The TK wagons are rare buddy and I personally think they look better than its saloon brother. Still not a very desired car though as their looks do not appeal to many.
£1500 seems a fair price depending on its overall condition, miles covered, spec and history.
It's an old car now so be sure to have a thorough look over it. Rear arches especially as these are the normal rust area, also not a cheap job to fix properly. Make sure it's been serviced regulary and that the engine sounds as it should.
How many miles has it covered ?

Remember, there are literally thousands of imprezas out there for sale now so if it isn't right, move on.

tk as the best front bumper ever rare as rockin horse **** aps i have one my scooby but as the above said if it not rust free and looks and sound ropey then move on dude but if it is clean and sounds then by as it is a rare beasty

MattyB1983 07 April 2012 02:48 PM

They are rare (400 made I think) but as I said earlier, not very desirable. The looks are not to many people taste.

Be sure it's a proper TK car as some people just stuck the bumpers on and claimed they had a TK. The dials should be orange, TK intercooler, badge on rear and plaque in engine bay. Should also have a TK badge on the steering wheel I think.

i must admit the rear spoliers and rear bumper of the tk sallon was nasty but come the frotn bumper is the nuts

A-Plan insurance are very good with Subaru quotes , really worth giving them a try.

Acquired taste - Personally I think they look hideous but each to their own

all the tyres where bald and the front bumper was held on with cable ties
ok it was only £970 .00 i only got £1100 and now im not going to get something really good but some people just try and take the p?ss

so i said no driving home in my mates mk 4 golf tdi what happens the turbo goes
so spent most of my birthday sat on the m62 great times
so im still looking for a wagon

MattyB1983 09 April 2012 05:34 PM

Hate to say it buddy but for circa £1000 your not gonna get a great car. Maybe worth thinking about holding back for a while and saving a few more £££
