Just bought a UK 51 plate Impreza WRX. FSSH with 48k miles, Tax and Mot, standard except for 18" alloys with nearly new tyres. Excellent bodywork and immaculate interior. Paid 4 and a half for it. What do people think?

After watching the BBC cops cars and criminals. Check to see if its not a Clone.
They said there is no such thing as a bargain in the car buying game. But people will still take chances as they can never resist a bargain.

Could be someone wanting rid before the possible car tax hike on 2001 onwards cars. I believe it would be £300 for a WRX if it goes ahead. (That and the fuel costs, of course!)
I think powerful cars of that sort of age will plummet in value if the tax goes up to £440.

Price sounds about right to me, low mileage becomes less of an issue with cars that age. In fact it's often a sign that it's had a harder life, lots of short runs to the shops / work and not much motorway mileage.
You'd be waiting a long time to sell if it was on for 5k so perhaps they just wanted a quick sale.

Extra for everything on Impreza ownership soon adds up and starts to p1ss you off. I for one wouldn't pay £270 extrathan a classic just for tax.

I dont think the fact the bugeye was ugly and slower helps with resale values much.
With the prices the way they are now, people can either spend a bit more and get the newer shape, or spend the same and get a really nice low mileage classic, which is quicker and much better loooking.
