Charley Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi all. I'm only 14 and looking for a cheap subaru impreza non turbo saloon and manual for a project. Around the £300 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattb Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi. As Rpschesterfield says, eBay and gumtree are your best bet. I've had a quick look and while there's a few for under £500, I wouldn't buy one personally. They would be complete money pits. Save your cash up a bit more and aim for the £700 - £1000, lots more to choose from. Is this going to be a first car project?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Owning a non turbo is like going into a Thai massage parlour for a cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Nice bragging rights when you're only 14 though. I bought a classic non turbo quite a while ago for 300. It was an absolute rust bucket though. Bodywork was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirspidey Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I think some of you are missing the OP's point! He's 14, the way car insurance is heading for young drivers I guess it would be 10+ years before he could have a turbo on the road. I personal loved my NA and those figures are not bad. I've owned slower. So I say give it OP a break, an NA car is a good place if he wishes to strip the engine learn about it and rebuild it. Wish I had done that at 14 years old. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Subaru isn't the same as Ferrari.. they make performance cars and other cars aswell. 0-60mph time for a daily driver doesn't mean much, I can use my NA for my second job delivering food alright with all the benefits of driving a Subaru, without having to worry about cooling down, mpg etc. I know two other people delivering with imprezas, the guy with the turbo had to convert to LPG to make it worth while. Why not get another car? He loves driving his Subaru, he gets paid to drive it. Why don't I get a turbo Subaru? I want a car with good handling, never gets stuck, okish mpg that I could use for commuting to my main job and also use as a delivery car. ...also no space on the drive as 3 cars altogether. Anyway, that's why some people can live with NA! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
