October 1998, 'S' Reg UK Impreza Turbo 2000 Wagon, Dark Metallic Green.



Full Subaru Service History, all stamped up, every single one done at main dealer. All receipts for all work ever done, and folder of all work done, detailing mileage and dates.

12 Month Subaru Proven Warranty, extended from the 'from new' warranty - covers all electrical, mechanical defects, includes Roadside assist, Homestart etc = Piece of mind till November 2004, that no big bills will hit you in the pocket.

1998 spec with bucket seats, white dials and cup-holder! Momo steering wheel with airbag, and passenger airbag. 4 x Electric windows, and electric mirrors. Adjustable steering wheel height etc.

Full Leather interior, slate. (option from new - £1450).

6 CD Changer (option from new - £400).

I am the 3rd owner. All history is verifiable, and previous owners contactable (I bought it from a Scoobynet user). I also have a full AA HPI report with mileage verification and valuation certificate.

96,000 miles, mostly motorway. 90k service(Big One - all belts, oil, all filters etc) done in May 2003, and I have since had the 97,500 service done at Subaru in June - all fluids, inc. brake, clutch, gearbox and diff. (only had 92,500 miles). Oil and filter changed again in August. I am currently running it on Castrol RS 10w60. No service needed for another 7,500 miles. Always garaged by me, and has been most of it's life.

Extensive folder with all bills, receipts and history, including original purchase receipts, all oil changes detailed with date and mileage, and all Subaru booklets.

New short engine fitted at 46k by Subaru under warranty, due to known piston slap problem (So most of engine only done 50k). New clutch fitted at same time by Subaru. Gearbox just (October 2003) rebuilt by Subaru, at a cost of £1400, under warranty.

Leather interior, slate. (option from new - £1450).

6 CD Changer (option from new - £400).

Original Impreza Mat set

Full MOT, 5 months Tax.

16" Speedline alloys with Goodyear Eagle F1's all round.

Grooved discs up front with Ferodo DS 2500 pads all round.

NGK Iridium plugs, fitted in June, and exclusively run on Optimax. Always warmed up and warmed down properly.

Full Stainless Steel handmade Sti exhaust (de-cat centre-section), and handmade Sti backbox (imported from Japan, extremely rare). Will also include original exhaust and cat in sale. Or will put original system and cat back on, and sell for slightly less.

Cat 1 alarm and dual-immobiliser. Also additional Clifford security systems, anti-hijack etc. (Very secure)

Washed weekly, waxed every month.

Genuine reason for sale.

It's running around 240 Bhp. Drives like new (not only me, but main dealer told me that after last service). All original toolkit, unused spacesaver spare, and slidey boot cover thing present. Never been tracked, oil changed at every recommended interval, and more, from day 1, all documented.

£8250 ovno.

Question

90,000 service is supposed to include brake fliud, fuel filter, antifreeze changes etc (ie 45000 and 60000 service together)not the 97,500 service,which is interim, and why did you change oil in june when it was changed in may?

90k service included all belts - but some dealers don't do fluids apparently, so when I got the car in June I put it in for all fluids, inc. oil, as you cannot change oil too many times (hence the reason I changed it again in August, and will do in the next few weeks again if I don't sell by then).
The history is absolutely faultless, the car is mint, and all oil changes and everything done to car since new are documented.
First to see will buy, and I would welcome any inspection, as I know there is absolutley nothing wrong with the car - unlike most of the sheds you find on autotrader (it took me ages, and over a dozen imprezas before I found this).

Well said,people who are tryin to buy a scooby dont realise that all the cheap ones out there are cheap for a reason.People either want a mint one and pay the money or buy a jap spec with no history thats had hits than the beatles on the bodywork.Before makin comment on prices people should get out there and see whats available instead of lookin at pics,anyway rant over and a free btt,good luck

Cheers mate. Like I say, open to any inspection, the car is next to faultless, apart from a few stone chips - but hey, what scooby hasn't?

Thanks fella,s.Quite proud of myself now!! ha ha!!That is the facts tho!!All these imports with cheesy wheels and windows,big holes in the dash,no abs,no history etc etc are pricing the scooby down.I suppose its which end of the market you wanna buy at,whistles and bells or good car end.There will be someone for this car im sure.Just keep tryin mate,its really hard to sell on here anyway,Mainly anorak statto's[who tell ya that ya car aint worth a carrot,coz green is unlucky or ya tyres are too round!!!!] or mega genuine people[who already have there cars sorted].Not many in between.Guess im gonna get slated for that comment!! Ce la vie!
Good luck again.

Cheers
It's on the autotrader site, and in the mag friday, and already had some enquiries.
When I was looking it took me ages to find this one, and those in the market, if they know what they are looking for, will find out the same - a lot of imprezas are dogs.
This is pretty faultless, bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing too - less nickable than a blue 4 door maybe
I think the warranty will sell it though - it covers all engine/electrical/mechanical failures, so pretty much makes it a safe buy - just need someone to come and view it, and if they want a proper scooby it's sold.

Hi Dave.
Selling it as I want to clear some debts, and get in the black before the baby (due in March)
May get another scoob, not sure yet, just want to sell this and possibly the 106 Gti, and see how finances stand - some things are more important (apparently )
Good luck with the sale of yours - I am sure it'll go quickly, as it is indeed a minter - I can vouch for that.
Stu

It's in the trader tomorrow, so probably get the legion of tyrekickers and boy-racers on the phone - hopefully though there will be the odd knowledgeable and genuine one.
I'll let you know - autotrader is usually best place to sell - i'll let you know if it is.
