22B: 10 -> 11k

[Guest]

Note,

Being de-rego this car now needs to be complied I would think

Thinking about that, does it meet current import law?

[slystiguy]

Agreed about just replacing it with other parts aye.. .. if your spending the big $$ may as well go with a non crashed one.

If its been registered in NZ before I thought it could be revinned at any time?

im surprised the owner doesn't buy it back?!?!

[cornf3]

anyone going to the auction. i would like to know what it goes for

[BLAZD]

yeah ill probably go to have a look

[cornf3]

Ok . ill be at work and i dont think the boss would like me being online watching the auction.

Be great if you post the final price. How many interested parties etc...

[BLAZD]

can do, if it goes silly silly low ill have a bid.

[madmike]

Maybe i should pop down for a look tomorrow..

Could do with having another Subaru in the family..

4 cars would be a nice round number..

2 for me 2 for Linda..

[Johnnynz]

LIKE ^^^

[caspros]

Wonder what it went for . .

[cornf3]

went for 19k to a local wrecker who is going to rebuild it. And insurance co advised that their was no chassis damage just suspension damage.

[GC8E2DD]

Interesting. A guy I know who went and talked to Armstrong about it (was seriously considering buying it), was told specifically that the chassis would need to be straightened. Who to believe I wonder! Who indeed.

[cornf3]

Yes. will the insurance assessor told me their was no chassis damage. Buyers tactics to scare off prospective buyers. At 20k its still a cheap 22B and as i said before one could rebuild it with aftermarket parts and have it road worthy for 40k

[cornf3]

did you see the auction?

[GC8E2DD]

Nope, didn't see the auction, but I don't see what Armstrong would have to gain by putting buyers off - unless they bought it themselves? I suspect that the owner who crashed it into a ditch on a gravel road down south (treating the Danseys as a SS perhaps?) took it to Armstrong to assess the damage (or the insurance company got them to do it on behalf). Perhaps we should ask Liam.

[cornf3]

o well its sold now. I see in latest performance car mag they was a 22B in there NZ performance car park with the plate BAD22B anyone here no the owner or the car?

Def not driving like it was a SS, was taken to one panelbeater (Well known Wellington Shop ) who said that hey did not have the gear to do the job as needed.

Hence it ended up at Arlington's, Armstrongs quoted as they are the supplier for genuine Sti/Prodrive parts. $25k+gst for parts (below trade price) - the rest was panel and paint

So my guess is 19k for the wreck + 28.7k parts (inc gst) =$37.7k plus panel and paint - est $48-$55k repaired plus compliance

[CUDDAS]

That's a nice one in the performance car park

That tis right. it is I who has bought my dream subie. It's gonna be one road trip I'll be looking forward to. I have been talking to Kimble on ph an he was very helpful for me with history etc. Will be trying to restore it as quickly as my budget and good friends can so I can experience the joy of such car. Trust me it will be back to its former glory again.

[cornf3]

I would like to see pics when its finished. are you going to use new or second hand parts?
