been offered this impreza at what i would say is cheap 1k

front bumper is bust,brakes are all in need of attention,i'm told the engine has to come out to do a minor repair(oil and water leak i'm told but dont have all the details)but is in good working order i'm told.
no mot or tax,he wants it to go to someone who will mot it so he can have his p plate off it(he's a mate of a mate and just cant be arsed doing it as he has another car lined up).

i know very little about subys but it has 18"wheels,carbon bonnet,front mount and stainless exhaust,dyno print out saying 330bhp.

unsure of the year at the moment.





now here is my dilema,i dont realy want the hassle of a turbo'd track car or roadcar at the moment(would love to but cant be bothered throwing money at cars just now).
how much would something like this go for if i was to buy then sell(enough money in it to make it worth while buying?)

 

2 reason's why i wouldnt,

1,End of the day it's a scooby and the're everyfuckingwhere. So by the time you've got it sorted and mot'd you could probably buy one done for the money it will stand you at.

2,it's a scooby

 

has to be worth that in bits surely
im sure kev could make money out of it

 

looks good and for a grand i would snap it up

 

it's a facelift one by the looks....anywhere around 96-98 i'd guess.

gotta be worth Ł5k+ if working pukka and the bumper is fixed i'd have thought?

 

dont know if the front lights are just an upgradings but if they are not and it is worth 5k+ i think i will buy it!

 

thats a cheap car get it bought

 

A grand... buy it. When people say 'minor repair' it usually means close to engine rebuild It's alot of a car for a bag of sand though.

 

Buy it. Scoobies are a bit of a pain to do simple stuff, but conversley, doing bigger stuff, removing bigger things like engines, rads, boxes, etc etc, are suprisingly easy.

Bits are suprisingly cheap too as they so common, lots of spares etc from folk breaking them on Scoobynet etc.

Fun cars too

 

i would for a grand

 

Surely break for more.

 

dovboy date of registration: 04.08.1998

looks nice for the price

 

i'm not breaking it if i have to mot it(needs mot for him to get his plate,its part of the deal).

 

worth it. bag it.

you can't go wrong.

 

I'd say it's a version 1 car, the aerial is on the front pillar so it's a 93 - 95.

The date of first registration will be the date it was registered at import.

Looks ok for a grand (unless they are spinning you bollox about the engine)

 

seems ok for Ł1k.

 

wouldnt even think twice at a grand, the wheels alone are probably worth 250 notes; get it bought

 

going up to see him through the week for a better look and to hear it running,its a k plate,something wrong with the sump so engine has to come out ,water leak from thermostat and exhaust fooked(tailpipe ok).

will report back on outcome through the week

 

My mate has 2000 reg on an x impreza turbo and his aerieal is in the same place.

 

For a grand, thats a bargain if its in mechanically good order, get it bought.

 

dovboy im from just south of glasgow and am a full time car trader...


we regularly pick up scoobs (ps. i hate em) in good condition not needing work for Ł2k and that doesnt look particularly nice even if you fixed the faults.

I dont think thats worth it really.... it isnt a dear car but for the hassle you're going to have working on it and sourcing parts i wouldnt bother... just get yourself to some auctions.

 

the thing with scoobs is just a simple fix engine out job can cost a few grand
