Default opinions on this uk turbo please

hi guys, seen this turbo up for sale near me, i have emailed the seller and he is only the second owner, he has owned it since 2002, he bought it from a local subaru dealership and has had it serviced by them since he bought it. its totally standard, opinions? Subaru : Subaru Impreza 2000 TURBO (classic style)

Make sure it has some service history. A 2 owner 72K Turbo should have a full service history really, maybe not all dealer based, but certainly a full history of some sort.

If it hasn't got the service book and a full history I would give it a miss personally. You cannot be too careful and other cars are out there.

In that case I reckon as long as it all looks straight when you look at it you have got yourself a good one. Yes £3200 would seem about right to me.

Thats a great find, unmolested Classic with low miles and just 2 owners. Well worth a look

Looks nice. If its as clean in the flesh as it looks in the pictures, and has full history, looks a perfect buy. Not many about like this now. :-)

It says its an MY99 but has MY00 alloys, could be worth checking out, MY00 will have interior map lights and it should have approximately 20 stamps for fssh

Colour coded mirrors and handles, say it is an MY00 snap it up if she looks good, check the chassis code, think the 8th letter is a Y on the 00 and an X on the 99 (its on the rear bulkhead below the windscreen

Blimey 15 posts in to an "opinions on this car please" thread and not a naysayer in sight! Surely that's an all-time S-Net record! FWIW I think it looks good too at that price. Let us know if you get to view it up close. Maybe you can get the vendor to e-mail you a load more photos (engine, interior, service book stamps etc) prior to visiting.

hes only 10 minutes from my house so ill just check everything in the flesh. its just like my first every scooby, same colour etc, only my one was a 99 model and had 17" alloys from the later wrx. hopefully its as good as it looks in the pictures.

Reminds me of my old one. The classic also has a 7,500 mile or 6 month service interval. Also bear in mind not all classics had the air-con option.
