A tip in general when purchasing a second hand vehicle, make sure you do your encumbrance and write-off checks.
I'm sure there are plenty more tips to come =)

Simply take it to Stechnic or Allstar or Blue star for a pre-purchase inspection prior to buying anything.

^ Buy his car.

My best advice - check the clutch!!!! My clutch died 1 week after I bought my car and its not cheap my friend.. not cheap at all.

Get STechnic to check it over.. might cost a few bucks "if they can even fit you in! They seem crazy busy" but trust me its a damn good idea!!

Many WRXs this age "look good" but looks can be deceiving.
