Default Subaru wanted

Hi all! firstly I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right area. Apologises if not.
I'm Ashley and ive just signed up.
I'm looking to buy a Subaru wagon/estate preferably but will concider a saloon. I've around £3000 to spend.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or does anyone have anything for sale?

Thank you

I've been looking at ones around 2003 the blob eye ones. I understand with what I have to spend they're more than likely going to have high mileage.
No mate, I'm not too keen on them to be honest.

No problem. Apart from the few nasty mods I like it. Bargain price, mods can be removed.

Most will say full history. First thing I'd check is oil, level and condition. Noises, check clutch is ok not slipping and goes in gears ok. Turbo kicks in nicely. I'd also want to hear it start from cold.

If you want to do more checks search on here, many more things to check for. HPI worth doing aswell,
