Default Looking at buying first Subura

Hi guys - hope I'm posting in the right forum and looking for any comments... I'm considering buying a Subaru Impreza 2500 WRX STI 330S on a 59 plate. The dealing is asking for £25,000 does this sound right? It's a low mileage vehicle covering around 5.5K. I know nothing about these cars, but it drills perfect, or should I say like a go-kart? I currently drive a Skoda Octavia VRS to this is obviously significantly more power...

Any guidance on any aspect of the purchase grately received.

Cheers
Terry

Firstly terry welcome m8

a 330s is a nice car lots of extras etc, just check the book see if the rngine is still intact and hasnt had any issues.

For 27 to 28k m8 you can have a nice new saloon like mine with the new spec C suspension , just look on scoobys site their are alot of dealer demos going for that cash

The 330s however will hold its cash as it was a special one.

either way m8 apart from a car that drinks fuel if u floor it its a mega one.

always amazes me how good it is to drive and the power compared to all the over tat ive had.

The car actually had the upgrade completed already, and had a large sticker on the side reading "320 BHP".... Sorry, I can't tell you more than that right now...Not sure how much if this has any real difference when driving, but it did feel that little bit quicker and smoother, but that could be my total imagination and lack of knowledge..

The car has now covered approx 6K miles..

I can ask the dealer for you if you wish?
