Hello,

I'm new to the forum and impreza's.

I'm currently in the process of selling my Evo to release some money and am looking at getting a classic impreza.

Ideally I want a 2door but what should I be looking at for my budget of around 6k?

Is it stupid to dismiss the uk 4 doors?

Are non-forged at this age a no go~?

Thanks

David.

If you have 6k you could get a mint sti v6 !

badwool

excellent - this is what I was looking at -

there is a v nice P1 on the autotrader for £7995 low miles too - is that over priced?

Thanks

problem with p1's is there a toned down type r

badwool

ah ok, didnt realise this.

Thanks.

I've sent an email to the one in scotland asking for a breakdown of the engine spec.

The price of particular classics are certainly on the rise like the P1, STI Type R & RA etc.

Having said that this does appear to be overpriced in my opinion but others may see it differently.

After much searching I managed to find an STI Type R & in my experience it is not advisable to be too influenced by the pics, sales talk or even a description by the owner unless they are a proven person on here & have a love for their cars.

Also make sure you know the potential pitfalls when looking for an older car whether it be a classic or otherwise.

Good luck in your search.

The one linked says it's a Type R not P1

Tidgy

no the one above my post lol

that blue type r has been up for a while, not sure why its not been snapped up?

badwool

should I ask to see if anyone is local to it and would mind checking it out?

fopr beer tokens?

Tidgy

there was a thread on type-ra.com and im sure that car got mentioned, trying to find it but not having much luck

All I will say is read post 16 of this thread http://passionford.com/forum/general...ed-beware.html before contacting that dealer.

badwool

If you can that would be great!


Ok thnks for the info - to be honest that was more than I wanted to pay.

Torque GT have an earlier P1 in.

There was a thread on here with a link to that car.
Apparently someone went to view it, said it looked like it had a repair on the rear quarter panel, so they were put off. I think the poster of that thread was after a mint one, so don't know how bad it was.

Search on this site for a thread with type r in it, it was a fairly recent thread.

badwool

what are your thoughts on this?

Strange it's got an airbag as mine doesn't, maybe it was a factory option.

badwool

stunning car though eh?

and the condition seems top drawer!

I may be mistaken but I'm sure this one has been up for sale sometime. May be worth a phone call though.

badwool

trying to get hold of them now.

Tidgy

airbag was a 'factory delete' option, steering wheel is strange though

badwool

maybe its different on the 555 model?
