...how are they so cheap?! Was browsing eBay and I can't believe how cheap they're. This for example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-STI-SPEC-D-GREY-/400291646409?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item5d333dcbc9

Someone explain?

They had the new shape Cosworth Impreza at a local shopping center last weekend. Me and a few mates were looking around it when two chavs came up and said "Ah look, Cossie engine, same as the Saff. Tommo's Nova skinned onw of these on the straights"

We were rolling around creasing.

Cost of fuel and insurance could be a factor as well, less desired in current times.

That particular one isnt that great looking either. I personally wouldnt buy it based on the spec alone.

spec d is designed for comfort and being more discreet.

they as above are just generally cheap because of insurance, tax and running costs, some bargains to be had.

If you are going to buy one, FFS make sure it looks the part.

Would be easier to swap over the full boot lid with the spoiler already attached. Theres a few owners now goin the US non spoiler look.

That silver one is awful. Looks like an 18yr olds wet dream on the internet.

Hmm I've wanted a scooby for years, maybe now is the time I should be having one - the new ones don't really do it for me and I guess low mileage tidy ones will just get rarer and rarer

I seen 1 of the new style Subaru's on my way to Blackpool last week, but it was a saloon and not a hatchback. Take it these have just been released as never seen nor heard of them before. Actually looked pretty damn good, was white.

Stupid that somebody would buy a car renowned for it's handling and then scene it up with stupid camber.

I personally don't see them as desirable so maybe that's the general consensus? I'd much much rather an Evo over a Scooby.

I have to admit I like some of the de-spoiler'd Evos and scoobs.
