My97 N WRX - Bit of info for a new buyer
Hi guys, wasnt sure where abouts to post this - thought general looked ok to do so (New here, hope to become a regular soon enough).
Im going to try and buy my first WRX over this summer break, and im currently looking at a MY97 N Impreza WRX. Is there any major issues I should be aware of when buying a pre 2000 WRX Second Hand? Just things like major faults and if there are any questions I should be asking the owner, or any defects I should look for. The car is stock WRX, with 181,000kms. First thing will be first - STi Rear Wing hehe Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Cam. |

^^^^WHS
also bear in mind that the 200,000 k service is a biggie involving replacing timing belt etc etc, usually around 1200-1500 from subaru |

I know 99/00 would be better, but limited money and opportunity so i'm just happy with a pre-2000 of any sort really. Im not after massive performance or anything. Hes asking 10900 but i want to try and get him to 10k or less. I think the trade in value is a minimum of 5700 on Redbook. |

The seller should allow you to take it to a workshop to have a look over before purchasing it.
Even if he/she takes it there themselves and gets a report etc... ASG, MMS, RMS one of these Subaru specialist workshops should be able to help you out. You could always save up a little more and get a 99/00 GC8 like others have suggested already. Goodluck with the purchase.

I have the same model and done nearly the same k's mine still runs great. When on cruises the brakes tend to die very quickly, I recommend upgrading those if your going to be doing some speeds. No airbags, so try not to hit anything. Other than that for the performance you get I think they are great value for money.

you could change the dash out for a newer version, to be honest thou better saving for a little longer and buying the 99/00 version, less hassle then
