Default Possible new owner help (Norfolk area)

Hi,

Well, I'm about to take the plunge and buy a Subaru Impreza!

Its an excellent condition 2003 STi type UK with some prodrive extras! 60,000 on the clock.

I'm from an Evo and Supra background so my knowledge is limited, I was wondering if there is any owners in the area (Downham Market, Norfolk) who can help me, spot things that I won't etc as I will be too excited!

The car is in bury st Edmunds and I'm hoping to view it tomorrow

Dan

Well I bought it!

It was gorgeous! All major work done, load of receipts, the chap had spent every penny to keep on top of it.

I fell in love right away!

2 issues which I was aware of which I'm ok with, it's at 59k miles so due its 60k service and needs two rear bushes.

Can anyone recommend someone for the job in the area? (Norfolk)

Thanks!

Plans... I have some but I love the car for what it is so I mainly plan to keep it in tip top condition. The chap spent 2k on a sound system with flip out head unit etc which isn't my cup of tea so will sell all that!

Um, it has a pro drive exhaust on it now but thinking of the nur spec r...?

The cheaper the service the better but that figure was off the net, Subaru are charging £700!

Hopefully picking her up today if anyone want to come have a look
