Zero good ones on the market?

[scooby doo]

LITTLE RANT ALERT:
I've been searching loads but for life of me can i find a Good clean non rot/grubby impreza with less than 100k on the clock?
like hell can i, been looking at importing too but the prices of the models i can afford is slim too. all sti's in any body form are 10k min once landed,
Ive spoke to a few importers with the general conversations looking like for around £8000 il only bag a Wrx with around 70/80k on the clock.

just seems the market for imprezas are high at the mo..
I think its just i remember buying similar cars for a 3rd or more cheaper over the past few years so when i see them for sale i struggle to work out there prices..

You could have bought mine for less than 7k

Wasn't looking till start of week grrr

What model you looking for?
The prices in Japan are high now and will probably only get higher as the American market opens up for these

[scooby doo]

A non rusty one lol , looking for a clean floor pan one, hurst cars have a couple on a boat with a description of rust free so awaiting pics on them

[Neil97rs]

If you are looking at classics there are very few going though the auctions
You can get them via dealer networks in Japan and exported but you have to pay top money for them

[scooby doo]

Yes I've been looking all week and the sites and got no where , I've spoke to few importers about personal import service ,
But I may look at other stuff to if I'm importing

[Red Baron]

What's your budget in case I see anything and are you looking for an import or clean UK car?

I have some log in details as a previous customer which gives you access to a different view than normal

I will have a look later and see what’s around . What sort of figure you looking at for an on the road price? Do you want standard or modified?

Will have a look around for you

Ideally not fussed on mods , it's more just cleaness and zero corrosion . And sub 120kmh
I was thinking around the £7-8k mark

[Red Baron]

This still keeps shouting at me, stupid miles but fresh engine

Shane ,go and have a look, then you will know for sure otherwise you will always wonder what if?

Benji good luck with your search .

[scooby doo]

Trouble with that is, uk classic so the corrosion can be min or it could be riddled in it especially with that millage that's why I've started looking at imports.

Ok I can ask the man in Japan to have a look what’s around?
Very little going through the auctions this week

History isn't good is it, sounds like it's had a hell of a lot of welding over the past few years.

You just have to keep on looking mate, I had been looking for a good Spec C for 3 years when this one popped up fully forged with 42k on the clock and garaged all its life

[scooby doo]

The chances of finding a non crudded up rb5 is very slim nowadays ,
In fact 90% of turbo 2000s have unfortunately gone this way . I've been looking I'd say for the past 18months on / off and viewed around 10 . It seems they can be extremely good on top and polished up lovley but underneath is brown , I recently looked at a hatch thinking newer metal etc etc 67k on the clock and the underside looked like it sat 67k in a field lol,
Saw a 56plate 78k black hawk and that had corrosion in all the seams , I can deal with trailing arms etc it's the shell that I can't,
I did just look at a glanza thing for my friend a fresh import and it blew me away a 22year car that was cleaner than anything I've seen but unfortunately the heat had effected the paint on the roof and bonnet (gone thin)
Il just keep looking and see what pops up, think this would be Impreza number 11 or 12 now

[Neil97rs]

A white grade 4.5 classic sti going through later this week
Only 54000 km
Will keep an eye for the ending price and let you know I’ve not seen a grade 4.5 go through for months so cannot look up recent prices
