I've just found this on the Trader and was wondering what you guys on here think.The mileage is high (160k) but comes complete with a full Subaru service history. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi.../rb5?logcode=p

It should have at least 22 Stamps in the Service Book ...... not only 14!

And it is very expensive for 160,000 miles

Thanks for the fast replies!I was heading up there with the cash until I found out the mileage!I think the head is going to have to rule the heart on this one there some really good standard Turbo models out there for that sort of money!

if you are after a RB5 give david a call at API, he has one for sale that has recently had a rebuild carried out by them so you know it will go for ever.

Thanks Steve, its linked on here under " cars for sale - Trade."

PS it is a good, genuine car and I have enjoyed every mile l have done in it since it got traded in. I now have a high opinion of how good an RB5 is.

The new age does appeal due to it being bigger inside.I've driven a classic before but not new age so I guess its time to go test driving!
