Hi and Welcome !
Shouldn't have any problems.
Just fill er up with optimax and enjoy

 

twin headlight kit is a must !
have fun

 

budget for new tyres and clutch due to the

honeymoon period

 

what about the price...about right you think..??

sorry but a complete newb to scoobys, selling a merc at the mo

 

When you say turbo seats do you mean the bucket seats? These are a must, some of the early 01 WRX's came with normal "sports" seats which were crap. Make sure you get one with buckets

I'd try and haggle down a little bit on the price. Check for things like tyre wear as a new set is probably going to set you back £400+ and full dealer history, etc, etc.

Nearly forgot, make sure it's a UK car if you are paying that sort of price.

Nothing wrong with the EU imports but they usually fetch slightly less than the UK car.

 

Looking at Subaru dealerships £14,999 is about the going rate for a 01 WRX with that sort of milage. Are you purchasing from a dealer?. If so make sure the cat back magnex exhaust doesn't effect any warranty left on the car, thats if warranty is important to you.
Cheers.

I am buying from a reputable dealer who sold the car from new and took it back in part ex for a brand new one ..
