Well done, I know the car (have driven it several times) and know the previous owner (the subaru specialist mentioned) very well.

I'd have bought this unseen if I'd seen this ad in time!

F.F.S

I spotted this when it first popped up, and immediately assumed that it was a pig-in-a-poke at the price and steered well clear.

again...

Congratulations on the purchase.

That's an absolute steal, and kudos to the previous owner for honouring the price.

Enjoy!

Of the four engines, three died of HGF.

Thats very unusual actually, HGF isn't a common issue at all on the EJ20. Bit more common on the late 90s-early 00s EJ25 motors.

These are normally rolling around the £3 mark so veeeeery tempting. Top PH shedding

It was common enough for EJ208's to blow a gasket. Look at UKLegacy and you will see a steady trail of it, mine included.

I own one of these and it really is a fantastic car, I can't believe what great value they are. Servicing costs are high, but as I do my own the only issue is the week or so I have to wait for parts in NZ. They are a lot of fun and fast in a way that defies their appearance.
