Very Annoyed
Hi All
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...reza?logcode=p
Been looking for another scooby and found the above last saturday. Contacted them and they advised it has already been purched by another trader and behold the below. I find this so unfair and extremely annoyed as I really wanted this car. Now it will be sitting around with these clowns for god knows how long.
Look at the price mark up : (

Its been said countless times, if you see one, day off work and go straight away, its getting impossible with all these 'companies' around - they have email alerts set up for every new impreza listed on the trader, ebay , etc If its a good'un they are on the phone 8am giving deposits without seeing it.
But think of it like this, at least you can now forget about buying a poverty spec UK car and concentrate on a search for a JDM STI

The wifes been on the look out for a clean low mileage widetrack or JDM for a good while now, but ive told her it aint gonna happen. 95% of them are at dealers, and nearly all at the ones to avoid.
Add to the fact we cant just drop everything at the drop of a hat and go traveling hundreds of miles to often be disappointed. So ive told her to start considering other cars. Shame but what can you do?

Blob STi widetracks aren't that rare though. A quick trawl reveals the following - perhaps one of these might fit the bill?

In addition there are five cars currently listed on AT with dealers (not including Cheshire or Clive) for £9,750 (x2) £9,790, £9,995 and £10k.
There are also a couple of cars being advertised in the Facebook groups.

Fair enough - there are advantages to working in front of an internet-connected screen every day

I am in the same boat as you, ive been looking for a widetrack for around 6 months now, but im ridiculously fussy. They are so rare to come up for sale, and when they so they are either not in great condition or the dodgy dealers just snap them up and bang an extra £2k on them, its a joke.
And also i have a family and a 60hr/week job so its not easy to just drop everything and do a long road trip to go see one that could easily turn out to be no good.
If only everyone could boycott these cheshire performance type places!
And those links to the other ones for sale, none are in the sought after colour of blue. Can normally get hold of them at a reasonable price and fairly easy if you want a silver or black one.

Black is the best colour IMO, blue ones are like dog **** in the local park, only reason I have a blue Type R is there weren't any other colours for sale when I was looking 9yrs ago, really wanted one in the dark grey colour but couldn't find one for love nor money, when I do finally rebuild it I'll be changing the colour too.

Black is definitely the best colour for a blobeye
Not just saying that because I have one, I had a silver one from new in 05 and wished very soon after I had gone for the black.
Never heard WRC blue described as "sought after" in regards to colour its the common one!!
When I was looking last year I wanted a white or black widetrack blob (Nice easy search) could of brought a blue one 10 times quicker (Even filtering out the bad ones)
but stuck to my guns and held out for a good black one.

I agree, black looks like a proper street car colour on the sti. I spent ages looking for a black one but eneded up buying a blue one in the end which didnt look too bad. Black, Blue and White are the decent colours imo.

I have nothing against the blue ones at all and agree it suits the car, I just wanted something a little less common and white was as rare as rocking horse poo so black was the colour of choice

Whilst i love black, I also hate black for one reason only. Of all the colours it's the hardest to keep clean by far, i've had a few white cars and none of them looked too bad when a bit grimy, black though, 20 minutes after washing it and it sparkling it looked dirty again.
I agree, it looks great, for the 36 seconds between finishing washing it and driving it away.
Summer isn't too bad with a black car, anything else, nightmare to keep it looking nice.

Black is the worst colour to show paint defects, ie swirls scratches and hazing. Even worse when the sun is out. Looks a right dog. Unless your cars been detailed, and you can maintain the cars finish with correct wash technique.

I got lucky when buying mine, put a thread on on SNET with the usual "I'm thinking of buying a Scooby..." questions and somebody PM'd me and asked if I wanted theirs, which wasn't even listed at that point.
I'd looked at a few overpriced pigs - and this one was perfect AND cheaper.

I wasnt saying blue is the best colour, its a matter of opinion everyone has their preference.
All i was saying is in my hunt for a widetrack, anything in blue is snapped up immediately or well overpriced, whereas blacks and silvers seem to stay for sale for a while and also seem to be going for around £8000, which is cheaper than any blue ones that come up for sale. And thats not opinion thats fact!
Blacks do look nice, but my personal choice is blue, i love the pearl shine it gives.
Bare in mind im only taking about widetracks here, non widetracks there are plently of blue examples for sale and yes they are very common.

Blue would be the last colour I'd choose, Red is my favourite colour then white but as you say it's a personal thing. Are you sure the blue Subaru hold there money better?
