gampla Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 im thinking of upgrading from my 1.4 fiesta to a hawkeyes scooby the one im thinking of getting is something like this, if i was to look at this what should i be looking for and do you think its worth what the dealer is looking for it?
Gambit Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Is it worth it hell yeah! :D Very bias view but smiles it would give you last years most of the time :D We have some bed time reading with some good added tips from other members so hopefully this will help http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1619-help-check-guide-buying-1st-subaru/
JusNoGood Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I'm guessing you're going non-turbo due to your age? Its worth checking insurance to see what the difference is. Servicing and MPG costs will be similar. It looks kind a pricey to me for an 8 year old non-turbo with 80,000 miles on the clock. Here's a few to compare it against.... Heres a same age, similar model with only 22k on the clock for a similar price. It is an Auto granted but just using it as an example. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201406024680112/sort/default/usedcars/model/impreza/postcode/rh20pn/maximum-age/up_to_8_years_old/price-to/5000/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/fuel-type/petrol/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/make/subaru/page/3/price-from/3000/radius/1500?logcode=p Then if you compare to turbos you would expect the turbo to be a lot more money...but they're not. 2006 with less miles (turbo version) and similar price... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201406074825711/sort/default/usedcars/price-to/5000/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/radius/1500/maximum-age/up_to_8_years_old/postcode/rh20pn/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/model/impreza/fuel-type/petrol/page/3/make/subaru/price-from/3000?logcode=p and here is a 2006 with 80,00 miles and 300bhp!! I'm not by any means recommending this car (I'd go for one not fiddled with). Just trying to show how expensive the GX is. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201402211971194/sort/default/usedcars/model/impreza/postcode/rh20pn/maximum-age/up_to_8_years_old/price-to/5000/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/fuel-type/petrol/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/make/subaru/page/3/price-from/3000/radius/1500?logcode=p Hope that helps mate. If you're keen on a non-turbo then by all means go for it. They are great cars but I'd haggle hard if you go for the one you have linked.

They are great cars but I'd haggle hard if you go for the one you have linked. the scooby i put is a 2l non turbo or n/a cost rembering im only 23 with 1 yr noclaims is roughly £1000-£1200 where a turbo is £2000-£3000 take these two quotes 2005 Subaru Impreza Wrx (225), 1994CC Petrol, 4DR, Manual £2,226.59 2006 Subaru Impreza Rx, 1994CC Petrol, 4DR, Manual £1,008.79
JusNoGood Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Yea I guessed as much. I'd still shop around mate. That's a bucket of money for a Non turbo if that age and mileage. Have you tried the insurance guys on here? 1
gampla Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 im not planning on buying atm as i couldnt afford the fuel as im traveling 60miles a day, 5 days a week but looking for work closer. im also planning to do lgv 2 those two quote was from compare the market
gampla Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 Each year it'll get cheaper mate [emoji2] first time i drove the insurance was £3500 for a 1l down to £880 for a 1.4 fiesta
Gambit Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Ouch Well worth trying out insurance Dan on here can help if need be http://bit.ly/1e53Kdg hopefully might be a bit cheaper
