Gambit Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Oh nice if that comes off. You do have to be careful with getting Subaru with a prodrive tag I've seen 100s being sold on as a prodrive just because it has a spoiler that's a prodrive or something :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobaru88 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks for the warning Gambit, I've even heard stories online of people going as far as stripping the prodrive bits out of a prodrive car and selling them on. There was one guy who got his PPP STI rolling roaded and found out it was only putting out about 250. Luckily this one has been fully serviced and looked over by Bulldog in Twyford who seem a very genuine bunch of guys. Unfortunately though the owner has already sold it to a guy in Wales! Must have been a pretty tidy example for someone to travel that far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoop-y Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 So what do all you guys use as your daily driver? I have a diesel Honda as I mentioned B) I use the STI. I can`t imagine myself to drive a wobbly car with soft suspension. I would get sick very quickly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobaru88 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Lol fair enough, I think I had better start looking further afield! Just spoke to the dealership about the prodrive Subaru and they have no prodrive certificate for it and no service book. Apparently the contacted the garage who did the MOT last year who confirmed they did the cambelt at the same. He's not willing to move on the price so I think I'm going to swerve this one... ...the search continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a pretty tidy example for someone to travel that far That is why you need proof of the installation. For example mine has all the paperwork and the Prodrive certificate.

Noobaru88 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah completely agree, that's one of the reasons i'm walking away from this one in Welwyn garden city. Subaru shopping=absolute minefield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
