DRIFT

Hi people
I'm new here so can you please tke it easy on me.

I'm buying a subaru impreza 2000 u.k spec. The car has 100,000 miles, but it does have a engine rebuilt 10k ago. The car sound amazing, very good engine. Its even got a STI bottom end.

What I want to know is it worth buying the car?

Does a rebuilt increase car value??

How do you know it has a STI bottom end ?

If the rebuild has been done by a reputable garage and you can see
all the receipts for the rebuild plus recent services then yes it would
be a good prospect.

Have an AA or RAC inspection done to be sure.

Does the rebuilt increase the value of the car?, only done rebuilt 10k ago.

I would'nt say it makes a whole lot of difference but it would be
peice of mind for you if it's been done properly.

Obviously things like gearbox, suspension and brakes have all done
the quoted 100,000 unless these have been overhauled at some point.

well the tyres and pads are very newish, so there fine. Gearbox is fine. Upgrated fuel pump. Replaced head gasket.
what u think?
He wants £5600 for the car, but it is nice done.
