Impreza 2000 Terzo?
Discussion
its a 1 of 333 special edition, basically a 2000 turbo but with nicer seats and blue paint. few come with the prodrive wr sport kit which is good but rare, the are pretty cheap now so not a car you will lose any money on unless you pay over the odds or have a big bill for. Some go for very high mileage, but i saw one go for £2k the other day with 99k on the clock. which would be more tempting than 120k miles.
Just make sure it has some service history and evidence of oil changes and a cambelts in its life and in the last few years and also importantly how it looks to have been kept. Check the rear arches for signs of rust as some go a bit rusty and some are 100%.

looks nice and pretty understated, just worth asking the owner how often he gets it serviced and when the cambelt was done.I had one till six months ago, bought three years ago £2500 with 118,000 miles,sold it for £2000 with engine man light on and undiagnosed fault.
Brilliant car, did the timming belt,pulley, and all oils as soon as I bought it, a bit of paint at the front to fix the stone chips,powder coated the original wheels,it looked amazing.
Sold at 146,000miles, while I owned it it required a radiator (cheap and easy repair),front struts(the spring saddle had corroded and began to sag)this improved the handling anyway and wasn't expensive.The speedo was erratic and sometimes the needle would go all the way round and jam,this seems to be a common fault, It turned out to be the reason for the yellow light,the new owner tried all the obvious things then changed the speedo cause he'd ran out of ideas - the problem fixed.
It always had a small oil leak at the csm cover on one side, resealed it when I did the radiator,it didn't stay sealed for long.Wasn't worth the bother of fixing, the leak didn't register on the dip stick, it just smelled bad if you thrashed it after it had been town driving .
Bought an EVO6, faster but a lot more money, doesn't sound as good and not such a good drive when you don't want to drive like an idiot.
Hope this helps.

My Terzo was over 100k miles when I sold it after 5 years of ownership.
The car was faultless, still wish I could have afforded to have kept it along with its replacement.
One with full service history, no or minimum mods and clearly looked after will be fine.
Let us know if you get one, or have as I just noticed this thread is a few weeks old.
