Description
I am regrettably selling due to the needing the money to grow my business.
For sale is my 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX Hawkeye 2.5 turbo, finished in the classic WR Blue.
The car has covered approximately 112000 miles and comes with a good amount of service history and paperwork. It has been maintained and improved during my ownership, with a number of sensible performance and reliability upgrades.
The car starts, runs and drives well, pulls strongly through the gears and sounds exactly how a Subaru should. It has a Stage 1+ remap, upgraded exhaust system and an uprated clutch, making it a very quick and enjoyable road car.

The car has been looked after mechanically and I have tried to deal with issues properly rather than ignoring them.
Bodywork
As expected for a nearly 20-year-old performance car, the bodywork is not perfect. There is some lacquer/paint deterioration around the boot and spoiler area, along with marks to the bonnet and other age-related imperfections. These have been reflected in the price.
The underside, arches and common rust areas are worth viewing in person, but overall it presents well and gets plenty of attention.
Interior
The interior is in good condition for its age, with supportive STI-style seats, an upgraded head unit and additional gauges. There may be the occasional age-related mark, but it remains a comfortable and enjoyable place to be.
