impreza p1
After a little bit of searching I found a decent ph1 172 and picked it up today.
Just ticked over 94k, iceberg silver with a decent service history, huge folder, original bill of sale, endless receipts for work carried out.
Mechanically the car is fantastic with most big jobs already carried out. New shocks with Cooksport springs, new clutch, Belts will need doing end of the year but only covered 12k since being done late part of 2020.
Few little niggles to sort, drivers window struggles to go back up, has had the regulator and switch change to no avail, need to look into this further. Going to give the internal silver plastics a fresh paint as they are looking tired now with lacquer peel. Drivers seat has the usual wear. Drivers headlight could do with another restoration or better still a new one.
No rust luckily, seals are good and the rear door cards removed and checked with pics but there are some marks here and there, bit of lacquer peel in a couple of places but not too bad for almost 24 years old.
Needs two centre caps, some slight marks on a couple of the wheels but wrapped in almost new ps3’s
Usual remote central locking problem but probably stick with the obd bypass.
Nice drive home and nice driving a revvy NA, different to the megane.
I’m very impulsive so who knows how long I’ll have this one 🤣
I drive a van daily and got the 300 trophy so not sure how much use it will get but it’s a fun little car to take for a little back road blast.
Would I get it fully resprayed, not sure I’d get my money back and if it was sitting on half the mileage would have been worth it
