2002 Subaru Impreza 2nd Gen Bugeye

This 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX has been with its current owner for the past 10 years and is finished in silver over a black cloth interior. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission driving all four wheels, and the odometer displays 197,351 kilometres indicated. The early 2000s “bug-eye” Impreza WRX represented a significant step in Subaru’s performance lineage, bringing World Rally Championship influence to a road-going platform. Known for its turbocharged boxer engine, symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and strong tuning potential, the WRX quickly became one of the defining Japanese performance sedans of its era. The GD-series WRX combined everyday usability with genuine performance capability, helping cement Subaru’s reputation among enthusiast drivers worldwide. The vehicle has been owned for approximately a decade by the current owner and has been serviced by a local independent mechanic, with the most recent service completed last week. Original service books are not available. Mechanically, the vehicle is reported to drive well with no known faults or warning lights. The owner describes the car as feeling tight on the road and operating as intended. Externally, the paint presents with some minor marks that may respond to polishing. Hairline cracks are noted in the paint on the rear bumper, and the rear spats would benefit from repainting. Overall presentation is consistent with a vehicle of this age and mileage. Inside, the black cloth interior presents in good condition with a couple of marks noted on the rear seats. The owner notes the cabin would benefit from a general interior detail, though all electronics and interior functions are reported to operate correctly. A number of aftermarket items are fitted, including decals applied by a previous owner, a vortex generator, lip spoiler, aftermarket tail lights and an XForce exhaust system. The car also sits on TE37-style wheels fitted with Rays lug nuts, though the authenticity of the wheels cannot be verified. To the owner’s knowledge, the vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and has not undergone any restoration work.
