Well after selling my Bugeye as i never got the chance to drive it and wanting something with modern with some gadgets but still a bit of poke i got a FR 170tdi. It was great , i loved it , but it just lacked the noises a nice car should make. Rather than modifying it to sound better (not sure it's possible) i decided as i do so little miles that I'd get something worth keeping nice.
By chance i was browsing at @Gambit thread of his 330s and it just clicked . . . . .i quite like the look of these ! Again by chance , after seeing me comment on the thread @gsmith mentioned that Eastwoods were getting one in within the week. Two weeks later i have one !
Thanks to Gambit for the advice/info on his , I'm sure I'll be pestering him alot for a while.
Thanks to gsmith for the heads-up , and the work he did to prep the car for me. It really is perfect.
Thanks to Eastwoods , they pulled out the stops to get the deal i wanted. Between them (Marty i think the sales guy is called) and gsmith they have completely changed my opinion on car dealers.
Heres a few pics before i rattle on a bit more !
So everything i got with the sale - Service , MOT , full detail (detared, clayed, machine polish, wax) interior clean. Hubs painted (they were a bit rusty) , ding in the drivers door removed , two scuffs on lower front bumper (below driver side fog if you look close at the pic) repaired and painted. Wheels that were fitted were slightly kerbed but the Sales guy new of a new genuine set still in the box so went halfers on them.
Few more pics to keep you interested.
So the 330s . It's a 2010 , 32k miles 2 previous owners. Completely standard apart from Rallyarmour mudflaps. Luckily for me as i wanted flaps ASAP and these cost a small fortune !
Along with the fact that it's a 330 bhp impreza , it's pretty well specced which i am pleasantly surprised with.
I am really happy that my criteria was met perfectly. Fast , nice sounding, well specced (i love my gadgets) and worth keeping nice.
