Question

Some advice please?
I am investigating the purchase of a 98 model 2000 AWD.
It is a left hand drive model! And it has 28K miles FSH, one owner and is up for 8500.
Just wanted some advice from the experts and a verdict on how the LHD models perform against the RHD models?

Any advice please?

Nice handbags

Are all MY98's susceptible to the piston slap? If so, then that is one thing you need to get checked out on it

Cheers,

Michelle.

Check out how much a RHD will cost you first , A left hooker could be a bit of a bitch to shift in a few years time !

Its less likely to be stolen in the UK.No perfermance difference,they are the same spec as uk cars,but some euro cars did not have airbags or ABS,so check before you buy.

I know a few people over here in Germany with classic shape LHD impreza's and nobody has ever reported any problems to me!

I had a 98MY RHD Impreza and had turbo boost sensor problems! Quite common on 98MY RHD cars!
