Thinking of getting an Impreza WRX - what to look out for
Discussion
Hi, I'm new here and looking for a bit of help.
I'm thinking about buying an Impreza WRX as my next car and since I'm new to the brand I'm hoping for some insight please.
It will be about an 06/07 year, either saloon or estate. Are there any things I should be looking out for? Any problems/known faults I can expect?

That's a shame because that's what I've been looking at. I've found quite a few this age and price http://www.waltoncars.co.uk/138032/used-cars.htm
Yes the reason I was looking at an 06 was that I was trying to get one on the cheaper tax date. I do under 5k a year so the running costs shouldn't be too scary. I don't actually know what fuel economy I get now, I don't have a trip computer in my bug. I still use a main dealer for my servicing at the moment, I'm presuming it will be a similar price bracket?
Hi, yes it's anything up to the 23rd March 06, after that it's the higher band. You can check for the exact registration date on the government website, and so far I've only found one 06 that is pre that date.
It's only 3 miles away from me but the listing doesn't state a mileage. I emailed them yesterday to ask about the cam belt and they said it was changed at 76k, so it's done at least that many miles and I presume more.
If I do go ahead and buy one I will be back here asking for garage recommendations near to me
I only get my bug serviced by VW for the convenience and the stamps really.

Yes it does. If its the blue 06 wagon it says 60K
Hi, no this is another one http://www.brittoneymotors.co.uk/used-cars/subaru-...BerksJack said:
Oh ok, thats good to know the date. The late blobeye cars are really popular, as soon as they come up for sale they move on pretty quickly. If you can find a decent example then it may be worth buying an earlier car with a lower mileage.
Richard Henry Motorsport are based in Bradford (not sure how close that is to you) and have a great reputation. It maybe worth contacting them to see if they would do a pre buy inspection for you?

Boo silver! You want a colour!
There's an ad for a black wagon on yesterday in the classifieds that has Parkers suggested prices in the ad (or you could use Parkers site I suppose!) - 5k for a dealer is very reasonable. Too reasonable maybe?
I know it says silver but I think it's light blue isn't it? I do like the dark metallic grey that they are available in. My current car is bright blue so I need a change There's an ad for a black wagon on yesterday in the classifieds that has Parkers suggested prices in the ad (or you could use Parkers site I suppose!) - 5k for a dealer is very reasonable.
