Nipped out for a 130 mile journey and got this....
It was a bit of a trek to Bristol and back (over 250 mile round trip) but dead chuffed with the deal done on this car!
Nearly 4 years old with high mileage, but it was half the price of some of the cars on offer at Subaru dealers!!
After owning three Imprezas, I always vowed I would not have another! But I guess the Forester doesn't count, but it's perfect as the family car it needs to be!

Private, Y-reg with 99k on the clock, but a complete Subaru history (checked with dealer) including two cambelt changes on time. Scary mileage, but only £6.6k!! 
It's an automatic, so there is no way the engine or drivetrain will be have been stressed as much as a manual car!

PPS - Must repeat my "must not modify" mantra some more!!!

So what happened to your old wheels and when are you fitting the Prodrive brake kit?
You may have a buyer for the wheels and the Godspeed brake kit......

I vowed never to have another Impreza! Insurance, the high profile and every idiot wanting to race you, I could not have another
, especially as I'm now married with a baby due in April! That said it was a hard choice between a Legacy TT or a Forester, but as it was only to be the family workhorse (rather than a fast/show car) insurance was the deciding factor.
UK Forester - £400
UK Impreza - £700
JDM Forester - £700
JDM Legacy TT - £800
The bonus is that it makes the perfect family car, as in the States, it has a 5 star NCAP crash rating.
