Thanks for the advise been a great help. Im going to explain to the seller about the work that needs doing and put a cheeky offer in of 5000 and go from there. If I end up with the car I will upload some pictures, thanks again

Thanks for the reply I will have a look at the buyers guide I’ve been speaking to the seller it’s only got part service history and has never had the cam belt done. I’m a mechanic myself so the cam belt is no issue apart from the expense of the parts to do the job. It is a private seller so I will be knocking the price down where I can. The car has been dry stored since 2018 tho he claims the car is in really good condition no rust any where. Looks well on the photos even looks clean under the bonnet only after market parts fit is a dump valve and spray flaps. so hopefully the engine hasn’t had to much abuse and strain. What do you think would be a good offer for this car?

Hi I’m looking at buying my first Subaru as it is a dream car of mine originally I was looking at a gb270 but the car sold I was gutted. I have now come across a 2005 Subaru Impreza wrx with the 2.0lt engine it’s done 44000 miles and up for sale for 7000 does this price sound reasonable? Is the 2005 wrx a good car mechanically and in general any information is appreciated thankyou

Hi pal thanks for the reply appreciate it sorry for the late reply aswell I was abit sour because the gb270 I was looking at sold 😂 I have now come across a 2005 imprezza wrx but with the 2lt engine it’s got 47000 miles on the clock the car is up for 7000 but I imagine I could knock the seller down on price as it is a private sale does this sound like a reasonable price?

I’m looking at buying my first subaru as it is my dream child hood car. I have seen a Subaru gb270 with only 38000 miles got all the extras it is up for 12000 pound but I have herd a lot of bad story’s about the 2.5 litre engine. I am mechanic but I don’t fancy rebuilding the engine 😂 would buying this be a wise desicion or not? If not can anybody point me in the right direction on the ideal first Subaru Impreza as I want to own one before I have to grow up and look at buying a house hahah many thanks Rhys
