02' Bug 1.6 for sale Update: Relisted with new pics and updates

Updates:
Oil change and Filter last month, only about 400 miles on em :)
Work said, I am now not going to be driving out of town. lol At least not for a few months now. So I can bike or do public transport until the Leone is done... Imprezle back up for sale!



I'm in the market for something old, 1973-1979 Subaru Leone, so sadly until I get a garage, I can only keep one car at a time. It's not like in Missouri, where I had room for a stable of five Subarus! :) I didn't intend on selling this so soon, but I found one in England that could be the car I'm looking for.


So here's my scooby:

DSCF0699_zps3c77d7bd.jpg


My name: Ken Callaway
Price: 1500 for quicky sale
Miles: 114,000
NCT until: Oct 25 2014
Taxed: Up to date (Getting renewed at the end of April)

About the car:
I've owned it since Aug 2013 and have put around 3,000 miles on it and it hasn't missed a beat!
The guy I bought it from bought it from another ISDC member
Irish Market car (saves a %age during insurance time) vs 1.5/1.6s from Japan
Gets great fuel mileage, I only used 3/4 tank on a fairly spirited drive from Dublin to Galway and back
(Full fuel log from beginning of ownership)

Oriciari Bits:
-Rear Wing
-HID Oriciari/UK300 adjustable head lamps
-Side skirts
-VERY Clean and Tidy interior

Recent Maint: (I have log book and receipts since Aug)
-Wheels refinished in white
-Front Discs machined/ New pads
-New wipers
-New battery (Aug 2013)
-New Floor Mats
-Steam-cleaned interior (Nov 2013)
-Air Filter/Oil Filter/Oil
-New NGK spark plugs and wires
(probably more in log book that I've forgotten)


Could use:
O2 Sensor (pre-heater circuit is low enough that the light comes on after a bit, but still functions fine and passed NCT)
The tires may not pass NCT next winter
One of the rear reg lamps needs replaced
The dash clock stopped working

Body:
No rust
Engine bay is dusty, but clean (no grime/leaves/mud... they cause rust)
a couple of the usual small door dings
A scuff on the front bumper
A crack in the grill
a few scratches from neighbors cat in clear coat
one small dent in front left wing
a few scratches on left mirror


Over-all, this car is mechanically sound, dependable, clean and shifts smoothly and runs like a top. Could use a few minor fixes *listed above* And the ONLY reason I'm selling it is that I am in the market for something vintage.

Any other questions or pic requests, I can post em up. The only difference between the pics above and the current state is the wheels are still a bit dirty from the ISDC cruise in the Wicklow Gap a few weeks ago. But they'll come back to new with a bit of effort.

Hehe, one of my pet-peeves is a shoddy car advert... Like what you see on donedeal/craigslist fairly often.. "Car for sale, genuine buyers only" is just lazy! Wouldn't it be easier to be very informative than have people show up and go, "meh, it's not like I imagined!" hehe.

Oh and on the prospective Scooby... He actually has two, a late 70s Coupe and a 79 GFT. The GFT sold almost immediately, as it was more rare and in better shape. It is now on it's way to OZ *where it was imported from* I have however put my name down on the Coupe! It is now spoken for :)

Coupe = *Later model engine/gearbox, needs a mount and the car, "needing assembly"
The actual Coupe in 2004:

Thank you! times 3! And yeah, I am very pleased with how my 95HP Bugeye performed! I wonder how well a 94HP GFT would perform through the Gap. The Leone weighs about 1700lbs (750kg)! My search for a vintage Scoob is really trying to satisfy my love of classic cars AND subaru, but being size-conscious for Irish roads.

I like the white wheels

Thanks! I think they looked much sharper than the silver finish.


Also note: I added some pictures of the tires and the dent to clear up any concerns.
 
Re: 02' Bug 1.6 for sale €1700

Fresh oil/filter before cruising up to Donegal and back. Defo no rush in selling, but itll help my coupe build this coming June!

Turns out I might need to hang on to the car a bit longer, oh well, means I have a tow-vehicle! :p

And thanks guys for the great feedback on my ad. One day, I'll likely repost when I'm looking for that super clean STi.

And for those wanting the project pics... This is what I've closed the deal on, just waiting for a trip to EngleLand! hehe

It'll be fairly original, but AWD and based on the pics below:

Accessories:

With a set of these very very rare deep dish vintage Jackman spokes (on rear) and with the fiberglass arches and deck wing.

And I think storm-trooper white :)
