Default ** WANTED ** Subaru Type-R

Hi guys, looking to buy another Impreza ideally a Type R but will consider looking at any descent spec (Classics Only)

May also consider a rolling Type R shell ideally with at least a 6 speed box in it and some descent suspension??

Budget is realistic but please dont offer me over priced cars I know costs involved in buying/Building these cars!!

Thank you

There's a nice standard white type r on one of the Facebook pages for 6500 but it's on the Isle of white I think....

I think it may have been removed from one of the selling groups - another person posted up that the seller is a scammer (with proof that he was taking the seller through the small claims court) so be careful......

Hi guys thanks for the replies, haven't really looked into importing one this time no, looked into it not long ago and with what prices are doing atm not much of a saving to be had all though importing would mean you could hand pick a mint example.

Yep seen the white one on FB guys does look a clean car, as for him being a scammer must have missed that post, how ever its always a put of viewing a listing with one picture and lack of description regardless of how cheap it may seem

Seems to be yes, he's just given details on the Facebook post stating that he is indeed going through small claims after he sold an engine and then the buyer wanted his money back 12 months later......

Says the car is genuine in the add though.....I'm not looking for a car so don't really know why I'm typing this .......
