Default Help with next impreza

Hi all,
Currently on my third Impreza, hawk sti.
Had it three years now and will be putting it through mot in the next week and then up for sale.
That means it's time for number 4!
Not keen on the hatch soooooo what does that leave me with?!
Looking to spend around £15,000 for the right car.
Any advice / recommendations would be great!
Thanks, Sam

For that amount of money I'd look for a low milage, well equipped jdm blob.
Something like this:

This one.
Definitely this one. Low miles and limited edition S204 JDM in your price range.

True motorhub don't have a great reputation. Which is a shame as they advertise some great cars.
I'll probably have a look at hurst motors in Bedford then it's time to change, I haven't heard too much bad about them.

Trying to think of the other garage in Keighley that had a bad reputation but cant remember it, unless they've re-branded to motorhub.

You could also just treat them as you would some random seller on ebay. Take along a professional mechanic to do an inspection, see if you can get a 3rd party warranty, work out likely cost of failures and negotiate accordingly.

It's a cat d, so it's all about what happened to it and how it was repaired. Potentially it's a real bargain, but I'd make sure it comes with a watertight warranty and I'd also want an inspection from a reliable 3rd party.

Not too keen on the hatch so it needs to be one of the last 2 models!
