Well, I feel financially poorer, but spiritually richer!

There she is sat outside this very minute. 2.5k for it. nearly 109k on the clock, fully serviced by Subaru since registration (all those years ago) 12 months MOT and 4 new tyres. Interior in great condition, all the bellls and whistles, even ...

WISH ME LUCK! I'M GOING IN!

Found a '93, FDSH-ed, 107ker! I'm going the kill! The guy said if I didn't buy it, he'd pay for me train home (this is why being car-less sucks a fat one [hopefully the last time I get ripped off by British "Rail"])... Will keep you all posted, I know how excited for me ...

someone up there don't want me driving a Legacy....

The one in Leicester went. Damn.

There's two others to consider. A '92, 143k-er (in red, they go faster right?), and a '94/93k-er (also red, broom broom). The only problem is they're in Bournemouth and Hereford respectively. What I intend to do ...

Cheers Huw, Dr. Nick

Yup it's an auto. Don't really go for those meself. I shan't embarass myself here with some of the quotes I got (anyone would think I was an alcoholic 17 year old with club feet), and sourcing parts would be a bit of a nightmare, so to speak....

The chap in Wales has decided ...

oooooh.

Just seen a '94 GT twin turbo estate on autotrader..... Is that gonna be biting off more than I can chew? I take it it's an import. Anyone know what it's like getting these things serviced/fixed? Are we talking serious cash/specialists here? only 46k miles! dammit!

anyone had any ...

um, no.

Been looking around for diff prices on estates. most of them seem to come in at under 3k (some well under)... does this price seem ok afterall? the one i'm hankering after is more expensive than another i found with less (63k) on the clock plus leather etc. (autotrader) which is closer to norwich ...

also: is the 2.0 litre quadcam turbo the same as the straightforward turbo? i'm getting confused by the interminable terminology...

The audi 80 quattro was the last car to be knocked off my shortlist. Solid and safe but distinctly dull was the opinion i came across the most. 4wd's good but an uninspiring drive.

Another question: what kind of security/anti-theft have you got? this cars are pretty nickable by the looks of things ...

Heello evary bordy.

should've guessed!

cheers for the tips. yup, someone else said tesco was a good bet. apparently so is the co-op. will investigate. did some homework on the chap selling the 68k estate, appears to be the genuine thing. feeling lucky too...

apple macs eh? you got your head ...

Matt- Not at all, dear boy, not at all! The more the merrier!

Not really intending to re-do the interior as such, but having said that, you never know... Fairly happy with an interior that's in functional condition. I'm a functional kinda guy. Guess that's why i'm after a subaru.

I emailed the ...

Comper, Dr. Nick, thanks!

Great to hear such local enthusiasm! I've noticed you around Dr. Nick, glad you deemed me worthy of your attention!

No, you're not teaching me to suck eggs in the slightest, all advice is very welcome indeed. Shall see what I can do. It seems like a geniune mileage/well ...

Cheers dude! Good to hear from another (virgin) brit!

Autotrader's not much good, where you been looking for your perfect match? What about the price I found? Does 3k+ sound in the right ballpark? I'vbe seen ones for £1900 odd, but as for their condition....

I had something else to ask you, but it ...

Hi there

Complete novice here, haven't even bought the car yet.... BUT would like some advice/thoughts nonetheless.

Am looking to buy a '93 turbo estate (sorry, I'm British!), with 68k on it. The current asking price is 'round the £3k mark (US$5159.78, thanks to xe.com) and might well go up as it ...
