P1 purchase?
Would very much appreciate some advice please. I have an opportunity to
purchase a July 2001 Y registered P1 with 26,000 miles on the clock FMDSH from a local Subaru dealer (need to decide tonight!). It has 3 previous owners - 2 of which in the last 12 months. Car was last serviced in April last year at 24,000. From what I can see, car is in absolutely first class condition (no scuffs on wheels etc) so what do you think? The number of previous owners concerns me a little. Price is £ 20,000.
I have also seen an EVO7 with similar miles FSH but only 1 owner.
P1 or EVO?

I thought the service intervals on the classic shape were 6,000 miles or 6 months , if it was serviced last in April last year it's missing one from October . Perhaps to p1 was different , Il'd check first if I were you might be able to get some money off etc

P1 service intervals are 7.5K or 6 months so it has missed a service and is due for another one. Personally I would give it a miss, price is a bit high but more concen is why has it not been serviced?

Stick with the P1 idea and look for other cars. There probably will be a few on www.subaru.co.uk and www.ixm.co.uk and www.autotrader.co.uk not to mention the few that are bound to be on here for sale.
