Who here owns a Subaru?

agw_01 · 6 Feb 2017 at 22:17

Prices of Imprezas have gone a little crazy in the past year. I paid £8400 for my 05 widetrack on 70k back in May last year. A guy at work has been keeping an eye on them since then and we've seen them creep up to around 10k for an equivalent car.

From the calls he's made to dealers, they seem to get snapped up pretty quick so if you want one, don't hang around

Don't expect BMW build or ride quality but they are great cars. They receive a mixed response but don't let the image put you off. Just feel pity for anyone who hasn't driven one

Got any more info/pics on this one you've been offered?

He has said he will take my car and £1.5k on top for his car. Certainly gave me something to think about. Do you think these cars will keep going up and up in price or start going back down once the fuel prices rise?

I can't see these going down in price ever... as long as it's looked after and what not. Same with most decent jap cars that are on peoples want lists.

I've owned most my dream jap cars and always got the same or more when selling them on. the exception being my EP3 due to the mods i put on it, but I knew that before hand.

2.0 or 2.5? Wouldn't bother if its an EJ20

ReAPeR101 · 9 Feb 2017 at 07:05

Mines a 2.0 53 plate.

Standard engine block. Has made 436bhp 385 torque on a meth map

As Frozennova states not really needed on a 2.0

L0rdMike · 9 Feb 2017 at 22:08

2.5

ScoobyDoo69 · 9 Feb 2017 at 22:12

Didn't even know you had one, Mike!

L0rdMike · 9 Feb 2017 at 22:16

Yeah over a year now, posted in the show us your car thead but I never really come on here any more now.

ScoobyDoo69 · 9 Feb 2017 at 22:21

Fair enough, things get lost in there!

RB320! Nice !

Very good cars out of the box.

Jumper118 · 9 Feb 2017 at 22:40

very nice

we have 2 rb320 in the showroom atm, they look so nice, but being black they are very very hard to detail. i think i prefer the wr1 2.0l sti though because the engines are less explody.

agw_01 · 9 Feb 2017 at 22:43

Mike, a 2.5? Give up now

Rybo89 · 10 Feb 2017 at 19:29

Greenlight have quoted me £560 for the above subaru and mods.

Keith micheals have sent me an email saying they can give me a competetive quote to greenlight, cant ever get through to them though to actually find out what the quote is.

Any other recommendations on where to try?

You know that you need to speak to Gary Moulson? If you don't have his number then contact me.

Otherwise, Sky are supposed to good, but I found their sales person incredibly annoying.

agw_01 · 10 Feb 2017 at 21:47

I'm with KM but didn't get to speak to Gary. Still, got a good price and haven't had any problems getting through on the phone.

Rybo89 · 10 Feb 2017 at 23:40

Yeah that is the guy who's number i have been given to ring as i quoted scoobynet or something in the online quote form. Keep getting the "call back in 15 minutes" message though. I did leave a voicemail , but it was late so doubt ill get a call back until Monday.

Chaps,

Any opinions on braided brake lines and master cylinder stoppers? Both worth investment, or one/other?

Got a wheel refurb this week. Going back to gold. Zunsport grills are also coming off for a colour change from silver to satin black.
