Hey what I really want is some advice - looking at the genuine parts they all look as bad as mine - not super fussed about keeping it original ( unless you guys think otherwise ) just what's best . Also I should maybe change things like the air filters - I'm sure there must be something better in 2020 I also have a boot leak - anyone else had this ? the spare tyre is sitting in water - not a great look I've done lots of work last year - new drive shaft , steering rack , radiator and header tank ( sorry , I'm not a mechanic , just a driver 😂 ) I also need the rear wheel archers looking at , just a bit of blooming there If there was someone within say 20 miles who could help out that would be great p

Classic Impreza looking fir new home
Pete Hofmann replied to Pete Hofmann's topic in Member's Subarus For Sale
Hi Again so Ive decided to hang on to this , the car has had all the bodywork done and I am now looking to tart up the interior . I have a new drivers seat which ws the main bit of wear but I've been looking for ages for an interior better than mine , in particular the rear door cards ( which you wouldnt expect to be too bad but I transport a lot of equipment in mine so its pretty shabby ) anyone got any ideas , or what later interiors ( if any ) might fit ?

Classic Impreza looking fir new home

Thanks to Mattb for his help and advice . So I know given the bodywork and milage that I'm not going to get 5k ( at the moment ) but thats a good reason to post it here . Im going to get the cosmetic body work bits done and keep as a fun summer car rather than my daily drive but will remain open to offers ;) -

This is my very much loved Subaru impreza . I am the second owner and this has been my daily drive for many many years . It is mechanically perfect , 4 good tyres and alloys recently refurbished ( hence the colour change ) . Regularly serviced although completing the logbook has wained as I never expected to part with it . All repairs have fastidiously used genuine parts . Drivers seat base recently changed along with the header tank ( see photo ) The lacquer has started to perish in several places and the drivers door has been damaged - I had a quote for £1000 to repair this and respray all the lacquer . Some of the engine hoses have also started to perish and whilst I have been systematically changing them I have to accept that this car needs to be loved and I just don't have the time anymore , I just need something that I can drive in central London every day ... No real idea what its worth but I am resolute in that it needs to find the right home . Mileage is at 145k . I would ideally like to get around 5k for this as its worth that much the me to keep as a fun weekend car ,

Hi there ..
just wanted some advice re selling a classic . Mine is completely original , high milage as its my daily drive but totally sound other than the lacquer starting to peel in a few places.
is Autotrader the best , I put it on pistonheads but really want it to go to the right person so not sure what to ask money wise ..
Thoughts ?

Hi.
Thanks for seeking my advice, In my opinion after looking at your car is it’s worth about £2500 tops. That’s not an insult to how you’ve kept it at all because it looks like your keeping what’s out of sight in tip top form i.e engine, running gear and brakes. It just looks like the body work that’s letting it down. To get 5k out of it it would need to be immaculate and have about 60k mileage. I’d put it on gumtree or eBay if your desperate to sell it. If it’s too lower price at the min then keep hold of it a bit longer. Prices are rising and you might get a bit more for it.. sorry if that’s not what you wanted to hear.. good luck.

Hi Matt
thats exactly what I needed to hear and the reason for posting here . The problem is I don't really need to sell it and at that money its probably with keeping just to have some fun .
TBH I thought if it was going to a good home it might be easier to part with as its been a great car . Maybe I will get the body work done then I will have to keep it !
-
I would mate. The rear arches look sound so it’s just cosmetic paint work not full body work. Mines original and immaculate now but it’s not took much to get it there, keep it and have some fun. Mines off the road through winter and it’s £142 to tax for a year and £200 to insure! Cheap fun in my opinion considering you can spend £800 on some golf bats and wander round looking like rupet the bear on a Sunday morning when it’s !Removed! of rain?! I know what I’d rather have 😂😝
