Subaru Impreza WRX STi VER 6 280 BHP on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 23-Jul-08 09:35:31 BST)

Looks very nice IMO. Keen price too.

Hopefully the discs are new and haven't been treated to a coat of hammerite

the discs look brand new , It looks like the zinc plating hasn't worn off , they would clean off straight away when used.

Boy in work is interested in this car, it's not far from me so may pop over for a look tomorrow.

TurboDean - did you or your mate go to look at the car?

stigaz - could be damage but also could be for the fog light. I've seen a few imports with UK lights for the fog light.

I've mailed the chap anyway so we'll see.

Went to have a look yesterday, it's a Version 5 and it has been in the UK since it was almost new, think it has the UK rear to get it through the SVA as there is know other rear fog on it, doesn't look like it has rear damage (but i'm no expert)

Look quite a nice clean car for the age/milage and price, couple of stone chips on the front, only thing i didn't like was the inlet manifold has been painted gold and the paniting is bubbling.

Thanks mate.

I thought the was the reason for the rears. I noticed the inlet too from the pics.

Chap hasn't mailed me back so will have another go. Just seems a good price and my money is burning a hole in my pocket I really want a WRC Type R (The one with the roof vent and blue seats) but they are like hens teeth to find in good shape.
