as of tomorrow Car Planet will have the cheapest 05 year R A on the Planet, check there web, dont know how they do it

 

WTF?

 

^^^^^^ agree I can't see **** all either.

 

Im quite happy having bought my 05 Spec C for 16k a year ago

 

I said as of tomorrow 16 5

 

Why the cryptic post, just tell us?!

 

IS THE jap REG "23-45"

 

are you one of the litchfield mob your number plate looks ab it wonky how much did that type 20 badge cost

 

Believe it or not my No Plate question was a valid one!! i saw this car below on their site, I just wondered if it was the one you were hinting about?? (as you see the No plate reads "23-45") I have always been in the Market for a blue RA-R That's why I asked the question.



I 've known Iain for 8 years I bought one car through him not off him , not sure what that has to do with the price of cheese though I go were I get treated right and I get the best Value for MY money be that PCM, Litchfields or UK Dealer

It can do sometimes as both front and rear plates are on Velcro strips. as all of my car have been

Just the right amount of money, the lowest the seller would except and the Highest i was prepared to go

I take it by your tone, your "In with" Car planet? and bit over your attempt at free advertising?

I cant say I'll ever go to Car Planet now if this is the way they treat possible Customers

I'm with Tony all the way on this one....

 

Perhaps a Vested interest

 

Haha good detective work Tony

Personally i wouldnt go anywhere near car planet but thats just me

 

I beg your pardon thought you were just on the band wagon as most people are until it gets to hot for them,I dont work there I know them very well though ,Ive bought a few evos and fsti foresters off them,just plugging them like everyone else dose for the garages they go.its no biggy if you wouldn't go there to buy a car,you probably wouldn't be happy with the px price anyway if you originally bought in from litchfields,you would loose to much

 

I'd have no problem going to CP, but go in with your eyes open, I know people who have bought foresters there and been very happy, I know people who have bought an FSTi from one of the 'known' more expensive outlets and had a terrible experience....

I agree though, blu scoob seems to be talking them up just a little too much (although that is in 397 posts, so maybe he lives just round teh corner from them and is simply being helpful!), well done Tony, although if we had a search engine for all, more people could have done that!

Tomorrow is here, no RA-R - cheap or otherwise!

LOL As said I bought mine Privately (although Iain helped the owner sell it through his showroom) I went to buy Iains 03 spec C, so Iain lost a sale.

That's OK, But you seemed to have a hang up over litchfeilds like if you were a competitor



For example, prices just a guess if mine at litchfeilds trade in £20k and a thier RA-R valued at £27K if Car planets type RA-R was £20K I'd expect trade in would be £14K for mine.

I have no hang ups about the cost of my Car, I just go by the cost to change.

What's the deal with "For Racing Only!!" does it not have an SVA?

and also why are they advertising a WRX on their site as SUBARU Impreza 2.0 WRX STi?

 

the kid is chinese he no speak good english and the car dosnt have an sva

 

mm, the for racing only is rtehr concerning aint it lol

 

As Blu Scoob says it will have no SVA. Curently it's tricky (although not impossible) for Dealers outside of Litcho's to register post 06 STi's etc (think it's post 06 although not certain) due to them having the only Model Report & not lending it out. Pretty closed market at the mo then

TX.

 

thought you can now buy the model report? sure someone on here said there was another company buying one?

 

Unceratin of whats involved it does say "Race only" i would suspect you'd have to pay for, SVA, A model report hire(IIRC litcho £800), Cat1 alarm etc £2-£3K and then possibly subject to VAT and maybe import duty, so allow £2-£4K

Sorry no expert but at a VERY rough guess i'd allow £4k to £7k on top of purchase price and thats if it can be done People who regularly import cars will have a better Idea of things than me

IIRC IMHO

Looking at £5,000 ontop and a sh#t load of hassel which will take 6 months to get sorted the correct way.

I speak from experience

Immy

 

How much is this cheap RA then?

Clicked CP site and can't even navigate the left menu in ie to all the makes.

 

one on litcho's site

Subaru Impreza Spec C Type-RA (2006), One of only 350 MY06 limited edition cars produced and one of only a few correctly registered in Europe. This is the version that Subaru drove sub 8minutes around the famous Nurburgring. This model h... more details - £24,995 OTR

 

I know there's another white one around for £21k.

Was just interested to hear how much this bargain RA was that keeps getting mentioned.

 

£16-495 there you go.

 

"For racing use only" probably means that a registration document will not be issued until proof has been supplied that the car has been fitted with a roll cage.

These cars have probably been sourced from Prodrive.

They occasionaly get left with stocks of base road cars that have not been turned into rally cars.

Because these cars were origonaly supplied at a very good price by "Subaru Japan" for the exclusive use of racing, Prodrive cannot sell them on as road cars. So they offer them out for sale at a knock down price but will not forward reg docs until they have received photographic & documented proof that a roll cage has been fitted. These cars were never meant to be on the public roads, they were destined for better things!

 

The Spec C type RA is not a base road car though, I thought Prodrive would use the Motorsport Spec C with 16" steel wheels and throw away interior as a base car.

the cars had all its duties paid for ,you cant take it off the docks without paying them they don't have access to a report so they are selling it cheap,if you want a very cheap track or rally car,its as good as your getting,the cars stunning if you want one this car is immaculate in every way,on a good day it would brake for not far off what its for sale for,if you ask it may come cheaper if your in the market its got to be tempting go and see the car you will not fault itp,s,the car dose have a d reg with it
