I don't know Subarus, but this looked pretty special.
Is it?
Even with my limited Subaru knowledge I would bet a snatter to a spittle that it's a Prodrive Type UK STI with an aftermarket wing.

Slight tangent, I assumed bigmotoringworld is a generic car marketplace, then I spot these... They took them as trade in? ​​​​​​​

I'd heard from someone local that the owner of Big Motoring World had a white Veyron after I saw it near Snodland in Kent.
Maybe the Chiron is his too..?

Love that there is a £199 admin fee!

Its bks. And in implies they do something for the £200 other than "allow" you to purchase the thing they are trying to sell?


Ever wondered why Tesco don't charge a £1 admin fee? It looks stupid. And ergo anyone advertising it is a fking simpleton whose probably selling polished ste.

I believe the Veyron was purchased so a slot for a Chiron was made available.

I've been looking for a car recently and thought I'd come across one that ticked all the boxes so I was all ready to phone and arrange a viewing - then I noticed that the price didn't include a £150 admin fee! Even though the price plus the £150 was around the right price for the car I still didn't bother going to see it.

My first mortgage included a fee that would be covered in the first 36 months compared to the no fee option.

My re-mortgage has no fee.


HOWEVER, the nice lady at Nationwide WAS doing something for that fee that I couldn't do myself. Whereas the dhead s who charge admin fees on car fking sales are putting in a thimbleful of fuel and sending the V5 to the DVLA for me. Both things I can do for well under £199


Wow what amazing service, I think I'll ask them to fk me in the arse and cum on my face too! rolleyes

fk them and I hope their business fail and they lose their homes. Robbing s deserved to be called out imo

Bit harsh on the dealer. If he doesn’t get the £199 admin fee, the salesman won’t be making a penny on those two Bugattis.
