first of all, hello !

im much a fan of anything fast,my last car was a nicely tuned 300zx Twin Turbo, which has been replaced with a kwaka zx9r....which is now for sale to fund (you guessed it) an impreza

im allowing £3.5-£4K to buy my car. now i know it wont get me a newish impreza, but im looking for a 96/97 hopefully (not bothered if its uk/import).
my question is what advice could you give me in choosing a good one?
im mates with jonoburns (a new member on here) who has some knowledge after owning 2 scoobies but thought i would see what help anyone would offer on here?

thanks in advance guys

Find a new import, will have zero rust..............

wouldnt mind an import. do they have 280bhp as opposed to the 215bhp of uk models or is this just rubbish?

yes a JDM import will be better spec and better performance than a UK - you also get a rear wiper !!!

For Sale, Scooby

Dont know if this has gone yet, noticed it a while ago on my local site. Seems ok for money.

looks a nice car but is about £700 over my max budget .
does you think you can get a good import with low miles for 3.5-4k?

im sure there's a few cars out there for your budget,but you won't be buying a minter with low miles for 4k

as long as i can get one with reasonable mileage (70k or less) i would be happy. dont mind if the bodywork needs a "bit" of tidying up as long as mechanics are sound enough.

well as soon as this bike (zx9r ninja) is sold i shall be on the hunt for a gud un!

GeeJayDoubleYou

is there any tips you guys can offer for when im looking at a car to make sure mechanics are ok?
