Hi All,
I'm looking for some general hints and tips for new to scooby buyers.
I'm looking at an Impreza Estate WRX 2.0 Turbo, 2002 reg with 74k on the clock. A few very minor marks on the paint, certainly a lot less than you'd expect on a car thats 8 years old.
With full service history it had its cam belt changed at 71k. Air con is ice cold and the interior is unmarked practially showroom condition.
So, as you can probably tell I'm pretty convinced already, however this is the first scooby I have seen and driven. Is there anything you guys would advise I should be investigating, asking, checking before putting my money on the table.
Thanks
Pete

ask if the front oxygen sensor has been replaced they start to go around that age and milage nearly £300 from the dealers but you can do it yourself for around 150 but if its well looked after they are a solid car

oh and if its has a tracker fitted ask if the battery has been changed recently (even if not active) as they tend to be a problem draining the main battery as the tracker battery prob be gone by now

No tracker fitted, its completely factory standard appart from the moretti headlight conversion which if I'm right was an option with the "bug-eye" models.
