Default 2005 blobeye wrx- low mileage

Testing the water :

2005 wrx - world rally blue, genuine 33k with full service history and every receipt from new. long mot and tax. full genuine sti body kit / high level rear spoiler, sti bonnet scoop ( receipt for £1065 - gulp ??!! ) 18" gold Ultralite 811 G GRID alloys, new tyres all round, Eibach lowered suspension. stunning looking car with an A4 folder full and I mean full off every receipt spent on car and that includes all Petrol receipts - all mot certificates since first aquired. v/power bought by myself. standard spec engine apart from k+n panel filter, Forge dump valve ( very quiet ) engine dress up kit - samco. cat back Blitz nur spec exhaust with baffle with receipts. carbon interior parts. rear tints. hid lighting, original cd unit. list is endless- thousands spent again with all receipts from new kept within an A4 folder.

very genuine car which took me ages to find in this condition, recent " Total Impreza " magazine - Nov/dec 2011 edition feature.

very much admired car and genuine reason for sale.

£6500


********

Eibach-pro spring kit
zero sports carbon front grill
All servicing carried out from new by the excellent Revolution motorsport in Newcastle with all receipts to prove...£££`s worth !!!
Forge dump valve
blue annodiesed wheel nuts
carbon A pillars - supplied by paul at Zero limits carbon ( thanks again mate, superb quality )
flocked centre compartment lid ( TingTong - again superb work )
Premium mudflaps x4 - blue with Prodrive logo supplied by Scoobyworld at a price off £99.00
Reversing sensors fitted in rear bumper ( see first pic )- professionally colour coded.

list is endless ...!!

front seats covers always fitted by myself.
ashtray unused from new- never smoked in.

euro import model- lighter body panels.

Slight knock from rear passenger side spring upon cornering ( the usual newage trate !! ) apart from this can 100% say the car is perfect and would have no hesitation in selling it to a fellow scoobynetter.

would think the first genuine person to view would buy outright.

If anyone wants to view and make a sensible offer then please do get in touch, already had a few time waters / photo collectors !!

also if the plate itself is not required can adjust the price accordingly.

No mate I still have it and I'm fed up with people on eBay offering me a £500 fiesta and a half eaten packet of peanuts for it!
And might be up for a road trip!
And I will reply to your pm.

Okay no probs mate going to have to leave it regards an exchange for your vxr, lovely cars but to be perfectly honest be warned against them purely for the fact that a lot off them end up costing the owner loads in large repair bills , this advice was given by astra vxr owners themselves !! pity as I think your car looks great with an excellent spec.

but yep if you sell it please do have a trip up for a viewing, dont think you will be dissapointed !!

Okay pre ebay listing BTTT

again in my personal view the first serious viewer will buy this car, yep its slightly more expensive than some others but very low mileage, genuine full service history with every receipt from new and has the addition off some lovely additional extras fitted.

save me the ebay hassle- £5900 without plate.

Good luck getting shot of it on ebay...or should i say flea bay as you'll be lucly to get half of the £5900 asking price. I have owned a FSH prodrive 55 plate Blob (WRX) and i got it six months ago (the worst time to buy a car) for just a shade over £5k. As nice as your motor is (and you've done a great job) you may be struggling to break the £5k - £5.5k in my eyes.

Why don't you give Lichfields a call and see if they will sell it for you? My mate has just done that with his two year old GTR, they list it on their site and pistonheads. Good luck pal, Shaun

No probs mate appreciatte what you are saying but would deffinattly keep it rather than let it go for 5k, what mileage was on your 55 plate ?? you say 5.5k max, again I know I am asking at the upper level for a wrx blob but I feel sure that a genuine buyer will not mind paying just £500 extra for a lower mileage fsh model .. I know I would !!

p.s Up here in Fife, scotland so the Lichfields idea is not an option, to be perfectly honest just fancy a change but if it does not sell will be getting a remap within the next few months and enjoy the car even more !!

again appreciatte your input.

thats complete waffle tbh mate, 3 of my mates have vxr astras and they've had no trouble with them, they're good cars if looked after and serviced as they should be. They're fast, look good, sound good and drive very comfortably even on 19" alloys.

The only fault i know of with the vxr's is the tappets collapsing.

Other than that they're very good motors.

Okay no probs not really looking for a discussion on Astra vxr`s mate !! regards your quote "thats complete waffle tbh mate " I am only going what I have read on here , read on vxronline and a few other vauxhall related forums from vxr owners where a lot off owners have freely admitted the gearbox on the astra vxr amongst other things is a major weakness off this model but am aware that all cars have there probs including the impreza which did not put me off buying one I might add !! regards the 19" alloys being a comfortable ride thats exactly what I kept reading that was not recommended other than just for looks and that 18" were much better !! anyway again appreciatte your advice but would appreciatte if this for sale thread did not just turn into a large discussion !!

Have you put it on other enthusiast sites? Most people here probably own a scooby so are not looking but owners of other marques may be looking to change / upgrade.

To be honest mate I think the market is just so bad just now it boils down to pure luck when selling a scooby, for what they sell for there is actually very little you can buy in comparison.

will see how I get on with the ebay classifieds
