Just a quick hi my names Dunny,29 im from stoke and needing some help on buying my first impreza. Im coming from the german VW scene (a 297bhp 285Ibft mk4 Golf) and thinking about doing a swap with this:
http://www.swapz.co.uk/swapz/3139481...z_astra_seat_/

what do you guys think? is there anything i need to no about this particular model? im sorry if there's threads on this but have tried looking, probably not hard enough but really want this car.

thanks
Dunny

 

I wouldn't dive in to the first Impreza you think fits the bill.

Do some research on here and you will find what to look out for.

Buying a Scooby in a hurry could end up costing, and you wishing you had your Golf back

 

What would you value your own car at?

 

Ask the seller who mapped the car ?

 

its not really the firsty impreza ive looked at, ive been view a few but they've all been dogs and looking from the pictures its the best looking one ive seen. I value my car at £5k, its got over 17K worth of receipts but im eager for a scooby one of the old ones though version 6 if possible.

 

is your golf anything special (Anni etc.) or just a tuned mkiv? Can't see it actually being worth £5k unless it's a low mileage limited run model, regardless of what you spent on it. Then again someone people will pay what they think it's worth so good luck

As for the Subaru you've got up there, I'd walk away purely because of the ad and the fact that it's on Swapz.

 

asked him he replyed with
"Want me tbh I really don't no I aint guna bull**** ye not like that cheers"

 

walk away

 

yea im gone. the hunt continues.

 

Good luck buddy.

 

Well at least he was honest.

But still stay away.

good luck with the search.

 

In other words,
He's bought the ecu and just bolted it in without even having the map checked on it. What an idiot, I wouldn't walk away from this one I'd bloody sprint !!!

Here's the best advice you'll get,
STAY AWAY FROM THAT WEBSITE !!!!
It's full of idiots with utterly sh1te cars who only advertise on there because they can't sell their shed anywhere else.
Sell your car first and then find an owner on here selling his pride and joy.

 

to buy any car you need to look at lots and drive them too. A good one will stand out

 

The advert looks horrible. "Bought this on ebay" "My mate fitted that"
