Hi guys,
I've found an RB5 WR Sport for sale at a Subaru dealer for £13,995. Its got 50,500 miles on the clock.

What do you guys reckon for this price?
Will the car be ok with 50,000 on the clock, or do things start going wrong about now ie. turbo, AFM etc?

Advice please asap guys!!

Thanks very much
Lee

The price is fine from a dealer, although you should be able to barter him down a bit!

Watch out for clutch judder when the car is hot - big giveaway that the car has been abused.
