hi everyone

I'm thinking of buying a second hand impreza, say 93/94. My insurance quotes are too high for an imported WRX (£2500+ !!!!!) so I'm going with a UK spec car. The trouble is, I don't know much about them. I don't really know what dodgy signs to look for ie. turbo/clutch conditions, smoke form the exhaust etc. If anyone can give me some handy tips or even let me give them a call I would be very grateful.

Cheers

Mul

Yeah nice one Kevin
I've told you I'll help you when you go looking. Incidently stop talking about it get off your **** and start looking you lazy git!!!

 

Mul,

Where are you getting insurance quotes from?
Give Adrian Flux a call(01553 777888), they rated the WRX the same as a UK Spec car when they quoted me.

£705 with a £300 excess. I'm 28 with full Protected NCB.1994 WRX.

Justin.

 

Unfortunately articles I've read suggest its difficult to find an "old" impreza that is in good condition.

We are enthusiastic drivers it seems !

 

Mul,

Shop around till you drop on insurance. I'm paying £715 (with a named driver) on an STI insured at 26k.

Imports should only differ by 10% from UK cars. Don't forget a 12k Import car will be less than a 18k UK car to insure.

E-mail me and I will give you a contact in insurance who whould be cheaper than most.

In terms of buying a car. Depends on your budget. If low teans, a WRX will be the one (there are now loads so shop around and drive at least 4 or 5 so you no when your driving a dud). Also get someone who really knows their stuff to check the car over before you pay your money. Its worth doing.

Buy right and it will be a dream.

Good luck

Chris
