Default New member looking to buy. Know this car??

Hi all, just want to say hi to you all

I've wanted an Impreza since I can remember and now I can finally afford to insure one! So as you can imagine I'm rather giddy!

I've been to view one today in High Wycombe, it's a 54 plate WRX but has STi bumpers etc and I think I've fallen in love.

I was just wondering if anyone knows any history about the car, i.e previous owner etc.

I drove it etc and it seemed a decent motor to me but I don't know too much about Subarus at all! It pulled hard etc and I didn't notice any smoke on acceleration. Clutch felt good, no juddering or slipping that I felt.

He'd literally just started it up on arrival as I felt the temperature of the engine and it wasn't hot.

Here's a few pics of the car..







He says he's only had the car a month or so and took in a p/x deal with an X5 with a lad from Hemel Hempstead?

Really really like the car, just trying to sort a deal on my BMW 330d Sport Touring with him but it's all go on my half. I haven't yet HPI checked it as I thought I'd wait and see if we come to a deal first, but seemed straight!

Any info is appreciated

Cheers!

Sorry lads I should have done some more research before posting up :/

I've found the previous owner on here and have seen a project thread etc for it. Also sent him a message about it. Cheers!

Please say your first name is Carl.

Plenty of folk on here down in High Wycombe that could have a look at it for you.

Hopefully doing a p/x deal with him for my Beemer. My car plus 1k. But now he's saying he doesn't know if it's worth it :/. It definitely is lol.
