evening all,

just registered on your site after lurking for a while. I'm looking to buy an impreza...thinking about getting an sti wrx model. i'm thinking of spending about 10k.

is there any major servicing issues that appear at certain milages that i should look out for (e.g. i know some beemers can require a lot of work at around the 75k mark).

would 10k get a decent wrx or will i have to spend more?

are there any specialist insurers that like insuring scooby's at decent rates? I've got no no claims as i've not had a car for a while (been on a bike for the last year). best quote i've had for a 99 wrx (an import version) for TPFT was about 650 per annum.

welcome mate try keith micheals for insurance....

 

Think I'll buck the trend on threads like this and say forget an sti and get a P1.

 

A-Plan are very resonable for insurance, as you have no no claims it may be cheaper if you got a WRX instead of STI.

 

I just got a bitchinly nice scoob sti 6 for 9k. Just need to look around.

 

cheers for replys folks, guess i'll start trawling the small ads for a bargain

 

Best places for looking are Pistonheads, Autotrader and Ebay. All online of course. I'd pretty much limit my main searches to these 3 places, of course there is Scoobynet too.
