i would ask about some subaru forum's as these cars will be well known
to club members and people can let you know how good or not they are.
prob get a well sorted one for them same money as a dealer will charge you for a standard one, just a thought.

There seems to be quite a mark up at the dealers. I bought private and have been very happy, used DEKRA to check out the car first. Worked out a lot cheaper than going to an import specialist. That said, a big one will have a nice range and you can drive them and try them out.

SNAP!

Matt23

That was what I was hoping to do really. Drive a few and see how they
Compared to my newage sti. With the the intention of selling my car to go
And buy a classic type r.

Go for it then. If theyre concentrated at one place then that makes sense to go and try them out, also avoids the private seller/test drive /no insurance issues.

Going from newage back to classic? I went the other way (admittedly uk turbo to JDM sti), fancy a change or looking for a track weapon?

Good luck

Matt23

I just fancy a change really mate. I dont really need 4 doors anymore and wanted to get another impreza, so going to a classic type R or even a P1 seemed like a possibility. But only if i can find a good first.

Matt23

I did think about these guys, but i remember reading a thread on here not to long ago saying that they were cowboys and a load of people had bad stories about them.

While I'm no expert aren't there prices off by about 3k? I've seen loads advertised at 3.5-5k for the same stuff.

Matt23

I think so mate.

Would say they are a little high as expected from a dealership. Not had any dealings with them so cant comment. Worth a trip to try a few if nothing else surely?

I agree their prices are a little high.

Matt23

Yeah maybe worth a look. Nothing to lose I suppose

if price reflects its condition then go have a look.....

i assume you have already driven a type r and a p1 ?

Wolf_gsxr

A little? The only time you should ever see a 9k sign on a classic is if the words 400+ bhp, forged engine and really low miles are in the add. The only advantage I see buying from a place like this is if it's just been imported you know some Chav hasn't ran it on 95 for years and maybe no rust.

Matt23

I drove a P1 when they first came out, so whats that 10 or so years ago, but never driven a type R.
