Subaru Impreza WRX 2.0 turbo AWD 4 door saloon  Photos below – more to follow.

Date of Manufacture 23rd March 1995  (M plate)     Date of UK registration: 1st July 2004

MOT: 22nd May 2012 – a new MOT to be supplied at sale price

This car is showing 104,000 miles on the clock.  As an import, the mileage cannot be warranted but, if anything, the true figure is probably less than this.  As an import the first 50,000 “miles” (the approximate reading at import) would have actually been kilometres so the actual mileage is probably around 84,000 miles.  The car comes with comprehensive UK history – details below.  Since the car is a Japanese import, I have no records prior to import and I am unable to verify the mileage as definitely correct.   Whichever is the correct figure it is very low for a car of this age but is just about run in for Subarus which consistently come top of the customer satisfaction and reliability surveys.

The WRX is the stuff of legends and I am sure you don’t need me to say much more about them.  Suffice to say this one is very sound and goes like the proverbial!   In standard spec the 2 litre turbo boxer engine provides about 250 bhp.  This one has an induction kit and a dump valve fitted which probably add a few more.  I am also told that the Japanese ones were more than 250bhp in standard form.   I actually sold this car in June last year to a member of the Royal Signals White Helmets motorcycle display team who are based in Blandford.  He has been delighted with it but had his heart stolen by a classic Escort so the WRX had to go.  I was more than happy to buy it back!  

It is the four  door saloon with a decent size boot and plenty of room for luggage and the spoiler!  It is finished in one of the best colours for a WRX (and BMWs and Rolls Royces but only if you are getting married!) – white.    It has power steering, 5 speed gearbox, air conditioning (which works well), climate control, electric folding mirrors and an excellent stereo radio CD player.   It has remote central locking with immobiliser and alarm (Thatch cat 1 I believe), electric windows all round.  It also has a tracker fitted – just in case you lose it in the Tesco multi storey!  See below for the full spec.

The car is finished in plain white paintwork and is virtually faultless cosmetically.   There is a small dent to the lower half of the nsr passenger door  and one of the bumper spats is missing – see pictures below.   These cosmetic issues should be sorted soon.   The wheels shown in the pictures have been replaced with the correct wheels for a car of this age – 16” silver Subaru alloys.

Inside, it is trimmed in cloth upholstery which again is in excellent condition although there is a little wear showing to the outside of both front seats on the squab (base).    The seats are a bit grubby in the pictures but they will clean up well and this should also be done soon.  In the pictures you will see the wind deflectors fitted around the top of the windows on either side.  These have been removed and it looks the better for it.  They have left slight marks in the paintwork but not very noticeable.  The car has Subaru front carpet mats.

The car drives without fault and will probably lead to me losing my licence if you don’t buy it soon.  As with all our cars, a full inspection is welcomed.
