New member, Hi all :)
Hi to everyone,
I've just registered as I'm looking at getting my first Impreza this week. Hope I'm posting in the right section (I'm sure a moderator will quickly let me know). I've always been a member of owners forums, most recently for a couple of BMW's, always finding them a great source of fun and help. I've made my decision to finally get round to buying a car that I've always wanted. I have looked in the advice section for buyers and have a little bit of common sense but not the specific knowledge of Subaru's to know which I should choose. My budget is £4500 possibly stretching to £6500 if it was a real bargain. I've got my eye on a couple and would like to hear any and all input or even if someone has a vehicle that might be right. Many thanks in advance and I look forward to becoming a regular on these pages. Tony. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...31at?logcode=p http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2341730.htm http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...s/30?logcode=p |
Hi Tony
Whats is your preference Bugeye or Blob with £6500 you can probably stretch to a Blobeye Sti UK with average miles. |
hi mate,i wouldnt recomend the first one as its at ktc!
they dont have the best rep in the jap car world,iv been a few times and the cars are a bit ropy to say the least. any way good look in your search pal.! |
u have pm
|
Thanks for the reply's
I prefer blob to bugeye but it's not a major issue, if the car as a package was right I'd take either. I've got the cash and could drive away the black 53plate tomorrow. I'm just a little worried about the mileage and that I don't really know what to look for on that age and model? |
im after a scooby myself, and personally avoiding high mileage ones

Welcome mate....
I would say that even though your cash ready, I wouldn't jump at the first one ya see. It's defo a buyers Market at the mo. Although the black 53 plate looks sweeeeet |

If traders are listing them them for £6995 whats wrong with haggling the price or dont people do that any more?

I test drove the black 53 plate today and was very impressed (first ever time in an Impreza). It had a full service history, lots of receipts for work (including a new clutch 6 months ago).
I would like to know if anyone knows if I should be worried about a slight squeak I heard from the engine bay. It sounded like it was coming from a belt, the dealer assured me it was because of the cold weather and very little use in the past week or so. Does anyone have any info on this please? Also if there's anything in particular I should look for on that specific model? I very nearly put a deposit down there and then but kept my sensible head on and waited to ask you guys. Thanks again. |
Hi get a mechanical report on it if you are unsure and walk a way if you are unsure there are plenty of cars out there, as you said use your head and not your heart. You can`t beat a well sorted subaru smile every time you drive it:thumb:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2316498.htm If it's a good 'un then why not :) |
Ok, the only thing I will say is that you will travel to get a good one, if you dont then you could just end up with some pile of junk :(
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2278891.htm This next one is interesting ;) http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2356901.htm Also do a search on here, there was a black 2002 STI for sale in manchester for a good price. Tony:) |
Thanks again all,
I went ahead and bought the black 53 plate. I'll post pic's soon. Will also be asking a lot of questions too probably. |
