    cheers, ill be asking for more advice over the next few weeks if i find anymore i like, bit deflated about the whole thing but thankfully not too badly out of pocket, save for the rac inspection. Thinking next time ill insist it gets taken to a scooby specialist for a full inspection??

    Yeah i think thats what im gonna do. Bitterly dissapointed though. This car had everyrhing i was looking for!! So hard to find decent ones

    Hi all, Had an inspection done on a car I like, they said it was fairly clean few things need doing, all wheel realignment and rear disks, new tyres etc.. But worryingly the engine number dosent match the v5. I am thinking this is a really bad thing as the milage is now meaningless, any advice?

    Hmm will give it a good read. Cheers! :)

    Insurance just makes that impossible, I appreciate all the advice guys have done a lot of reading and phoning recently and have a fairly good idea of what to look for. Also having rac inspection done on car I am very keen on so hopefully all will come back acceptable

    Yeah the price is top end i know but these cars do seem to sell themselves pretty easily, i have not seen any like the one I'm looking at for less that £11k, ('55 end of production, widetrack sti, absolutely standard) I'm selling my old car and going in waving cash as will be getting a better price for my current motor through private sale. appreciate the advice as always!

    Cheers for the advice, I spoke to some of the experts reccomended near me at great length so now know a lot more about what to look for. Already decided against both of the cars I mentioned earlier and have been to see a fair few cars. I found one I really like from these guys: http://www.cheshireperformance.co.uk And am wondering if anyone has any advice on them? I would be putting all my money into one of their cars but want to check they are well regarded as I really don't want to get ripped off! (It's worth mentioning that when I went to see the cars they were nice guys and seemed genuine but I am no scooby expert so just being careful) Can anyone help with this? Cheers!

    Hi all, I have found a car from this place which I really want to buy: http://www.cheshireperformance.co.uk The car is no longer listed as I have shown real interest and very much want to buy. The guys here seem like nice blokes and the car was awesome but as I am pretty much putting my life savings into this car I thought the sensible thing to do was ask around and see if anyone has any advice/prior dealings which them as I have seen both positive and negative reviews online. There were a few niggling details which needed fixing but they were upfront and seemed genuine about getting them sorted. Can anyone advise me on this as I am no mechanical expert and really don't want any nasty surprises once money has changed hands as I am sure you can all understand. All advice much appreciated in advance!!

    Hi all, I am looking to buy my first Subaru, as i have recently realised that my dream of owning an Impreza WRX STI can now become a reality following four years of (mostly) careful driving which has allowed me to build up enough no claims to make insurance finally affordable. I am torn between either the 2004 or 2006 models as i think they are the best looking ones within my budget, does anyone have any advice on making this decision? (ie how are they to drive, mpg, power and delivery, refinement, depreciation, and reliability/parts which may need replacing soon etc) i would really appreciate all advice from people who know these cars! I am currently looking at this one because it is just spectacular looking (although a bit out of my budget!) does anyone know anything about it??: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201406175078961/usedcars?logcode=visc Or maybe this one too (bit more realistic): http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201311220080324/usedcars?logcode=visc I am really looking for an untouched car which is as standard as possible as this will help with insurance and hopefully maintenance fees!? Does anyone recommend any dealers/inspection firms as i would like to have any car i was going to buy checked over beforehand to save on any nasty surprises down the line.. Cheers in advance for any and all advice!
