Hi there,
I'm thinking of purchasing an RB320 and saw this one with low miles
http://www.thecartradecentre.com/used-cars/subaru-...

Does anyone know it's history?

Thx

Can't find anything on the Owners Club site about it, just:

194 Berkshire- 19/04/2010

I assume that is when and where the current owner decided to join the club.

Either way, it looks good and a pretty good price with the very low mileage.

I'd buy it if I had the money.

I just read this on the RB320 website regarding number 194
It was posted a year ago, for sale with 51k miles and £14995
http://www.rb320ownersclub.co.uk/?showtopic=3998

So i'm a bit confused because it's now being advertised with 20k miles.......hmmm

Hmmmmm, probably best to stay clear then.

I would keep waiting, join the club, and get one from there. You know it's been looked after by a person who is probably a bit more passionate about the car. I was chatting to someone once who had bought an RB320 just because it was black - no idea about the meaning of the car or anything. I know it shouldn't matter, but you'd like to think a bit more research would have been done.

The RB5oc has gone a bit quiet lately, but the RB320oc seems to be a bit more active. I would join it, and keep an eye out for ones coming up.

Just thought, may still be worth a look if you're local enough, and check the service book.

2010 would have been the first year it would have had an MOT, which would have the mileage on it. With the number plate and V5, you can check all the recorded history of the MOT's here https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history-vehicle If memory serves me correctly, it does show the mileages too.

Having said all that, I'm not sure how warm and fuzzy I'd feel even if the MOT info. checks out.

I was interested in this as well.

Gave them a call and they were very helpful.

Turns out the car is build number 196 and it's a mistype that they have now changed.

It was supplied by KT Green Subaru in Leeds and the full history is with them. Mileage is all verified at that low etc

I checked with them and they verified it all. They gave me the reg as well, if anyone wants to do their own checks, it is YF07 OCE

Previous owner was from Isle of man and brought it back to KT Green for servicing each time.

I've been offered a super deal on a B7 RS4 in sprint blue, so I'm looking at that one now instead. But all the information shows it's a genuine car for anyone who might be interested.
