Im wanting to know the going rate for a good one of these, mods or no mods.

Seen V5 and 6's sell for anything between 4500 and 7500 depending on mileage, spec and condition

V4' anything between 4000 and 5500 again depending on spec, mileage and condition

I was thinking along those lines.

I have been looking at a 97 type r, its only done 45k miles but it has no tax, MOT no service history, it needs a new rear diff and underseals, how much should i expect to pay for an example like this? it seems like a good one.

Probably come in about 3000 depending on how the rest fairs up, reardiff is 100 or there abouts and 200 to underseal the car

Service history is extremely rare on imports

The boy was looking for about £4500, i said it was abit to rich, would it be an insult to offer £3ooo, as for condition he said it was near mint, with no rust, dents and the engine and box were fine.

I like the car and if i can get it for near £3000 i'd be happy. I assume viewing is essential?

If it sailed through an MOT with no advisories then 4000 would be the starting point as the required work on diff and underseal would bring it close to what he is looking for it

3000 for a car with no MOT, Tax as it could cost a fortune if underneath is not good due to the low mileage

He has to MOT it at least and you need to RAC/AA check it to make sure the MOT is sound

I know the prices of cars have hit rock bottom, but with what i've spent on my 1998 type R over the last couple of months, I would never even sell it at £7500 even if I was offered that!

There are some good ones going about that are cheap, just make sure and do your research, look at a few of them and make your mind up on which one you eventually buy.

all going well and assuming the boy is honest, the car should be sound, and if i get it for decent money then i can spend some money on it fixing it and maybe even have a poject on my hands.

I assume these type r are hard work to keep good? I had a uk turbo 2000 and it cst me a fortune to keep serviced, and in petrol, hopefully the type r aint to different to that.

All depends how you treat it really. Can be the same as a uk turbo, check all your fluids regularly, service it when it needs a service or if you've been tracking it you should always change the oil afterwards etc.

When you get into the realms of big turbo's and lots of boost, expect to break it now and then

Subaru's are very reliable cars if looked after correctly

I thought that, its like any car then look after it and all will be well.

I like big turbo's and big power, and could be tempted, my s3 if for sale so the money from that could fund some serious mods, but like you say it will break and i cant be bothered with that. I've wanted a type r for ages and this is the first time i've been in the position to get one. Hopefully i find a nice example for a decent price.
