Come across this on E bay, A cashmere yellow Type RA with 11.5k miles on the clock!!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...item1a01ee5595

Didnt think they made them in this colour(engine bay looks same colour), and 11.5k miles, the bodywork looks like its done 100k miles, looks a strange car anyone got any history or know anything about it??

 

Bloody tatty for a 11K car... scrapes, dents etc. Spoiler looks a different colour to the rest of the car. Hmmmmm, who knows?

 

Maybe 100k miles fell off it when it come from Japan!! Im thinking its a Version 6 WRX with the sideskirts took off it, But then again a V6 wrx didnt come with DCCD.

 

agree very tatty for 11k

 

Yer I noticed this the other day.

Rare car in the colour, which I believe suffers from paint fade.

Regardless its still tatty looking for the claimed mileage.

Poor advert tbh with sod all info/pics

 

Speedo states 18510 is this KM then ?

Edit - just read description lol. Seats look like they haven't done many miles hard to say if mileage is real though

 

Km on the speedo, works out 11,500 miles

 

Yeah ha sorry slow moment

 

 

I guess if it's been on the street the scrapes etc. could just come from general wear and tear as the interior does indeed look okay. The colour is a weird anomaly though although and maybe I'm showing my ignorance here as I have forgotten a lot about Imprezas, but what makes it an RA over an STI?

The reason is I know they did STI 6 cars in that colour as I knew someone who had one in Aus.

 

I had a yellow ver6 also,Maybe the DCCD,IC spray,roof vent,make it a RA but im no expert.

 

It previously sold for £6590 but suddenly reappears.

It may not be as good as it looks, you can polish a turd but inside it's still a turd. The engine bay pics are pretty telling (IC and Radiator rust)compared to other high price, good quality Classics that have been for sale recently. The rear bumper is also showing some heavy wear and tear as well.

This was discussed on the Type-RA website some time ago and was found wanting.

If you look at the 3rd picture(side view of car) thats a lot of overspray/paint underneath where the sideskirts would be!!

 

You looking for another mate? Hows things? Its si by the way lol

 

How do Si You still got the Bugeye???

Had my Golf R stolen a few months back, So not sure whats next, If I was to go Impreza again, I dont want anything to expensive(£10k max), But would love a MK2 Focus RS but I keep seeing them getting stolen a lot round here, so dont think it would be the best idea.

 

No mate sold it last year as mrs couldnt insure. Was running 336bhp in the end. Had a civic type r for abit. Great fun but got bored. Then had cupra r that was mental but had no confidence in it cause it couldnt put power down and would have change a sensor or coilpack on a weekly basis. Got a tidy blobeye now nothin special but mrs loves it and strap the kids in lol

 

Matty said you had golf stolen. You dont seem have much luck with cars outside yours. Scum of the earth mate.

 

Havent been to Mattys for ages, trouble is if I go down there, I start getting Subaru idea's

 

Looks an RA as it has the rear 2 pot calipers too

 

Don't think that's overspray,and I doubt it had side skirts being a RA.

 

I was trying to say where the overspray/paint was, I know RA's have no sideskirts, I was just curious to why so much paint was in that region.

 

Its not overspray it should be yellow, looks like it's been chipped off.

 

Way overpriced even if it is low mileage .......

 

Looks like the stonechip is peeling off and the yellow you can see is the sills

 

Interesting comment. How many Cashmere Yellow V6 STi Type RAs have you seen for sale in the last 10 years to decide it's "overpriced"?

 

It depends if it's full of dents or not ......

 

OK. I'll ask again
How many Cashmere Yellow V6 STi Type RAs (full of dents or dent free) have you seen for sale in the last 10 years to decide it's "overpriced"?

 

You can ask till the ****ing cows come home,it's overpriced imo ..

 

Overpriced compared to what?
