Default Impreza P1 #488, 40k miles, 12 Months Tax & MOT

***SOLD***

Hi Guys and Gals,

The time has come to sell up, it's been a good 5 years having her but I've just got myself a mortgage.

It's one of the cleanest I've ever seen and I'm always complimented on it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

• 40,484 miles
• 12 Months MOT & Tax (both run out of 31st Jan 2015, no advisories!)
• Cambelt and Tensioner changed at 33,870 miles (6,614 miles ago).
• RAC Trackstar Tracker fitted.
• Never used in the winter and always run on Shell V-Power.
• Has always been stored in a dry garage.
• Factory fitted optional extra 330mm Brake Discs.
• Mintex 1155 Brake pads fitted just 3000miles ago.
• Toyo TR1s Tyres all around (symmetrical tyres) only 3000miles old (worth £400+)
• New battery fitted Feb 2014 with 3 year warranty.
• Unmolested, only exhaust is non-standard + K&N Panel filter (in original air filter box).
• 2 sets of original keys and fobs.
• Optional extra factory fitted Hella Gas Discharge 90mm Driving Lamps.
• Original front lamp covers with P1 logos (for winter) and the original convertors (for summer).
• Pioneer Bluetooth CD/AUX (e.g iPod) Head Unit.
• Original Prodrive P1 radio cover.
• Genuine Subaru MAF sensor fitted in 2010.
• Genuine Prodrive Anti-Theft Dust Caps.
• All original Prodrive mats (including boot).
• Original P1 17” alloy wheels in good condition.
• NO stone chips on the front what so ever, front splitter is also clean and "unscraped" underneath!
• 100% rust free!
• I have all of the old receipts and MOTs in a folder. I also have the original Subaru leather documents wallet.

Bad Points
• Center console interior has some light scratches around the gear ****.
• Carbon fibre strip on the rear spoiler has some very slight chipping on the corner.
• Slight ding in driver’s door (only noticeable in direct sunlight from a certain angle, too difficult to photograph).
• Slight chipping to rear bumper which has been touched up (too difficult to photograph and hardly noticeable).

Mileage History
• 01/02/2014: 40442
• 29/05/2012: 38883
• 27/11/2010: 36734
• 03/11/2009: 31106

Service History
• 23/03/2001: 1505 Miles – Subaru Lancaster, Pangbourne
• 11/11/2004: 8400 Miles – Subaru Ashburton Motor Works, Devon
• 26/04/2005: 9439 Miles – Ford Woodford Garage, Totnes
• 23/04/2004: 14490 Miles – Subaru Walldonway Ltd, Larkfield
• 31/03/2008: 21803 Miles – Subaru Walldonway Ltd, Larkfield
• 05/09/2009: 29179 Miles – Subaru Costswold Subaru, Witney

It's priced just right.

How many p1's will you find nowadays with 40k and in that condition.

No the P1 does not have DCCD. It has a better suspension set up for the UK roads. Power is the same. Also has a longer box so better on fuel too.

It had 19k on the clock, I heard it went into a collection. I haven't seen a 22B for less than 25k. The latest one I came across was 35K!

Why do people do this, if you're not interested in buying it or don't have anything useful to say, don't post. Had exactly the same type of comments when I was selling my low mileage classic and that was only up for £2.5k.

It's a lovely car and someone looking for a mint P1 with low mileage will pay the money. GLWTS mate, I'm sure it will sell, may just take a bit of time, I take it you've got it up on P1WOC as well, it's the first place I'd look if I was in the market for a nice P1.

It seems that everyone is an expert when it comes to pricing which obviously they are not. At the end of the day the car is worth what somebody is willing to pay and what the owner is wiling to let it go for. Someones £5000 Scooby could be another persons £10000 dream car it's just the way it goes. I do agree with the unhelpful and negative comments being posted when somebody is trying to sell a car, like you said if you're not interested in buying it why comment? (I do appreciate the irony of me posting a comment about a car I have no intention of buying (would love it though!) but you get my point!)

Very nice car, perfect example, low miles, you deserve every penny.
However, Personally, I'd remove all the non original stickers.
Good luck with the sale.

Now sold! I can confirm the buyer is very pleased, had a huge smile on his face driving it away!

Will miss it a lot. Thanks to everyone on this forum that's helped me over the years.

Cheers,
Michael
