hey, im new..... there is a impreza wrx im after but it had its turbo go last year and it hasnt been drivin since it had a new turbo fitted by his friend recently and new pipes but he didnt have the tools to bolt the turbo on properly.....how much will this cost or how easy to do?

cheers

 

Id steer clear and get one that works especially if it has not been run for a year. it could tourn out to be more expensive than spending a bit more on a car thats running sweet. but thats only my preference. someone else my have a different answer but think its best left alone.

 

as above i also think mate, could cost you a whole lot more than just bolting a turbo on. the engine could well be shafted. plenty out there mate

Hi Daz

There are shed loads scoobs about, best shift your Vectra can go looking with a bag full of cash. Hunt around and do not buy the first you see, see a few and drive a few first.

Service history is everything (well almost, a heavily tracked car is a no-no) it does not need to be a main dealer service history either but is should come with a wadge of receitps for all of them and any enthusiast will keep them.

I would imagine there will be a lot more coming onto the market with the credit crunch and cost of fuel. watch out for unloved and poorly maintained cars tarted up for sale.
