Default Anybody know anything about this STI rep wagon?

Hi Guys

Looking to purchase a blobeye Impreza. I'd love an STI but simply cannot afford one. I have been looking for a while and keep coming back to this STI rep wagon. Does anybody know anything about its history? Anything to be wary about from the advert? Love the looks and the spec ticks all my boxes.

Have spoken to the owner who has confirmed a cambelt change and service history (one is due now). Everything seems OK, but thought I'd just ask on here before travelling 80 miles to view!

Should I be worried about the mileage? Lots of scooby's have high mileage so I'm guessing they run well as long as they have been maintained.

Thanks

Tom

Looks a nice enough wagon, styling wise very nice. They didnt make a sti 8 wagon so not really a replica would be a little bit worried if it is not been remaped as hes got d/v and caik

1st ad is rather vague and there are loads around with lower mileage; stick with buying from an enthusiast on here if you are not sure. Wagons rule!!!

Cold air induction kit I guess?

Would have thought with only bolt on mods a remap wasn't essential? Was on my plan list to do anyway though.

The wagon in the second link looks nice also but is a fair distance from me

Worth the travel for the right car. Top mount has been swapped for sti one. Remap essential.

this is the one to spend your cash on
