Impreza Panic Pistonheads

[paddy247]

Hi guys is it just me or is there a panic at the moment with people puting there impreza up for sale, I have been looking for one recently again as I miss my last one, and have been monitering the small adds, there is 10 a day or more getting added to pistonheads and almost 15 in the last 4 hours.

This could be a sign of the credit crunch which is on its way, think I might just hold off for a bit and see how the market goes

No telling what it is mate. but if you want one and you can afford it - go get it, and don't deprive yourself one of life's pleasures. You'll regret it if you don't!

or - DO go without things you want - but only for things you REALLY want....

Hmmm, there have always been a lot of Imprezas kicking about the Pistonheads Site..

But I agree with the above, go for it... there's a nice Spec-D from Dundee/Fife area on there, somewhat of a bargain I believe too.

Cheers,

think he`s looking for an RA or something similar, makes sense really

[paddy247]

Very True guys, Spec d very nice but out of the range of the pennys in my pocket m8.

However was in talks with a guy about this car, was wandering if anybody knows it or its owner who is Gerard McCarthy from Glasgow, (merchant city area)

Thats a nice looking scooby

[paddy247]

Its a nice looking scooby alright, I had cash in the hand the other day and was getting ready to arrange a viewing, Then a few things put me off, the guy says hes a member on here but not been on much latley, I have never come across him on here to my knowledge. He has aparantly owned it for 7 years so I thought he might be known to the comunity, would just like to know if he is genuine or not.

Yup, thats the type of thing I'm after... really fancy doing more trackdays which isn't fair to do in the Spec-G to be honest and think I'd get more from a focused Classic instead.

Paddy, I remember seeing pics of that car before, dont think the guy is a regular poster on here.. but there were definitely pics put up. Looks great, well worth a look round it anyway.

paddy any more pics? cant make out what's on the roof.

i've never seen it around here and the name doesnt ring a bell

and i know most of the Glasgow lot

[paddy247]

I think the car was advertised on pistonheads just after christmas then removed after a few weeks, The guy may be genuine and here is the only other pics he sent me,

[RS Grant]

Like I say mate, sure he put pics up here too.. its not too far along the road, so worth going along for a look at it.

Cheers,

Grant

Yh it is worth a look, the only problem being that he said it is keeped in a secure car park, centre of Glasgow, it has no tax and is not insured, so a test drive is out of the window unless i foot the bill to get a days cover note and tax the car so i can take it for a drive. a lot of dicking about and theres no where there to test drive the car proberly and check it over, the other thing i didnt like was the story of it having only one set of keys, very common for cars to disapeare after you buy them with only one set of keys,

The wife has told me to give it a wide swerve, however i thought id do some reserch in to it ect, i emailed him and said get the car legal and meet me somwhere where i can check it over and test drive it properly and surpise surpise i have had no response, In previous emails he said "its legal enough for you to drive it round the car park" lol like it buy it after driving it round a car park.

Anyway if he gets back to me fair enough if not probs rumbled a scam of some sort

It wont cost you anything to start looking elswhere too. No point in putting all your eggs into that one basket - spread your wings and see what is out there, you never know, you might find something better. There are plenty of Imprezas available, so don't rush it.

[thefastone]

Yeah with John there, End of the day mate, thats a lot of money to shell out only to find that its not everything that you expected, or like you say, that it mysteriously disappears...

really if something, ANYTHING you think is not right about it, then just don't even consider buying it... Its not worth it for something to go wrong, and like John says there's way better cars out there, plenty of them in fact..

iv just put my car on pistonheads must be something in the air !
