Default hi joined for advice :)

hi everyone
nice forum here hope to contribute where i can

i have an urgent issue
in the next day or 2 i plan on buying a wrx, done all the research i can, have narrowed down to 3 cars

ANY advice would be magic ANY

2001 Subaru Impreza S WRX MY02 All Wheel Drive

2003 Subaru Impreza S WRX MY04 All Wheel Drive

2004 Subaru Impreza S WRX MY04 All Wheel Drive


sort of highish km's keep putting me off 2 but i know black cars are notorious for paint related issues.

but as long as its reliable, so asking for opinions.

THANK YOU ALL

Biggest mistake will be to rush into buying something, have you had the cars inspected by a Subaru specialist?

If not then don't buy any until you do or it could end up costing you big time imo.

Can't say I've heard anything in regards to black cars being notorious for paint related issues. They're difficult to keep looking clean, that's about it.

Why do you need to choose on by tomorrow? This is not something you want to rush into, find one you like and get it inspected by a Subaru specialist (not your mum's local garage) to save headaches in the future.

You will thank yourself for it either way. If there's a big problem you walk away, if it's all good then you have peace of mind.

If you desperately need a car buy a $1k shitbox to get you through a few weeks while you make a proper decision, that is what I would do.

This can not be said enough, I own a black car and keeping it clean is a losing battle. Look nice when they are clean though (which is a small percentage of time if you're me).

As I have said in your other thread, if you need a reliable car then have it inspected before you buy it, rushing into buying a wrx and giving yourself a day or two to make the decision is a bad move. Lots can go wrong here, dok dok.
