Buying bugeye scoob... advice?
 

Hello everyone,
I unfortunately sold my 97 turbo2k last year, and now that I am getting married in just over 3 weeks :brickwall I may have the possibility of getting another scoob for the wedding/honeymoon. The honeymoon is a 1000 mile round trip around south/sw england and south wales, with some very nice roads!

I would like some advice as to what to look out for with bugeyes - body, engine etc.

I am finding it hard to get a happy medium i.e. handling, comfort, space against brute power. I am to blame as my classic was very noisy and had very modified suspension! :lol1:

We have narrowed it down to a wrx sti V7 which I am looking at tomorrow and a normal wrx on Saturday.

Any pointers will be helpful, thank you please! ;)

Knocking rear struts, rusty parts underneath, slipping clutch, listen for knocking on start up (cold engine) also regular oil changes/service history are good to see. JDM have higher spec in standard form. :thumb:

Cheers for that! Fingers crossed I may come home with it tomorrow :luxhello:

Have a good look under the evaparator at the metal work there. I have recently replaced mine. Not a massive job but one less that you could do with.

Not to sound thick but whereabouts is that? Haven't owned a car with a/c!!

Just to let you all know I am now a very happy owner of a STI V7 :luvlove::luvlove:
