I am selling my MY03 Impreza STi Type UK (52 Reg, Jan 03). The car has done 45,000 mainly motorway miles, never seen a track day etc.. and comes with a full Subaru service history (last one was at 41000 miles). It includes the following extras ... TSL 333 upgrade click here for details (fitted at 19000 miles), unmarked Prodrive PFF7 18" alloy wheels, Prodrive suspension kit and STi strut brace, the car also had a four wheel laser alignment carried out by TSL when it had the upgrade fitted (recepts for all the extras are included). The car is in blue and looks a million dollars but so you know exactly what you're coming to view, I'm going to be very honest and critical and say that it does have a few small flaws which are... some stone chips due to the motorway mileage, three very tiny car park dinks on the passenger side (not chipped the paint), a scrape on the o/s corner of the rear bumper, drivers seat has very light wear (no holes or rips, car has never been smoked in and has no holes etc..) and the plastic drivers arm rest has a scuff.

The car has had one previous owner from new and I bought it on the 24th September this year to use for a holiday to Scotland (which we just got back from). I love the car and the performance is simply amazing, the TSL 333 kit means that it pulls from very low down and produces it's peak power (333bhp & 333lb/ft torque) at 6100rpm, so it gets to 100mph very quickly and without the need to be hard on the car. The car hasn't had a hard life, both myself and the previous owner are in our late thirties and I bought the car for it's agility on the roads of the Scottish Highlands where it was stunning. On the motorway it never saw over 100mph, I spoke with TSL before I left and they said that it would love it at 80-90mph which is what we did and the car sat there at 3500rpm all the way to Stirling. North of Stirling it came into its own and was honestly the best car I've ever driven, it covers the ground so quickly and effortlessly that you can't stop smiling. I would love to keep the car but it just wants to be let off the leash all the time and for that reason the sensible side of me says it's got to go, if it doesn't I'll end up with more points on the license.

The car is located in Lancashire and you can call me on 01254 832991 if you would like to view it. It's priced to sell at just £14100 ovno.

I've never driven an STi with PPP so I can't compare them but the 333 is very smooth and easy to keep buzzing without having to be hard on the car, looking at the characteristics of the PPP I would think it would need to be driven harder. The most impressive thing for me is the torque it gives, the thing just pulls and pulls.

It's still here, forum member cw42 has been to look at the car today and if anyone is interested he said he'd be happy to let you know what the car is like.

Yeah, thanks for the drive today 365, and I can vouch for the excellent condition of this car.
Just wish I could sort out the finance to get the bloody thing
Hope to see you soon,
Chris.

bttt ... I've had two PM's now asking me why the car is so cheap and one from someone saying that it's only worth £13000!! What do people think, too cheap or too expensive?

it is only worth what you can get for it..buyers market if i was in your situation i would hang on to it as think about how much money you have spent on it and whether you can afford to lose that

There's no panic, I don't need to sell, in fact I've only advertised it on this forum (which no offence, is a pretty pessimistic place) so I've still got Autotrader etc.. If someone see's the car and has the money they'll buy it, especially at the price, there's nearly £5k of TSL invoices with it and it's having a rear strut and top mount and a couple of other jobs done next week. When I get it back I'll try it in Autotrader.

Sold!

Thanks Chris! It'd be impossible not to have fun in that car, it's a real piece of kit but too quick for a road car, especially for someone like me who for some reason seemed to lose all self control when I drove it That plus too many cameras and thieving b*stards.

Good luck with the car Steve, I must admit to wondering if I'd done the right thing as I watched it drive away last night but c'est la vie
