Hi All

I am complete novice to the world of scoobie, therefore was hopeing for some sound advise, before splashing the cash.

I looking to purchase a 97/98/99 Impreza Turbo, UK Spec, Saloon. The car must have Air Con, Navy Blue or Silver (Maybe). I assume it must have a full dealer history and have done approx 70-75K miles.

What should I be looking to realistically pay for a decent one, and what should i watch out for ?

Dont have a clue if there were spec changes during this time, therefore any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers
Sean

Hello mate, better off posting in the general section.

Best go for a >99 as you get 215bhp rather then 208, you get a revised dash that the <97 dont have, you get 4 pot calipers not 2 posts on all 98> thats about it really. With a good service history Scoobies are bullet proof. If you do get one, only feed her 98 (Optimax) as 95 will save you money up front but **** your engine the long run.

Cheers

Dan
