Default 2005 Blob WRX 60,000 miles - bottom end fault £3200

Hi,

Got this car from auction and it has an engine fault which I believe is the bottom end. It has a bit of history with it but, judging by the cars good condition (minus the fault), it may well just have been lost. It has MOT until August, Tax until August and the cambelt was changed at 42,000 miles. There's some MOT history and warranty invoice etc.






The car is located in Sheffield PM me if you want more details

Cheers
Craig

Thats almost perfect running saloon money your asking for craig. You can buy bug sti's for 4k.

Plus its a wagon so cheaper anyway. It's worth about £1800 with a new block needed mate.

Hi Mate,

Already been offered £2500 by one person and £2400 by another if it doesn't sell online.

Thanks for the response though.

Thanks for the info guys - much appreciated.

I'll hang on a bit and see what happens - if not will fall back on the offers I currently have.

Cheers

One of the traders on here has a complete working WRX engine for sale at £400 delivered, chuck that in and much easier to sell it as a runner !

Hi Mate,

Was it a recent post? You haven't got their name have you?

Post is on page one of car parts for sale (authorised traders) ?

I have made an offer myself for my 2002 WRX but not had a reply yet !

Plenty of second hand running engines out there for sensible money, a fully rebuilt engine will cost as much as the cars current value !
