The TK wagons are rare buddy and I personally think they look better than its saloon brother. Still not a very desired car though as their looks do not appeal to many.
£1500 seems a fair price depending on its overall condition, miles covered, spec and history.
It's an old car now so be sure to have a thorough look over it. Rear arches especially as these are the normal rust area, also not a cheap job to fix properly. Make sure it's been serviced regulary and that the engine sounds as it should.
How many miles has it covered ?

Remember, there are literally thousands of imprezas out there for sale now so if it isn't right, move on.

They are rare (400 made I think) but as I said earlier, not very desirable. The looks are not to many people taste.

Be sure it's a proper TK car as some people just stuck the bumpers on and claimed they had a TK. The dials should be orange, TK intercooler, badge on rear and plaque in engine bay. Should also have a TK badge on the steering wheel I think.

Acquired taste - Personally I think they look hideous but each to their own

Hate to say it buddy but for circa £1000 your not gonna get a great car. Maybe worth thinking about holding back for a while and saving a few more £££
