Looking at buying an impreza. But who do I buy from? Theres a dealer near me called Jap cars who's selling a K reg WRX for 5 and half grand. Which is about the same as some people are selling theirs for on here. But with a dealer I get a 12 month warranty.

Would it be better buying from a dealer with warranty or private?

Cheers

Private. I bought my 95 with a few mods for just under £5500 and probably less mileage than your dealer one.

There are bargains out there. Have you looked at importing yourself. Thats how i did mine

Its a lot of hassle though. I couldn't drive my car for about 2 months. The SVA takes ages to book and you will fail it the first time. Oh then there's a matter of registering it and stuff.

Here's a hint, just because you passed an MOT, doesn't mean that you'll pass the SVA easily..

I live in the North East of England, and I`ve looked on Auto Traders web site, in the free Auto exchange and Auto Freeway weekly books, and there seems to be a major shortage of Scoobs around my area. I was going to say ones that I could afford, but it`s just a general shortage, most prices.

I don`t know whether this is because the people up here already have them and don`t want to part with them, or nobody this far North has discovered them yet(!!).

I`ve tended to buy my recent cars from garages, but when I look at the mark ups on the few Scoobs around here, compared to ones in the For Sale section on this board, it`s frightening.

I have been wary of buying private with all the tales you hear of cut and shuts, and knicked motors being sold on, but I suppose if you do a bit of homework, it should be ok.

Looks like I`m going to have to travel 200+ miles just to get my hands on one. I`m hoping it`ll be worth it.

Now, who`s got one I can afford??

i have looked at about 20 scoobs in the last few weeks most of which were dealers and to be honest they are all fecked and thrashed to death so i will be looking at private sellers next as the dealers tend to overprice the cars and dont maintain them at all.

The warranties from so called "dealer" cars arent worth the paper theyre written on, go private and save yourself a few quid.
