Also ive heard horror stories of the hawkeye but do these problems arise when the car is being hammered on a daily basis?

 

I think the problematic Hawks are the 2.5's.

 

Looks nice car, I would want to see its service history, no mention in advert.
That's no hawk so you wont have any engine problems.

 

The link is a blob. The problem cars are the hawks with the 2.5.

 

yes sorry ive typed that badly lol im aware that the car in the ad is a blob but i was also considering a hawk

 

Considering a hawk is fine chap, as long as you consider an engine rebuild at the same time

 

Seems to be pot luck if the engine goes pop in the hawk, some have done over 100, 000 with no problem, some don't make it over 30,000. Driving style doesn't seem to make any difference.
Also the hawk is in a higher tax band, you'll be looking at around £500 a year.

 

that one is a bit over priced tbh

 

Expensive.

 

Cheaper with best offer & 20k miles less although it does need the stickers removing but it has Brembos!

If your lucky you can find a early hawkeye that's the cheaper tax band but unless you've had a blob already then there's no point getting a hawk. You wil probably end up having concerns about the engine and there's nothing wrong with a blob wrx.

 

Way overpriced, no mention of history, a month mot and a bit more tax, I'd walk away you can get a lot better from the private sector

 

Racing tyres too! My 05 WRX with 57k cost me £4750 nearly a year ago.

 

Just slicks!

 

I would really want a decent warranty included for that price. Also check that there is no leakage in the boot, very common when fitting an aftermarket STi spoiler. Also looks like a bit of rust on the wheel arch in one of the pictures.

There are plenty decent cars out there for £5k, another thing to remember, a standard WRX isn't exactly blisteringly fast.

 

thanks for all the advice guys, what examples of sub 5k blobs can you guys find?

 

my eyes are awful mate where is the rust?

 

thoughts on this please?
