I have seen a scooby for sale at dealership which i,m thinking of buying, only problem it is white.
What are your thoughts on white.
It is a my98 with 52000 miles for £11995. I am also worried about the piston slap on my98 cars. How much of an issue is it.
Cheers

hi,

If you look in the for sale section you will find loads of cars that have most of the time been looked after very well...

£11995 seems a little expensive but i suppose these are dealer prices...

see here:

or a 1999 model:

Nothing wrong with white subaru's, its just that, i've heard there is a new law coming at as soon as next April, that All Taxis have to be white... unless you already are a Taxi driver and have a car...in that case you have to change your car within 4 years from that date to a White One...

hope that didnt put u off lol, atleast u'll get people pulling u over more often!

there is a white My01 WRX going for 13k in the for sale section!

thats only 1k more than you are looking at!

It seems white is harder to sell. buy a car off here is good advice as you will save a packet. I got my MY00 for 12k on here. mail me if you wnat any tips regarding finance/inspection etc.

cheers

Piston Slap usally happens in the first 10-20K, 52K is quite a few miles so should be ok. Check to see if its had piston slap repaired and make sure you get warranty.
Cheers.
