10 years without an MOT.

It's been up for sale since April. There must come a point they realise the car isn't worth what they are asking.

Dealers with (overpriced) Imprezas seem to be the most stubborn/deluded of all vendors, there are numerous examples that have been sat unsold for 1-2 years or even longer, without a hint of a price reduction in all that time.

Wow. Nothing like the prep needed for a car at that price point. So many rusty fixings/calipers and an aftermarket head unit. No chance.

It's not even been taxed in over 10 years, or MOT'd in over 8.

It's the third most expensive car they have in stock, behind a 993 Carrera 4 and a an M-Reg Range Rover 4.2 which also deserves to be in this thread.

Twenty seven and a half thousand pounds.

I remember at my work place back in about 97 one of my colleagues got a £20k or so bonus and bought an Impreza Sport. Proper sheep in wolf's clothing. The looks of the turbo with woeful performance.
