Found this on Autotrader. Get in there quick folks .. there aren't many of those 1600cc STi Type-Rs around! Especially not these switchable 2wd/4wd ones that can return up to 40mpg and offer Group 10 insurance ...

And I thought the bottom had dropped out of the used Impreza market?

Hehe.

And the person trying to sell is on what planet?! Jebus!!! Wonder what the soft git paid in the first place!

Well just read the rest of the thread...... DOH! That'll teach me to just read the first couple of replies!!

Hawkeye, I think the word you are searching for is 'original'

Why do people insist on charging the earth for (flame suit on) an ugly old model.

WTF ?
Andyp

 

I'd rather have 2 x 22b's at 20mpg

Ian

 

is it 7995???

 

Well .. it does actually say £79,995 .. but combined with the other 'odd' things in the ad. I'd reckon that they made a mistake with the price!

£17,995 would be my guess ...

 

No, £795.00!

 

looks nice motor tho

 

If you're gonna pay 80 grand for a motor would you really be bothered about it doing 40 to the gallon???

 

Group 10 insurance !!!!! Bargain, why the **** is mine group 20 then .

Tony.

 

That's just plain dangerous. I mean. How is the air going to stay in with only 90% tyres????

 

Hawkeye, suppose your comments will now apply to the bugeye, it now being the 'old' model.

 

Anybody called the number yet?

Ian

 

wouldn't bother ian it's probably wrong aswell

 

Rasher,

Sorry m8 should have put old, old model in my post

cheers

Unfortunately when you put your ad in Autotrader you put your reg in and their 'database' (for want of a better word) decides what car you have. You cannot edit it. Hence my 205GTi being called a "special", even though there was nothing particularly special about it. My sympathies to the vendor.

PS. If you want to find out what make of car is carrying a particular plate, just start down the 'place an advert" route, put in the appropriate reg, and all will be revealed (give or take the problems described in my first paragraph above).

 

phoned the guy,

it is 7995. a 1.6!

 

Notice it doesn't say 'Turbo'? It's a bloody replica, quite obviously!

 

Having had a similar experience with the Trader as Speedking, he probably placed the add as describing it as a look-a-like, then the bright sparks decide which words to conveniently remove, so "Copy of Full Type R Spec" becomes "Full Type R Spec", or in my case "Full cloth sun roof" became "e/s/r", "Original Alpina Alloys" became "alloys" etc etc etc.

Cheers,

Deano

 

oooooooooppppppppsssssss!!!!!!

 

but how does it corner

 

Its a 3 door though isn't it? Did they do non turbo 3 doors??

Andy

 

yep! very rare to find though.

 

what is this worth then???

 

about £7995 to a 19 year old wanting the scooby look with group 10 ins!
