Default looking to buy first subaru

Hi im looking to buy my first impreza within next month or so im hoping to get a nice blob or hawk for around £5.5 & £6k was just wondering what sort of things o shoukd be wary of when buying as I have not got a clue. My ideal car would be 54, 55 plate sti but really like the hawk eye to although ive saw 06 models with 36k on clock for less than £6k just seems to good to be true. Any help would be much appreciated. ;-)

Yeah I spoke to a guy with 55 plate sti and he said that was a common fault with just the sti. Im baffled as to what is best to buy ie sti , ppp esp on a budget of £6k although I am expecting to travel for right one , thanks badger. ;-)

I dont think you will find a hawk sti for that budget. I've got one of the last blob eyes and I wouldnt let it go for that. I think you will get a very good bugeye sti or early blob.

hold out or the right car mate, but at 6k you will get a 2003 - 2004 sti, i you want a good one.
Go or enthisiast owned, as that goes a long way to ensuring it has been looked after by someone who knows how to treat them good.

regular services are important and good oil when changing the oil.

Default Just what you've been looking for.....?

Still looking for the perfect Impreza......?

I've got a Concours Example Prodrive Style Sti Bugeye with only 29k miles and full service history.

Totally unmolested, and as new!

Only a handful of miles away too?

Interested, if so let me know.

Not cheap, but the best in the country, guaranteed!
