Hey Guys, just joined, looks like you've got a nice site going on here, Looking to buy my first impreza in a few months, after a UK Spec jobbie 4x4 2.0 Turbo. Got about £5-6k to spend so hopefully should be able to get something

Have to wait till I'm 21 though buggers won't insure me at the moment anyone giving me an advice on buying an impreza then

bits'n'pieces

I would suggest you look around the M or N reg mark for the price you want to spend.

Suppose the first question to ask is when are you going to be 21? Not much point advising you now if you're only 18...

Only other thing maybe worth pointing out, is that if they won't insure you at all ATM, are you prepared to cover the premium when they decide they will insure you?

Id like to know the info hes asking for too, I have the same budget, everything seems to be about K,L maybe and M... unless u start to look at wagons, I can get very cheap insurance 23 paying £800 consdering I have points accident and only 1 NCB I think that spritty good been looking at scoobs myself as a "sensible car" that has some good pace to it.. just want something I can stick the golf clubs in the boot and still have room...lol at the minute the little 5 tubby doesnt have much room in her

I'm considering an Impreza Wagon and have a budget of £6K too. I've seen quite a few UK facelift P and R reg cars with FSSH but 90K to 100K miles for about that. Scoobs seem to wear miles well so 100K doesn't bother me but I'm not interested in the 130+ jobs around. I know there are issues with some suffering from piston slap so have to be careful. Not bothered about tuning too much as the Wagon is a compromise for me anyway (family man) so don't intend going mad with it.

i'm 21 in february, so hopefully not long now, i've got a 106 at the moment, haven't really looked into insurance at the moment though I have no points never made a claim and in december i get 3 years no claims (a 16v nova project went a bit wrong and couldn't finish it so I canceled a policy half way through losing me the 4th years no claims I should have had. I'll probably be looking at around £1100 fully comp form some of the quotes I've got, considering all me mates will be pottering around in puntos and R5s to me, thats a good insurance quote. Thats only through tesco, i will try some other companys first obviously see if I can get it down to £850 - £900

Try Direct Line. I got my first Scoob in September, 03 STi type uk

My insurance is £780, then again I have got full no claims and am female and over 30 (just!!) but also have points for speeding.

I had a problem getting insured as I have never driven a high performance car. I had a 206Gti which I traded in for the STi.

i'd agree charlie WRXSTI, give direct line a try, i'm 22 with classic WRX import paying £1300, tesco wanted to charge me £1700, i've had a lot of problems with trying to get insurance with mods.

Danny 5door

ok I will give them a try, heard CIS are supposed to be fairly good? I live in the lowest crime rate postcode area as well so that should give me a hand!

1stscooby

give privilage a try im 29 full n/c but my wive is only 24 only cost £550 but had traker fitted tescos wanted £650

Neilo

dont bother with direct line or privaledge , i tried but as i was only 22 they wouldnt even quote, tesco's is on the same system and they did.......work that one out. im paying literally a few quid over a grand for an 03 wrx, with tesco's.
