless otherwise stated;

New Exedy clutch last year
Crystal headlights
Subaru flywheel (brand new not skimmed)
Subaru 3 port boost solenoid (brand new - DIY fitted)
Subaru MAF (brand new - DIY fitted)
Subaru Sti strut brace last week
New discs last week
Millers Oil & filter change last week
New gear box bushes
New engine bushes last week
Brand new Eagle F1's (not cheap)
10 months MOT & Tax
HEL brake lines last week

Will also give you a set of four pot fronts and 2 pot rears that I was planning on getting refurbed worth about £250

No rust, no issues, no mods just a really well looked after original car. Even has original tape player and cd multichanger! Oh and a working non leaking sunroof.

Was planning on giving the car to my dad hence spending so much money making it perfect, but my mother decided he didn't want it anymore...

If you want a car that you definitely won't need to spend any money on for a long while you could do a lot worse, will be sad to lose it, but grateful to get some money back out of it.

I do have a few spare panels wing and doors that will come with the car if wanted, got them cheap and they're perfect.

Minor imperfections include roof lining starting to sag - will include a roll of brand new roof lining material with sale.

As expected has the odd scuff, no damage just a couple of light bumper scrapes and car park dings, but nothing that stands out.

Drivers bolster has a very small hole.

Car has an active Trackstar tracker and Sigma alarm fitted. (Tracker contract is about to run out)

Needs to go, offers welcome but may not be accepted

£1500 no offers viewing any evening or weekends in Brockley South East London

Feel free to ask Rich (FB Tuning) or Neil (Slowboy) about the car they're both familiar with it.

Bump. Happy to answer questions, this is a cracking car that's just had a lot of money spent on it, no clutch worries, no brake worries, no tyre worries, no rust, no engine issues, low miles and a lot of history, it's been very well looked after.

Can post more pics if needed? This car has to go.

Forgot to mention the car also had it's drivers side rocker cover gasket changed by Rich @ FB Tuning last week also...

Really need to shift the car, if you're interested but the price is too high make a cheeky offer, I have to sell the car so you never know if it doesn't go soon I might take it.

Cheers

Car has to go, make me an offer, price dropped to £1500...

Car's not hiding anything, drives beautifully, come and see it.

New clutch & flywheel, brake discs, rocker cover gasket, brake lines, tyres, and oil, air filter, spark plugs, MAF, boost solenoid, ALL NEW

No rust... and a sunroof ready for the summer! Got to be worth close to £2000 just for the parts on it... This is a great car, don't consider the low price and my need to get rid of it any to worry about. I have a new car, and can't afford to run both, that's all.

OK someone save me from putting this on ebay, the lowest I could possibly take for the car and I'm making a huge loss is £1500

I need to get rid of the car next week, I spent over £700 on it a couple of weeks ago (receipt from rich at FB for £450 service), wish I could keep it but I've bought another car.

Silly money Such a nice car, will make someone very very happy.

Hi the car is now on eBay the auction ends on Sunday, with a lower reserve price than stated here. I'm happy to meet half way for a viewing.

There's lots more info on the eBay listing: including details of all the service history which is nearly all from the original Subaru dealer. A very well looked after car.

Anyone any idea why this is getting such little interest? It's got to be hard to find a car this well looked after for so little?

i was after a wagon last week - same year, milage, fsh, standard and it went for £1620 with sniper bids at the end of the auction - i was going to message you but your miles away and now fingers crossed found a car closer to home.

good luck with your sale.

Well if it doesn't work out for you, I'll be up for driving anywhere in the country to personally deliver the car!

Thanks Stevo

I was asking myself that when I was trying to sell my ST200, it was immaculate and such a well sorted car, new wheels, tyres, bushes, arms, machine polished, DVD headunit, DVD players in headrests. I even said I would service it for the new owner.

Problem was there were cheaper ones and buyers were thinking short term so buying cheap cars and forgetting that they'll need hundreds spending on them in the near future! For some reason it seems people would rather buy cheaply and worry about paying to fix faults later!

I did actually give yours serious consideration as I said in my introductory post I was looking for an as close to standard Impreza as possible (that went out the window btw). In the end I found someone who wanted to do a trade as he couldn't afford the insurance.

Worked out well for me in the end but stick to your guns, you have a great car there and its worth far more than your asking, people just need to wise up and realise spending a bit more now will save them in the long run!

Anyway good luck with the sale

PS - If you'd like to give your 4 pot brakes to a much more deserving home I'll gladly take them with thanks and help sell your car with all my might!!
