Default My new Impreza UK MY00

Was browsing through gumtree other night and came across the car that was literally 2 miles from me.

£2,200, 10 months MOT, 86K from new, 2 previous keepers, full stamped Subaru book up till 2003 when it was dry stored for 6 years.

no rust at all on rear arches a genuine straight and honest impreza totally standard and original. Drives spot on.













from the disaster of my failed 94 wrx jdm project this really is a breath of fresh air.

cheers.

Nice one, always nice to see a good classic :-) but don't take the arches as proof that there's no rust, get under it and check the sills and get in your jack compartment with a torch.

Guessing it'll need a bloody good service after 6 years!

Very similar to mine when I first got it, nice to see a stock vehicle, well apart from wheels. Enjoy it

Excellent find.

Keep it standard please! (Or close to it. So exhausts allowed! )

Nice find and good price. Make sure you check the inner arches at the top of the strut as although the outside of the arches looks fine its the inside that is usually always gone when I was looking.

You'll be fine putting a full cat back system on it, won't need a remap for that

Yea the wheels were not to my liking so I put the gold ones on my failed wrx project before she was towed off to her new owner and got my 17" back off the wrx. Looks far better.
