Questions about possible new purchase - 2001 WRX STi
 
Heya


I just have a few questions about this vehicle for sale

[url]http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/dealer/SUBARU/IMPREZA/details.aspx?Cr=0&State=Western%20Australia&R=6077346&state_id=904&__Ns=pCar_StatusSort_Int32%7c1%7c%7cpCar_Price_Decimal%7c0&__N=4294963801%20904%204294963800%204294932823%20788%201216%20834%20285%20258%20287&distance=25&RegionID=788&trecs=1&__Nne=20&seot=0&silo=1000&__sid=119309CACFBA&Model=IMPREZA&__Qpb=true&Region=State%20Wide&Make=SUBARU[/url]

it seems cheap and just wondering about this model? are they decent for power?

also what about modifying?

anything I should know about them really? anything to look for? do the engines blow after certain km's?

uAs my knowledge of Subaru's is very limited, just wanted to know if there is anything to look out for?

Thanks

Seems pretty cheap to me, and its from a dealer.... hmmm

miss_petepie 21-08-2008 06:17 PM

exactly what I thought... they have it on ebay, carsales, autotrader etc to sell...

the carsales lady was dead keen to see my car as I ill be swapping my car for it.. but havent worked out the fine print..

just a little sus on it tho :S

mr_psi 21-08-2008 06:20 PM

high k's... only way to find out is check the service history and take it for a test drive.

vivioman 21-08-2008 06:25 PM

Saw it on the dealer's website...high ks, but cheap if it has full service history and test drive goes well I guess...

theyre all dead keen when a swap is involved to get you to the dealership, then the hard work begins.

Price is cheap, but kms are high.

miss_petepie 21-08-2008 07:47 PM

ok cool, well will see how it goes.. will head down in my lunch hour and see what they say... will check the service history on the thing too... could always go for a WRX as I dont know the difference... gonna start somewhere tho :D

high ks most likley for a rebuild soon.

I'd take it to ASG and get Sean to look at it.. if its unmodded, the 207 should still be going strong... Hard to say what its going to be like without seeing it, but it is pretty cheap! Get it looked at by a reputable Subaru Mechanic

I'd be tempted to take it to a good panel beater & make sure some Habib hasn't bought it from Pickles as a write off & glued it together with chewing gum either as that plate isn't too old.
