Shaunc Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 My uk turbo 2000 MY2000 I've Been the owner of this car for 12years after buying it a year old It's been looked after to the highest standards. It's probably the best gc8 on the road from a few opinions and comments. It's a bold statement but it's a strong contender!!! after Been to shows,meets and events. It's a genuine example of a nice car. Massive spec No cheap Micky mouse parts 2.2 Forged build never been started Too much to list Can send/post pictures as requested. Cheers Shaun
Ash007ks Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I'd do a snippet of the spec and probably a price, this will probably gauge more interest.

Fully refurbeb TY754VN1AA gearbox with powder coaded cases,exedy pink box clutch, new flywheel,new bolts, New lower arms,new brakes front and rear,powdercoated ARB front and rear,new tyres In fact too much to list.! Like I say I've owned this car for a lot of years it is mint and genuine straight car with no issues. The engine is brand new it's not even been started it was built for 400bhp using the best parts. It's been maintaind to the highest standards throughout. 1
Shaunc Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 I've got every receipt,every MOT,every tax disc from when this car was brand new. There is roughly about 40k of receipts it's got every service stamp and documentation you could as for.
Jay762 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 That is an impressive spec - my advice, same as given to a mint WR1 owner, have a price in mind that you will be happy parting with it and stick to it, may take some time but the right person will come along.
Gambit Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Does sound great can't believe you want to sell it :(
Shaunc Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Need a family car my girlfriend is pregnant so the toys have to go. It breaks my heart but I've gotta do what I've gotta do :(
Jay762 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Congratulations!! :) I know its not necessarily what you would like to hear but as long it has x4 doors and you can get a push chair in the boot it will work as a family car, maybe change the shocks back to standard to get a slightly softer ride and it could work no problem
Gambit Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Congratulations. And don't know what you mean about a family car. It's got 4 doors it's a family car thats what I tell my Missus AWD for safer handling ;) 1
Shaunc Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Hahaha alls well and good but it flames and bangs abs whistles. I've tried but I'm afraid is has to go I've no idea of what it's worth? Has anybody got an idea??
Gambit Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 All the above is to help baby sleep ;) I wouldn't want to put a price on it, it's not my car and I know I wouldn't be able to afford the price that I would have thought either. So sorry that will be up to you and what you think it's worth and can get for it. :D
Jay762 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 You wont be able to put a specific price on it purely based upon the model it is - get a figure in your head that you would be happy with and take it from there
Shaunc Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 If I put a price on the car I would say £6000 Ono it might be miles out the water!! But I will guarantee this is one of the best classics left Never been raced or rallied. It breaks my heart to say but I need a family diesel a 5door my partner is expecting and I have to cash in... I would also maybe swop fir the right car. I can't stress enough this is a 100% looked after and cherished car it's not the usual eBay banger it's been owned by an enthusiast and maintained and modified whatever the cost. The spec is huge. Too much to list please contact me for details
Gambit Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 To be fair that's around the mark I thought £5,500 to £6,000 I know book value would be a lot less but they never take into account anything other than age of the car. And definitely would like to see this got to another car/subaru enthusiast. If I'd had the money I would have been tempted myself for another toy to play with :(
Ash007ks Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 book value from what I got mine valued at is £1200-2000, but private I would say advertise it on all the Subaru websites to get the interest, and definitely avoid brezking for parts but if you do let me know ;)
Shaunc Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 I will not break this car. It's fully mapped by ecu labs it supports antilag,MAF less setup drive superb If it doesn't sell I will have to keep it as it's a reluctant sale. Am I safe to to put my number on here??? 1
Gambit Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Am I safe to to put my number on here??? People do put their number's on here with sales and not had any complaints. But I'd only put my works mobile on here as it is a public viewing forum, I'd like that to change at some point to registered members only for most of the forum. Maybe something I should bring up with the owners again ;)
Jay762 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 as you are a member now you can accept PM's a phone number off the back of a genuine enquiry is perfectly acceptable - unfortuantely at this point we cannot guarantee your number wont be scanned and added to some form of cold call list, bottom line if it is posted on the internet it can be read / transferred / exploited
Miggs Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 i passed my test and got a chavalier as my first car, fitted a 2.0 red top engine, dropped it 60mm on 15's plus some other goodies, went from that to a vectra for a few months then the wife got pregnant so i bought a mk2 golf gti, it had 5 doors and a boot big enough for the pram so it stayed, imo as long as you have rear doors and a boot to fit a pram/pushchair as said already then you have a family car lol
