On the look out
Hello everyone, I soon hope to be in the market for my first Impreza. I will have about £6k to spend on a year 1999-2001 classic shape.
Is there anything in particular that I should be aware of asking about, when I go to view one.
Any advice or links to information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Another question, are JDM imports usually more powerful and more robust than UK versions?
I was just wondering whether possible higher insurance premiums might be worth it if the car is genuinely better than a UK one.

There is something I forgot to mention, how are they for parts and servicing?

Parts and servicing are okay, can't quote a price but dealers with service both UK and JDP in my experience.
There's plenty for sale at the moment, so you can take your time and gete a good one at a good price.

I paid about £200 for a full service at Special Scoobies in Colchester who are an excellent independent Subaru specialist.
A few years back I paid £750 for a cambelt service at Haddocks, the Subaru garage in Colchester. Special Scoobies later told me they would have charged about £450 for the same service.
If you let us know where you are, I'm sure someone can recommend a local specialist to visit.
I don't see any point in taking an 8 year old car to a Subaru dealer, you're just throwing your money away as far as I can see.
