As you know im on the look out for a type r. The question is would you prefer to buy one thats had an engine rebuid? My worry is they do seem prone to engine failure which concerns me. Cheers in advance.

Getting any impreza with a rebuilt engine is no big deal providing it was rebuilt by a reputable garage. I wish I'd bought a car with a rebuilt motor!

Good luck with your search.

 

Depends how many miles since rebuild. And look for a receipt to prove who did the work etc.
You WILL enjoy the Type R

 

I will prob love the type r, if i can find one not a millon bloody miles away

If ya find the right one its worth travelling for..

 

Ive seen P1's with over 120k on the original engine, then ive seen ones with 60k on a rebuild, so which engine is the best?
Buy that one you want for 7.5k, you know you want it!

Dan

 

I drove 425 miles to see mine, best trip i ever done

Tony

 

id buy the one with the rebuild if its been done by someone like api.

 

if u can find one with a rebuild then get it as long as it been done 2 a high standed an propa. u will enjoy the type r as i have so much fun in mine (when dry). dont worry about having 2 travel its the best part as u get 2 enjoy the ride home in the new car. all the best m8

 

i sent mine over from the other side of the world to get a good one! I had to pay for it though with a crap exchange rate
