Default Thinking of buying- What do you guys think?

I am thinking of buying this- Subaru : !!very nice impreza!!

What do you guys think to it? What sort of cash is it worth and what do you think to the modifications and engine rebuild its had etc. Also what do I need to be looking out for when viewing this car?

Cheers!

Agreed! Leave it alone fella. Suggest you look in for sale section here. I'll do a search for you to see what comes up.

Its a bit pricey for a 52 plate wrx,if it were the sti then it may have been worth a look.

Am i right in thinking that this car has a reconditioned td04,if so will really struggle to make 300 bhp,unless its a hybrid. I personally would not spend 6.5k on 8 yr old wrx,far better off buying an sti imho.
