Hi all,

Just this very second joined this site. I am currently in the market place for a 1999-2000 UK Spec Impreza Turbo. Insurance or anything not an issue as i've had along history of performance fords etc but its time to go jap and get something decent

Anyway, i've seen a couple of cars one of which said you guys would know alot about it so here's the link

Immaculate 1999 Subaru impreza uk turbo on eBay (end time 12-Jul-09 19:26:50 BST)

Its on there and piston heads and im very interested but im wondering if the mileage at 150k despite the rebuild would constitute a no no, i do about 200 miles a week to work and back and a bit on weekends but not much.

To be honest most parts look to me to be relatively new but should a rebuild be a point where i just say no thanks....i thought id ask the guys in the know.

Cheers all

looks neat, it states in the ad that there is a break down documentation regarding the rebuild. apart from that you should watch out that the 150k does not reflect on the bodywork.

 

I'm sure that used to belong to someone on here - C.O.B. maybe??

Whats your budget?

 

my budget is about 3-3500 for a 1999-2000 UK 2000 awd. saloon, not after a wagon.

I have seen another in derbyshire for 3000ono 83k as long as cambelt has been done it looks very tidy - standard bodywork (champagne silver) but a bit of a sleeper under the bonnet. Really looking for something this weekend to be fair too. lol. Been shopping round for a few weeks now but haven't seen a bean!

 

There is always pistonheads

This one is in derbyshire

Subaru : impreza turbo , mica blue, classic, facelift

Lancs for this one

Subaru : SUBARU IMPREZA TURBO 2000 AWD ONLY 47K 2000 On X R but says cat c

Greater manchester for this one

Subaru : Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 UK W reg 81k FSH UK CAR

Another one in derbyshire but slightly modified

Subaru : Modified UK Impreza turbo 2000 awd.

So a few in your price bracket
Just watch for those induction kits, they can break the MAF sensors which are a little sensitive on the 99/00 cars, ask if they still have the original air box (complete with all the piping) and put it back to standard.

I notice the modded one in Derbyshire has not been mapped!!

I'm still on the look out for something. I must be getting too picky.

Thanks everyone for the advice n help etc.

Who did you sell it to Jamie?

Sad to see it go

 

Was that your old one?

 

Yes mate. The red classic I had. Sold it to Jamie last June and he's just sold it a couple days ago to someone.

 

i was extremely sad choc i tried to keep that car as immaculate as you did and it never let me down it was a true pleasure to own it and a credit to you and previous owners. now im going to look at two mk1 golfs tomorrow 4hours aaway but hopefully there as good as they say. i hope to be back in a scoob soon though. hope the pug is doing well choc ill keep an eye out for our old beaut
