hi guys, new to the forum and the scooby scene

I'm looking at buying my first Subaru, being a Bugeye WRX (not everyone's cup of tea, but I like them 😂)

I know that rust on the rear arches is a well known issue, is there anything else I should look out for? common issues/problems?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Cheers

Jim

There's a buyers guide for common issues (think it's in the impreza section)

Most things apply to both bug n blob tbh. 

Rust areas are rear arches , suspension turrets and inner sills .front lower crossmember and u brace (subframe)

Rear shocks knock at low speed when worn.

Hear it start from cold ,to check for piston slap and smoking .

Avoid cars with a Lack of Good regular oil changes and ones with mods that haven't got proof of being mapped .

Good luck with the search 👍
