hi guys just joined up as im looking at buying a impreza. been looking at thishttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221165686456?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1438.l2649 would it be worth a look at or would you steer clear thanks in advance

 

Sounds ok for a car with a fully forged engine, bits are all ok from the description and looks like plenty of history, worth a look

Starting bid of £5k is a bit optimistic to say the least, because it's still a wrx.

You could buy the real thing or an STI for that sort of money.

No mention of a 6 speed gear box.

No mention what brakes or suspension and handling mods have been done, standard wrx items not up to the job of stopping and controlling 336bhp.

I'd get a proper list of the mods and get an insurance quote too

 

hi yeah hes changed the price for some reason maybe hes on this forum
and does nt like the fact ive put it up but any way i would nt pay 5k ive looked at a lot of them and like you say i could get a sti for that kind of money thanks

 

Yeah it was 3k when it was on last night, that seemed like a good deal to me

 

wow for 5K it is a lot, ill be willing to sell you mine for that (bug, 381bhp)

but look good

 

Surely its cheaper to insure a fast one out of the box than a slow one made fast

 

yeah i would think so, listing all the mods to reach a spec of an sti it would be cheaper to insure an sti

 

yeah ive emailed him see wot his reply is might have sold it maybe wy hes put the price up to 5k sadly thats out my budget lol or i would be looking at a sti. insurance is nt really a problem for me so no worries there guys

 

ive just bought my genuine uk 300 with a lot of mods etc ( all receipted) for 4500...

the 1 in yr add seems a bit pricey???

 

Gripper welcome to the site but please NO TEXT TYPE so annoying and a big no no..

 

thanks for the welcome bud but were in any of my posts have i writen txt lingo lol.
i cant stand it my self so i dont do it

 

Does your caps button work?

 

stainless steel crank?

 

guys am i missing some thing here are you talking about my punctuation here because thats nothing to do with txt writing?

 

Maybe it was my post that was so offending

 

It's not so much you as the car when it comes to modded scoobs, they tend to cost significantly more than a standard one running similar power, ie wrx running 300 as opposed to an sti running 300, insurance companies don't like mods and charge accordingly.

You could wind up paying £1500 instead of £500 big difference,when that cash could be used on buying a better car.

 

There.... Just saying

 

That is a fair bit of money for a WRX, which is what it is really. You're paying more because of the work done to make it a replica UK300. The advert is not the best either, and having a picture of the car with a flat tyre would not get my vote mate. Just my opinion pal. And apologies if the owner is on here....

 

Not bad but not worth 5K , But why only 336 on a 400bhp turbo?

 

After a retread I think you do what I do.. Type so quick it doesn't register some letters.. My bad

 

yes pal thats wot it must be, so if i've offended any one with my bad grammer i do apologize

 

thanks for all the input guys, but the lad that has this for sale is off shore working so he can't be here to sell the car thats wy he has put the price so high

 

WHAT, not wot, please........

In that photo, was I the only one to notice that the front o/s tyre was flat? If he's run it far like that, that's a new tyre straight away. £100 off the price

Also, all that work, no mention of a remap? Or who did it?

 

i dont know WOT your talking about

 

Offshore working usually means it's a scam.....beware

 

im going to leave it, thanks for the advice

 

Think at 3k it was worth a look, at 5k its walk away time like your doing

 

thats exactly what i was going to put....you beat me to it
