Sadly I've to part ways with my beloved Impreza :(

Unfortunately due to work and family commitments I've no option but to sell on the STI.

It's in extremely good condition overall and has been cared for meticulously throughout its life.
It is a known car amongst the various enthusiast forums including the ISDC (Irish Subaru Drivers Club) and Backroads.ie.

It is a 1999 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type RA WRC Limited Edition- only 1000 of these cars were ever made, mine being # 671.

It has the same specification as a mormal Type RA with some additional extras like the WRC blue front seats.

Predator Motorsport recently (9 weeks ago) carried out engine work on her to the value of €800 (receipt provided) and they will vouch for the condition overall.
The car was also recently involved in an accident where she needed some body work- all work was carried out by Carroll and Roche Subaru. Noel (works there) said he would happily stand over the car and the work carried out on it. I have receipt for this as well to the value of €3,300.

Yep- she's still for sale.
Have had quite a bit of interest today though :)

Not sure what relevance that has to this thread? It's clearly stated here.
I am pretty clearly happy to share the information publicly hence me posting the accident (by choice) on an online forum like the ISDC.

It's not detailed on Adverts as I don't want to scare people off unnecessarily before contact is even made. I'll share the information and repair story/receipt to anyone that expresses interest.

That's what I'd have a problem with. I'd rather be told bout it in advert and left to my own devices on whether its worth chasing further. Not telling people till they make contact is just wasting their time if they are the sort of buyers who would be bothered by the repairs... It's a little deceitful tbh.

Delighted you'd have some interest all the same.
 
Repaired in Carroll & Roche for €3300.

I'd say Noel remembers the car and could give a run down on specifics.
 
It's been repaired guys ;)

Noel will happily advise on the cars condition both before and after the accident ;)

I will upload a copy of the invoice tomorrow.
 
Good point :)

Have the receipt from Predator, not from Ali Burrows although that work can be traced back through here quite easily if you or anyone interested was so inclined ;)

Thanks for the tips guys- keep the questions coming :)

Will miss this car :( :( It's opened my eyes to a whole new world of agility/grip. The GTR is fierce in terms of power and I suppose handling however the MUCH lighter Impreza just feels more raw if that makes sense.

Richie.
