Least you can knock him down price wise if it's what you want when you view it and drive it, he ain't saying 14k firm, he's willing to negotiate over price so he has some wiggle room

Also the 7 owners bit isn't necessarily anything to worry about, yeah it sounds a lot in 16 odd years but there's probably 2 kinds of Subaru owners, those who buy one and keep it in their ownership for years and years and those who have that Subaru itch they need to scratch so buy one and have it for a year or 2 then realize it ain't for them, whether it be there grown out of itnot practical to run as a daily or just can't afford the upkeep and to run them

My Bugeye had a Japspeed on it when I bought it. You could definitely hear it before you saw it. Far too loud for my liking so I bought a Prodrive (well actually a Pro R but they're almost identical) to replace it. Haven't heard the new exhaust yet as the car is still in pieces but I hope it's a lot quieter than the obnoxious Japspeed.

Did I see you aren't wanting to travel ? And definitely a UK Blobeye rather than JDM ?
This is in Northern Ireland and JDM but fresh.

Good luck then heybut I'd take it somewhere well lit coz you can't really see a car properly in the dark, yeah it does look nice and clean in the pics but might be different when you see it close up in the flesh so to speak.
