This could do the trick!

Lucky · #1 07-01-2013, 06:11 PM

Just spotted this. Looks nice, 1 owner and low low miles. My knowledge on classics isnt brilliant so if anyone has any comments on the model etc, that would be useful.

Frenchie · #3 07-01-2013, 06:25 PM

Will be making some calls tomorrow!. Its the first one that has really grabbed me.

Scott.T · #6 07-01-2013, 06:38 PM

Looke nice and genuine and good mileage only 2K less then mine.
Remap done by Bob so you know it will be good and safe all the right bits have been changed.
Just needs a splitter and that chav WRX sticker removed from the boot.

I am sure the owner will have stacks of receipts.

BIG"E" · #7 07-01-2013, 06:40 PM

Looks good Steve,

but.......

Hongkongfooi · #8 07-01-2013, 06:47 PM

Looks very nice with good upgrades...shame is on merseyside

Anger · #9 07-01-2013, 06:54 PM

Shame it's been ruined with the side skirts... RA's should be kept naked

SpecB · #10 07-01-2013, 07:15 PM

Stunning example.

Shame that in an RA they couldn't manage to match the front and rear seats.

XRS · #12 07-01-2013, 07:25 PM

Looks like a cracking car. I'd personally leave the sticker on the boot, it's the original, after all

munk · #13 07-01-2013, 07:49 PM

Its very nice maybe a tadge over priced in my opinion..
Buy it...

Steve_PPP · #14 07-01-2013, 08:01 PM

If its genuinely in A1 condition then with that mileage, its probably worth paying over the normal price. Its nearly 14 years old now, so getting hard to find clean ones (hence the price i think).

I would have those skirts straight off and make sure they havnt put them on to cover anything up

That is a nice example and yes i too would remove the boot sticker along with the fog light!! Mines just creeping up on 53k, I've only done 3k since I've owned it.

scotty · #18 07-01-2013, 09:43 PM

that is a fine example of an ra and that would be worth the journey to have a look and its also at a good price

Not surprised, good ad and seems very honest and very well looked after. Go for it mate

RobEvo5 · #25 08-01-2013, 12:39 PM

Looks nice, and perfect tiidy toy to play with for relatively little money. But also goes to show how good classics are coming back into fashion and now becoming true classics when the price differential between this and say a blob STI are about the same.

Anger · #26 08-01-2013, 01:14 PM

STi RA Vltd's have always kept there price, it's the only classic I'd have if I was getting back into the Subaru scene properly

Sorry if I sounded a bit negative Lucky, just hate when people still skirts on a RA

Steve_PPP · #27 08-01-2013, 08:03 PM

Now thats a bargain, only 42k on it!

it is likely on the register as stolen and recovered.
Exactly the same scenario occurred on Niges Hawk.

#34 08-01-2013, 11:20 PM

He won't buy that it's blue

Lucky have you got any ********? If so get it bought. 1 owner who works for Ford will have kept that mint ( just to piss the Ford boys off ) Ra's with that sort of pedigree can't really lose money. In 5 years time that won't of gone down & you would of had 5 years of free motoring. Buy the bloody thing before Rob

At least rob would go and get it and sell it on a tank of fuel later....save you going to Liverpool!

I really wish you hadn't put this link up!!!. I pretty much had my mind made up on the classic, but everytime I look at this, I am not so sure. this really is exactly what I originally wanted. God I'm worse than a woman looking for shoes!!!.

its only a bargain as its recorded as a stolen recovered. it would therefore be hard to sell on.
if you can live with that then its worth going for it.

Sorry mate

Like Scott says, it'll show up as stolen/recovered on an HPI check, which does dent the value a bit. But if the paperwork proves the locks change and other work done, it doesn't mean its a bad car. If it was ragged within an inch of its life by the thieving wotsits, then any problems would have shown up by now (it was nearly 5 years ago....).

But if you've got a classic itch to scratch, get the RA

Exactly, you know I have always thought yours is spot on. Perfect colour and the best wheels in my opinion. Maybe I am over thinking this one, I just want to get it right as this will be a keeper.

C. J. · #45 10-01-2013, 09:09 PM

If its a keep then if your ok with the stolen bit on the hpi check who gives a flying !!!!!!!!

If you dont get a move on it will be sold as its created alot of interest..

Do all classics suffer from rusty rear wheel arches?

bigemp · #48 11-01-2013, 10:42 AM

He has just posted the below on the 03 sti

**UPDATE**

I have contacted the HPI check people and they have confirmed that the car is HPI clear and have sent me a 5 page report stating no adverse data recorded

So there you go, ive just saved you £20 on your own HPI check ha ha

As a result i'm thinking now my asking price is too low but i think it would be bad form for me to adjust the price on here, however it will be advertised elsewhere for a higher asking price.

Similar situation to Nige's Hawk I expect, that didn't show on HPI but IIRC it did on mytextcheck.

It's all a bit scary when they all seem to have different info.

The big advantage of HPI is they offer insurance (hence why it's £30+ and not the cost of a Txt)
I would still get it HPI'd and if it comes up clean then great, but when you come to sell, if it comes up different you may be able to claim back your losses.
