Hi all,

Its been a long time between posts! I had two imprezas and loved them! but my new hobby is builting customer Harleys!.

Anywhy, I was thinking about getting another impreza, my brother has one a 02 full light converstion etc!!

I dont have that type of money, just got a house! So, I found a '95 Sportswagon, a few extra, nice price, 59K.

Question, What do I have to look for???? problem wise?

Thanks
Niall

Well U R coming up on the big 60K service!!

Is it a UK or WRX version?

I had an MY95 UK 5dr.

Bear in mind that the UK cars had cr@p seats/interior until the facelift (97/97)

The only things I would say to watch out for apart from the usual stuff is :-

1. The bootlid wiring loom. Because the bootlid sees alot of action, the loom on the right hand side of the hinge takes a fair beating.

Mine resulted in a severed central-locking control to the boot. Which also affected the alarm.

2. Rocker Cover gaskets - potentially dangerous (fire/write off)
There are two either side of the engine (air filter side and screenwash reservior side). Not too expensive but a sod to do without the right tools.

3. Wheel bearings

4. antiroll bar links/bushes

5. Sunroof - if it comes with a factory sunroof, mine started to stick like mad when I sold it.


That's all that went wrong with mine in 3yrs of ownership.

As mentioned above, you've got a hefty service looming too.

hope this helps

Dan

Thanks for the replies! I'll bear all your idea in Mind! Was thinking about getting the AA to do a full check before getting the car!
