Linx Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Hi all, I've not got a scooby yet but looking to get one this year. In fact my next door neighbor says he is thinking of selling his soon. So I've told him I'm interested. It's a completely standard 2004 Impreza 2.0 SL WRX Saloon. It's in very good condition but has done about 116000 miles. If anyone can give me any pointer on things to check It'll be much appreciated Cheers Linx :)
Gambit Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Hello mate welcome to S.O.C we have a guide here you can use to have a read through but anymore questions don't hesitate to ask :)
Jay762 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Wotcha and welcome - nice avatar photo - we have a few fans of two wheels on here also - keep us posted on your progress
Linx Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks for the welcome and the tip. Good guide! Do you think it having 116k miles on the click is a concern? It does have full service history. That's one scary picture Stig's Digital Cousin :o. 1

stants Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Hi welcome, You haven't seen his weekend outfit yet [emoji39] Sent from my SM-G850F 1
Gambit Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 No I wouldn't be too put off with the 116k miles. Does mean mainly the other parts start to fail like hubs and silly things like that more. But if you take it for a test drive I'd make sure you test it when cold and warm clutch and gearbox list from crunch into gears and slipping clutch just mainly general checks you would make on a car I guess. Have a look see when the last service was if it wasn't long ago and had a biggish one done I'd buy it after a good test drive and check round. Me on the way to Leeds to stalk Stants at home... Weekend clothing. 1
JusNoGood Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Welcome mate As Gambit said...I'd really thoroughly check the history. I went to see a few cars where the dealer said full and when I checked it was no where near 1
Linx Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Hi again. I finally got my Scooby at the weekend. My neighbor decided he wasn't selling. Mine's a 2003 2.0 WRX only done 68000 miles :). 2
