I know I am on perhaps the wrong website to ask this question but hey I have to give it a try:

I was offered a very clean 1995 Impreza WRX with 103,000 full service history, never hacked to messed about with, just a genuine straight clean car. Its white and it hasnt even got a stone chip on the hood.

I was offered this car for 4500 Euro's. Is it worth considering to purchase or is it a bag of trouble..?

Any assistance much appreciated..

Cheers

Paul

im pretty sure you just made alot of people jealous. haha. personally i would snatch that up.

Yeah, Subarus didn't exist in the US until 2002.

It sounds like it was adult-owned and driven, well-maintained, and not beaten to within an inch of its life. Big plus.

Verify it though. Give it a thorough going-over anyway. Make sure the gearbox feels good, make sure the turbo boosts properly, make sure the tires are wearing evenly.

Stuff like that.

What's a Euro worth to us Yanks?

It's not as easy as a straight conversion due to relative economy unless you are talking about buying it there and importing it, but currently 1 euro=1.38 dollars according to Google.

I'm sure you meant to say that WRX's weren't sold in the US market until the 2002 model year.

I think he was implying that nobody cared about them until then, a shot at the crooked-hat crowd.

Ha... right!

I was taking the literal reading. Thanks for pointing that out.

Fixed that for ya

nice

Paul, you might want to check if the WRX is a "grey market" JDM import or a UK WRX. It could affect insurance or registration.

Is that 103,000 kilometers? That car is barely broken in!

From what I know, those cars don't tend to be basket cases. Especially if not modified they tend to be reliable and sturdy cars.

You should buy it so everyone in North America can live vicariously through your photos and tales.

Well here she is lads...not paid for yet but its more or less a done deal. Had a test drive in this beast today, tight as a nuns knickers, and in totally original condition, never had seen a ditch or a test track. What a serious bit of kit, I was stunned with the handling of this car out on the small country back roads here where I live. Have checked insurance and its not too bad, fully comprehensive at about 500 Euros ( less then $400) I think.

I am hoping to close the deal in the next few days....

Am I mad or what....

Sorry forgot to show the interior..engine bay later..

Greetings from sunny Ireland

This car will cost me about $6000...! ( I hope)

It definitely looks to be worth the money. Congrats!

Awesome! How is the wife gonna take it?

She'll take it like she always does!

The car looks really fantastic.

Wow, looks like a real gem.

Well lads she will take it as being a signal that she may be getting some goodies herself...

You know what its like, they have a great way of making you feel guilty, however I still have some "browney" points left following her recent surprise...I bought her a minter E.36 Beemer, which i have to say she loves.

But I guess I will have to be prepared to top up my browney points if that WRX lands outside my door..

Watch that space guys...
