stedaley Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi guys, Been drawn to the WRX Wagon 2nd gen Hawkeye/Square after a few other forums about a new car ideas. I have £6000 to spend. Just looking to get some advice from first hand experience from guys who own the cars! Got a few questions! - What things to look for when buying? Knocking seems a big issue? - with 6k i seem to be able to get a quite good example, what spec should i be looking for? - What modifications should i be looking at / already be on the car with the extra money i would have. - Any other things i have missed?? Let me know Ste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucky Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 allways go for a car with a great service history,lots of bills for work done and stuff usually shows its been loved and look't after.check the rear end isnt on the floor,i had a look at a few when i got my bug wagon that had tow bars and was really low at the back like the rear suspension had gone on them,could show its had a hard life pulling some weight about.have a look at rear dif as well for oil leaks,look't at 3 hawks,2 saloons n a wagon and all had leaky rear difs.
