Newbie with first Subaru

[Harryburgundy]

Hi there.

I have just bought my first Subaru...a 96 Impreza Sport n/t with fully stamped service record, one lady owner (really!) and just 36k documented miles.

I have not had a car for a while and didn't really know what to buy but I knew I wanted something other than the norm when this popped up! I am looking to a long trouble free relationship...heres hoping

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C :) 

[Harryburgundy]

Thanks all. Collected it today. Bit more bodywork damage than I remembered from my first viewing but not complaining. Every mot from the first in 1999 showing an average of 2.5k miles per year.

As far as I can tell the cambelt was changed 26k miles ago but that was in 1999! Better have it renewed I guess!

Good stuff feel free to share some pictures when you get chance :) 

And yeah I would get it changed mate I would say it's fit to go at anytime :(
