The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[Mr R.]

Right i went to look at this tonight, not sure what it is tbh or what its worth??

Its got the crap brakes on it (2 pots), crap wheels (someone may like them) ditch finder tyres although they all match and have lots of tread and even after sitting for 2 years are still quite pumped up.
Oil leak from crank seal (his got a new one and a cam belt, but just the belt)
No engine under tray
Trims dirty but no rips etc. (black and grey)
No AC and wind down windows
Alloy bonnet??
Under the engine is wet with oil and around the oil filter
It started up 1st time but idle at 2.5k??
Didn`t smoke
No rust
Drivers side side sill was red and not fixed to well
N/S inner front drive shaft boot split
P reg on 71k

No i wont be selling my PH1 to buy it but was thinking about buying it, getting it an MOT then selling it on if theres enough fat in the car.

Ill let the pictures do the talking.

Looks like a wrx ra. I'd walk away that will be a money pit

 

[Mr R.]

Was thinking the same tbh, and tbh i havent got the time as my PH1 is in bits stuck on the drive.

Just thought if there was a profit in it then i might buy it.

Prob more troubble than its worth.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep. Got pita written all over it, shame.

 

[Mr R.]

Oh well never mind, it was on my way home so worth a look.

 

[Mr R.]

Hmmm, nice.

Nice !!!

 

[Flat Eric]

I remember why I stopped looking in this thread now! TEG you're wagon is looking great! Looks exactly how I'd want one to look if I owned one

 

[imprezaworks]

Saw that, not literally. Looks nice.

 

[Mr R.]

Just been looking on AT, that mint sliver wagon I posted a while back has sold.
71k, 1 owner, FSSH at a dealers for £2995 has gone ffs.!!!

Damm you TEG.

 

[imprezaworks]

Do you want a wagon though, or not fussed?

 

[Mr R.]

I didn't but after seeing TEGs and that mint one coming up for sale got me tempted.

I must get out one weekend and have a look if any turn up local.

 

[Midnight]

Can't say I'm a fan of anything under a V5.

There are some exceptions though...

 

[imprezaworks]

Are you on scoobynet? Might be worth a nose on there mate.

 

[Mr R.]

Nope.

There is only one option.

Wagons FTW !

With you on that generally speaking !

 

[imprezaworks]

Get yourself signed up mate, I'm sure you would find something on there.

 

[Mr R.]

Cool will do.

 

[imprezaworks]

Flol at chip mode. Some (yours) wagons look nice, most look w**k tbh. But if I had to have an estate it would be on the list.

 

[imprezaworks]

This sold quick

Wagons are just full of win.

Got a wave off a woman in her 40s (50s?) in a standard-ish looking newage wagon today. Followed her for about 1/2 a mile and she was giving it some Sounded nice too haha...

Bit of a controversial thread lol.

 

[Jamie86]

I just suggested to the missus that a wagon would be sensible for the winter and sell the EP3.. she's agreed

 

[imprezaworks]

Bit of a controversial thread lol.

Because of who bought it?

Is the front bumper on yours standard?
And I meant 'your' earlier too. Soz!

 

[bill]

do wagons handle as well as the saloons?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

What do you think is different ?

I no ha.

Yeah it's a '99 V5/6. Last of the classic GC8s.

 

[Ray Gin]

Nah, just the whole 'I've agreed to buy it' 'I PM'd him hours ago' etc

 

[imprezaworks]

Oh yeah. Cheap car though.

 

[yeecup]

[imprezaworks]

Fail on the side skirts though

 

[yeecup]

true. needs colour coded. sent him an email with various questions that werent listed in the ad, waiting for a response.

 

[imprezaworks]

If the answers to your questions are anything like his advert, they will be short and crap lol. Good luck though.

 

[Scrooge]

I like that one.

 

[yeecup]

Seems to have been removed :S

 

[imprezaworks]

What did you ask him lol

 

[yeecup]

Asked about service history, mods, bodywork, rear arches etc

 

[imprezaworks]

What mud flaps to go on my impreza, if any? Awaits daft pictures of over sized mud flaps lol

 

[Pauleds]

I've been looking around for a wagon so I can put my bike in the back. I've had non turbo legacys before so this time maybe only a sport but I would really like to tick the wrx box and there is not much difference in price, only the difference in fuel economy. A big difference in grin factor I'm sure!!!

havnt managed to find any local ones that I like, they are all 100+ miles away

 

[Wick]

Rob, the bus looks superb mate. Honestly superb.
