Im looking to buy my 1st Subaru, I have a budget of £4000 pushing £4500.
I have no idea the type of Subaru to go for...i like the look of this one above.
Can anyone advice me in any way on what kind of car to go for??

Im not 100% sure but looks like a V5 coupe. Probably a little out of your price range. I paid £5000 for my classic import,For £4500 you should be able to get a tidy import wrx or an early uk spec car in good condition

The top one is a Type R, you'll need a lot more money than £4-4.5k for one of them! The bottom one is a 4 door so thats obviously not a type R as they were only ever 2 doors, the bottom one could well be a type RA, not sure if you could get one of those on your budget as I've never really taken the time to see what the RA's are going for.

for £4000-4500 you should be able to get a very decent uk spec around 98-99my.
the later my98 and 99s had a different interior dash, updated from bumper (2 slats not three) and most importantly 4 pot brakes on the front.
i bought my my99 for £3900 last december but with 120k on the clock, with 50 on the second engine.
usually better going for a average-low miler if your looking at 10k plus miles a year. wouldnt say i regret buying a higher mileage car as the bodywork was in mint condition, but perishables and wear/tear kick in, unless your planning major mods. for instance, my gearbox (probably original) is on its way out, and i have a noisy tappet problem, which for the hassle will require a bottom end rebuild...

Hey thats my car in the first link
View my Scooby
It's a version 5, skirts are standard but with splashguards on them. Have removed them now anyay. I would consider letting it go but it would have to be considerably more than £5k.

If I was in a position where I wanted to sell it, I wouldn't let it go for less than £9k.
