Can only see the White one ................... my advice???

Do NOT under ANY circumstances buy a WHITE Subaru Impreza Turbo!!

You will not be able to sell it yourself!

These cars are very colour sensitive ........ BLUE is the colour, Silver is good too

The MicaPink is well ...............

I agree with Pete.

Sounds steep for a P reg though. Especially a white P reg.

Milage v. low. Is it genuine and has it been serviced at the correct intervals?

Not afraid to ask for money are they. This car is over-priced!!
As for colour - well I've had black with tints and dark blue - be different but white on a car is a barsteward - my XR4x4 was white and I was forever cleaning it !

Default More advice please, doing my head in!!

Firstly thanx to all who gave their words of wisdom. But i'm still in need of a bit of handholding!

I've been to see a blue T reg type R going for £13995 at a Subaru garage but it's in need of a small repair to the gearbox as it's crashing slightly in 5th. On talking with the previous owner all it needs is a brass ring to correct it and is common with these. When I went to take a test drive it needed jump starting. I was told this happens sometimes if the car is not driven much. The car's a jap import so subaru won't cover it with their warranty and has not been converted to 97 ron but needs regular octane boost.

So as not to put anyone 2 sleep i'll get to the point.. i've made an offer of £12k without warranty against my Clio 172 sport (2003) and said I won't take anything less than 9k.

Advice greatly appreciated!

Thats still an awful lot of money to pay!!

There are numerous mint examples for sale on Scoobynet all the time. In my opinion you would be better off looking on here and buying from an enthusiast rather than a dealer who is charging way over the odds.

Default Buy a new one instead on PCP

Why not buy a new WRX from alliance you could get one for £1000 deposit and £299 per month over 3 years which works out about the same as the money you are talking about spending and you would have a warranty
