The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[imprezaworks]

Prob advertised elsewhere too

 

[Herr Flick]

To be fair at that price I'm not surprised it has sold so soon, there could be as much as 3k profit in that car.

Really, I get it's cheap but an import with no history can't be worth £8k.

 

[imprezaworks]

Was there history in this country? Im guessing whoever bought it wasnt too concerned with the history when it was abroad. On face value, cheap too.

6 years ago today we lost McRae http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhuhqKji8Nk

:dapprove:

I remember it all too clearly. I remember seeing the news, when they weren't sure it was him, and then it was confirmed and my heart sank.

Also the day after, Dave Richards was in a helicopter crash too. f**king terrible coincidence, fortunately he was unhurt. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/6997784.stm

same here, i was 14 at the time on my way home from west wales and heard it announced on the radio. Was never a dull moment with him behind the wheel

 

[yeecup]

Looks nice apart from the wheels which are hideous http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...green-with-prodrive-performance-pack/1707309#

40?! I was expecting you guys to be mid 20s, lol.

 

[coleman]

Wouldn't be surprised if a breaker snapped it up, I'm sure the DCCD boxes sell for 2k secondhand.

Wish they had made this... All the good bits of a scooby with the handling of an Evo or better

Its the one car I'd absolutely love to drive over most super cars!

 

[DaveDreads]

Can't even begin to imagine what the retail would have been on one of those,
probably more than any of us could afford pal.

Apart from DK and Munson obviously, but that goes without saying.

Nice car, low miles and the fact they have owned it for 9 years.

Oh and its near to me which isnt a good thing....lol

 

[Mr R.]

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...eza-turbo-2000-awd--------------2001/1522967#


Hmmmm, needs gold Speedline wheels.

 

[Mr R.]

Oh so much want, it would be the misses car.

[imprezaworks]

Seen both of those, the wagon looks superb

 

[Herr Flick]

Thought wagons were only WRX's??

 

[coleman]

Thought wagons were only WRX's??

Dont know about new age but they did make STi wagons in classic guise.

 

[DaveDreads]

Thought wagons were only WRX's??

They did a few STi wagons but they're JDM imports.

Here's the one I told you about that I couldn't find the other day,
just wish I had £2,500.

[jay70]

The last STI wagon was the Bugeye(JDM only) it had all the toys that the saloon had apart from Brembos.....which is bizarre really...

 

[imprezaworks]

Just been offered this.

99 uk classic in mica blue with ppp, 58k with service history and two owners. Supposed to be in great condition, he wants around £2500. Sending pics over later

 

[Herr Flick]

Dave, that looks like a nice example.
The first thing I noticed was that it had rear electric windows. My f**king 2006 focus st doesn't even have that lol.

imprezaworks, seems a good price. Condition dependant. Get it bought if it is good.

 

[Flat Eric]

That wagon looks cool. Burble burble........

 

[imprezaworks]

Will see what the pics are like and post them up

 

[imprezaworks]

He's taking pics tomo

 

[Mr R.]

My misses likes the blue one which Dave has posted...

Found this on AT.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...radius/1500/page/4/postcode/rm188jq?logcode=p


So tempted to go and buy this tomo, looks mint.

[imprezaworks]

Do it. You fancy a wagon then?

 

[Mr R.]

I didn't tbh, but after seeing EvilGraffs scoob i kind of like it.

He has the gold Speedlines as his summer wheels and i believe its on coilovers with an nice sounding exhaust.

She has a old Corsa at the moment and we have 2 boys who are 9 and 10 so could do with more room for when we all go out.

What are they like to own?

I can do the servicing work myself and Tania only does around 5k per year, the last one i posted looks mint and with full S/History seems like the right car to buy.

 

[imprezaworks]

The three I've had we're fine, spark plugs and belts are a pain but overall a damn sight cheaper than the evo I had and dare say better to drive, more involvement. Best thing is when you start it up, the noise....

 

[Flat Eric]

Both those wagons posted above look great to me. Can't believe how cheap they are too

Sounds perfect! Is it getting advertised?

 

[imprezaworks]

Nope, I see what you did there

 

[yeecup]

Gimme gimme gimme!!

 

[imprezaworks]

If it doesn't appeal I will drop you a pm tomo after he sends me the pics.

 

[Herr Flick]

Sloppy seconds iirc.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha, better than none at all

 

[yeecup]

Cheers mate

 

[Herr Flick]

Starting to get fucked off with this now.

Cant find one decent impreza for circa £7k in grey that isn't in Lancashire or near Scotland.

Look at an evo?

 

[Herr Flick]

They are far more expensive. Lol

 

[Bluebeard]

£6k would buy you a lovely 6. There's a stunner on piston heads. I'm on my phone so can't link.
