Hi,
I want to buy a Type-r and I have seen this one

Subaru : 1998 Version 4 Impreza Type R (reduced) , what is your opinion?

Matt-WRX-Import · 18 Jan 2011, 08:23 AM

Car looks ok but I'd want a guarantee on the work done.
Didn't see the price because I'm using my phone And sometimes pages take ages to load

Tidgy · 18 Jan 2011, 08:37 AM

personaly i'd walk, sounds like a self build and i wouldn't trust it myself, plenty of them around for that sort of money. for a type r i'd consider upping your budget a bit, well worth spendign a bit extra for a decent car

REDTOP

thats a Vauxhall saying

looks like it's had some homehelp so to speak,a truely decent TYPE R will be going for around the high end of 5k minimum up into the (and i've seen them) 10k+ region..

Matt-WRX-Import · 18 Jan 2011, 09:20 AM

I'll have another look when I'm in the office, I'm on the train at the moment.
Didn't see that it was a home build, assumed it was a garage which is why I said a bout the work being guaranteed

Thank you for the reply

Have you anything else to suggest? I do not mind going a bit higher in the money, but I would prefer one from a private seller. Because many of the shops clock them or import them damaged. Their price is also much higher than the private.

I spoke with this lad http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2276149.htm and it seems ok, I check it on the net and it is HPi clear. What is your opinion?

if you go to a good importer mate the cars will be fine most jap imports
have low milage and in top condition with sensible mods,i would rather
pay more for a fresh import than one thats been over here with loads
of mods done in someones garage without a remap in sight

holyfield · 18 Jan 2011, 07:14 PM

Antony_uk · 18 Jan 2011, 10:35 PM

thnx you for your suggestions but I will keep in my decision.

Can you tell me about the car that I posted your opinion?

I spoke with the lad and sounds ownest to me.

Matt-WRX-Import · 18 Jan 2011, 10:40 PM

It all comes down to the quality of the work. If you're going to have a look at it and test drive then take someone with you who knows these engines well and check everything.
At the end of the day mate it's your call, hope it all works out well for you though.

Antony_uk · 18 Jan 2011, 10:46 PM

From the spec's that he wrote it seems like he has put quality things in there.

If I send AA car inspection do you think that could check it in depth and tell me if it is good?

Matt-WRX-Import · 19 Jan 2011, 12:03 AM

I doubt it mate, sorry.
