Autotrader - SUBARU IMPREZA sti 2.0 turbo

I emailed the guy and asked if there was any history or proof of mileage to which he said:

Is this normal? or should i forget it? i might go and have a look at it saturday and possibly test drive it, only problem is i have never driven a scooby or even a turbo for that matter, any tips? even if this isnt worth the cash id still like to check it out etc as it will offically the first scooby i go to look at.

Thanks in advance

where abouts are you buying it from?

My to cents on this: I'd suggest you take a look at it, but do not immediately jump into a buy :) I'm saying this as I do not know what cars have you driven before, but if you didn't drive smth strong, you might be tempted to buy the first scoob you'll try - I know as I had that 3 years ago, coudn't stop driving the testcar....

Find some other similar specced cars and test drive a few more, then you'll have a base of comparison.

chocolate_o_brian, the car/garage is in Tamworth, about 3 mins from my house.


maci yeh thats good advice, i have never driven anything like a scoob so i know i will be tempted instantly, the good thing is its going to be a few weeks until i can actualy decide and buy. I am more worried about looking like a fool due to been nervos/exicted/anxious about driving it.

A big thing thats bugging me is can a car like that one, scooby.. be used as "just a car" - i work from home so i hardly drive at all anyway, but for the times i do drive i want it to be the scooby.. but i dont want to buy a car thats going to cost a bomb to run.. but surely if i hardly drive the running costs cant be that bad? for example now... £40 fuel in my 1.1 saxo (i know, i know) will last probley.... a month or more.

I used £70 in my 95 JDM WRX between 9pm fri night and 3am sunday morning :)

Went no further than 20 miles from my home... yet covered around 260 miles...

With a heavy right foot I get 180 miles to the tank (50 litres) ... with an easy right foot I get around 310... but that's boring ;)

I knew before I bought it it wasn't going to be an economical car, and expected around 20mpg. I bought it back in november and has cost me a few bob, mainly due to my own unnecessary modding, clutch went in it before xmas which didn't help the bank balance.
