Awesome!....but we want photo's of your polished scoob & one with its winter blanket on ok ?.

Hey guys...I'm back, & looks like I need to pay my subs!, well...I put a £250 depo on a WRX today & getting it delivered home tomorrow...its not even registered & a direct import from japan..i'll do the registering myself to save time. Its a Red JDM WRX & completely standard & best of all ...no rust anywhere...like new on the underside & even comes with a handy Japanese sat nav!!....its a dvd too so all is not lost .. This seems a little higher specced than a standard UK wrx..& has proper rear tints no film...rear window also. The floor mats are like new & have genuine logo/ tags etc... The alloys are like new & gold unmarked...+ four new bridgestone Blizzac tyres.. What you guys think ?....sorry its no STI but hey, i'll be the first owner in the UK The price was £5995...& I'm trading in a golf tdi 2003...only got 1250 in trade though. The scoob is a 2003 blobeye....still feel its a little high...but they won't budge.

Hey welcome paul....looking forward to seeing your motor pal..

Hey guys.....anyone know this owner?....looks tidy enough. On the Bay SMA Cars 321691532245 Looks like this has had a filler repair down both n/s doors though to me.....

Hey...sure, they have to put there bit on top...but sometimes there are good deals to be had. I was suprised to see a 2006 WRX 300 blobeye for sale....but its £8995!!...it must really have to be like new for that price. Cannot be many on that year for sure.

Hey rich...welcome. Yes you are right....there's some real tat out there & really overpriced...i don't mind paying over the odds for a clean one, but Meh!...you gotta be quick. I also observe..that prices have risen on subaru's....i have missed some decent cars last year, only this year to see eqivalents with loads more mileage on them for the same kind of cash!. Take your time & go out & check a few first. I like to haggle, & seen many faults on these cars...but the sellers, esp dealers won't budge too much

I have seen lots of bugeye's with serious rust issues...& tbh..i have no problem i doing the work myself...but spending over 10k on a motor..i don't really want the tin worm in there!. I had a twenty year old Mr2..& there was zero rust !!. My best bet would be to source a recently imported scoob i feel...

Thanks for that...looks like the panel/beam are spot welded then...most of the cars i have looked at recently have been falling through on panel 15.

Hello Guys... I looked at an 2005 subaru STI Widetrack the other day...65k miles & looked clean / standard / straight etc...but i noticed that the lower radiator mount/beam was totally rotten & had a large hole in there!!... I noticed the same big hole on a supposed 'mint' wrx300..same year..hey, same mileage too?. My question is...does the lower mount bolt out or is it spot welded/ i suspect the latter ?. Having a hard time finding one that ain't rotten tbh!!. Cheers Guys

Hey...back on the scene & still NO scoob for me!!....but i got my eye on a 2005 wrx wagon @ 64k & a £5999 price tag!!..trying to beat the price down for cash. Its a sonic blue & leather chairs...all standard, i'm looking at this as a daily compromise,,,sti's are mega money..even when they have 100k + on there backs!?..what's all that about?..for me there dead @ a ton..& lost their value. I don't mind the wagons at all...what you guys think?. Thankyou;)

Yes it was a high priced shiny shed....only had one key too!!...hate that.

Good job this trip was only 65 miles away.......the 300 looked like new on the exterior..little to no wear at all on the interior FSH & new clutch & Full MOT no tax though!. It was in a stadium lit showroom with fully carpeted floors?...so i was comfy lied down checking it out...first slap was the rear bumper/lower part was concave & had reversed into something/split the bottom i noticed. BUT i could not help noticing the vast amounts of rust underneath the car/ body seams & spot welds etc...too much for my liking TBH. I was then a bigger problem caught my eye/ the lower front valance/ radiator mount was SNOT ROTTEN!!...there was a big corroded hole to the right side of the radiator....certainley not for me. The WRX IN QUESTION is from the CAPITOL CAR CENTRE @ preston..on ebay now @ £6750. I'll bide my time & keeping looking. Hate rotten sports cars. my gt4's were completely rust free & over TEN years older!!!???.

Cheers, i know its not an STI , but its a genuine 300 & so not so bad really....i cannot beleive there are only 300 in the UK though!?. @ 265ps its plenty power for me.

We''ll see, off down saturday am to scrutunise it to pieces!!...

Ok guys....good news, i just 'blindly' put down a 500 depo on a 2005 WRX UK300 totally standard car & FSH @ 67000 miles...totally standard & indeed does look ultra tidy...this is from a dealer & is only 65miles away, apparently it needed a clutch & someone had actually bought it, but complained about clutch slipping in 5th. So a plus side is a new clutch assy...( car was returned ). They said if i'm not happy with the car they'll refund the depo i just put on to secure it...
