Description

Now 12,995, previously advertised at 14,995. Reduced for a December sale only to find the right buyer, not because anything has changed with the car. 1996 Subaru Impreza WRX Sportswagon (GF8), JDM import, EJ20 2.0 turbo, 5 speed manual, permanent AWD. Finished in iconic Mica Blue with gold Prodrive wheels. This is the rare early WRX wagon formula, with the practicality of an estate and the 1990s rally pedigree, in a colour combination enthusiasts actively hunt for. Never welded, with original rust free panels and a very clean underside. Approaching 30 years old yet it feels tight, responsive and ready. Over 5,000 has been invested recently to make it mechanically superb and dependable. Key work includes an engine out reseal (rocker covers, sump, rear main seal, separator plate and crank seal), new clutch kit and spigot bearing, upgraded gear linkage, new fuel pump with dyno verified fuelling, cooling system flush and correct refill, new PAS and alternator belts, plus professional paint correction and wax protection with bonnet vent tops refinished and correct underside covers refitted. Most recently in Dec 2025 it received four new 215/45 R17 XL tyres, new front and rear brake pads, and a 4 wheel alignment. It runs a Kakimoto Racing stainless exhaust for the classic boxer burble and smooth boost. Unmodified interior with factory Nardi wheel and gear knob, working air conditioning, and TOAD alarm with turbo cool down timer. Seats, headlining and trim present extremely well and every switch works. Odometer shows circa 97,500 miles, rising gently with light use. MOT to June 2026 with no advisories. File of receipts and documentation. Featured in a detailed 2 part Fast and Fun YouTube review, link available on request. If it does not sell at this reduced price, I am happy to keep it and re evaluate in the new year.
