Hi all, I'm new here and looking for my first Impreza!

[Mike Darley]

I'm happy just getting a standard WRX, interested in this one on Autotrader:

2007 Red Subaru Impreza 2.5 WRX Saloon 4dr Petrol Manual (244 g/km, 227 bhp) for sale for £7,500 in OTLEY, WEST YORKSHIRE (autotrader.co.uk)

Any thoughts or tips please?......

Cheers

Mike

Look for rust! Wheel arches and sills. If it’s rust free then it looks a nice buy.

The area in the rear wheel arch near the bottom at the front where the sills end is where I have seen a lot including my own be rotton and the frame rails underneath. Other then that if it modified be carefull and if the pcv system is still intact is what to look out for

[Mike Darley]

Thank you both for these handy tips, I thought rust might be an biggy, but on the PCV system, how do you know if it's intact? (sorry if sounding a bit slow!)

The pcv system is all the random pipework running across the engine so look for pipes that are just open or blocked off with bolts and the major give away is if the metal pipe that runs across the intercooler is still there
