There are also none on autotrader.

Legacy?

It's a Subaru Legacy 2.2 BG7 GX

It's lowered 40mm on bilstein shocks and tein springs. There's no splitter on the front anymore... Sheffield roads do that.
I've got a set of alloys in the car with the standard shocks and the cars on steels with winter tyres.
Full leather interior too.
Not too shabby for £650!

what's the drive like ?

Good.  I've not really taken it out as I drove it on TPO insurance back from the seller.
Waiting until the Clio's sold before I swap the insurance over.  But it feels quite surefooted even with a boot full of wheels and suspension.
The Clio seemed to slide at any given opportunity, but this is good :D

That's £200 down the pan for a new filler neck!

Well, the clio sold without a hitch.
Since then, the Soopah's Subaru Sanctury (or so it seems) has undertaken the following.

New fuel filler neck
New electric window regulator
New door lock solenoid
Currently at the garage having the blowing exhaust repaired and a different backbox fitting (Same exhaust tip though) with backpressure more suited to a N/A car.
Thursday, it will be getting it's clutch replaced.

Still to do:
Change speakers - So holey!
Replace rear washer check valve so the rear window doesn't get washed when I accelerate.
Sort oil leak from either front crank seal or rocker cover.
Align the window properly, as it tilts a bit when it lowers
Drive!

So all in all, with purchasing I reckon this will have cost me around £1200.

I do have 3 40pt kegs under the stairs waiting for my next batch of homebrew.
Which will cost around £22 per 40pts :D
