Hi all just registered with scoobynet my names marc and im from the west midlands im planning on buying my first subaru in the new year and just wondering what to look out for when purchasing,im looking for around a 2006 plate wrx and what price should I be looking to spend ive got about £6k-£7K to spend.

 

Don't spend £6-7k on a 2006 WRX. They are selling cheaper than that now. Pains me to say it as I actually own and use one daily that I love.

The 2.5 engine has it's problems, but in the WRX it is generally pushed less and fails less than the 2.5 STI models.

Lovely cars, I still love mine. Should get a cracker of a car with your budget.
Good luck!

Nice car for the money this and comes with the better 6 speed box, better 2.0 engine etc. and right colour!

 

Looks a decent motor for a 53 plate

 

Would you reccomend dealer or private ? I know you pay a bit more from dealer but could sometimes get a warrenty

 

Looks a reasonable car even at dealer prices to be honest.

 

Welcome to Scoobynet,with that budget you should find a lovely Impreza
Good luck in your search.
