Default Newbie ahoy, couple of Questions

Hello!

Right I've been looking at Imprezas over the last 2months, (wanted one ever since I was 18, ok so only 5yrs ago but still) Now insurance is affordable, I have at the most £7,000 to buy a Classic Turbo 1998 onwards would be nice, am I going to find a good one with lowish mileage?

I've seen a few on autotrader, one went last month had 48k miles on it.

If i cant wait for one with say 50k miles or less, how are they with 80k miles on the clock, anything I should be wary of?

I test drove one in bristol last week and wasnt that impressed.

take your time and choose wisely mate. hold out for one that is standard and has below average miles on the clock. i spent 2 months looking for one.

Privately, you should get a MY00 with that sort of cash.

I bought a MY00 a year ago for £5k, but with 95k.

For e.g - £6.5k:

Subaru : Classic Impreza PPP, RB5 Spoiler

Looks pretty good, not too many mods either to keep insurance down, and low mileage.

Take your time, and you'll find a good 'un.
