Default Nice blob wrx

Guys, I’m after a nice Blob WRX, pref a wagon but would consider a saloon. The car MUST be under 70k, no silly mods but PPP or a map / exhaust would be preferable. Not fussed on color. I’m happy to travel for the right car but don’t really want to go more than a couple of hours from Essex. Please no chavved up wagons with glued on vortex generators etc etc.

What happens to cars when they get to 70k

I know what happens when they get to 170k

What is your budget?

70k seems a good mileage for a blob WRX, not mega low so therefore not asking crazy money, buts it’s not so high as things start failing on an epic scale.

Budget is healthy for the right car. If you’re selling, send me a PM

They're at least 13 years old. Buy on condition, not mileage. Parts are more likely to fail through age and lack of use than sensible regular driving. A low mileage car suggests that it hasn't been used much and therefore potentially not maintained. I'd rather have a 100k car with a huge file of receipts for servicing and replacement parts, than a 60k car with full Subaru service history...

Beware that you'll pay through the nose for a <70k but it will be no guarantee that it will be any better/reliable/cheaper to run than a less expensive >90k car.

£5k should be more than enough to buy a great Blob WRX PPP, that has been well maintained with plenty of documented work & receipts. I wouldn't pay any more than that though for one, regardless of mileage.

Good luck in your search.
