Hi all I dont yet have a WR1 but have just sold 1 of my houses, so its just a matter of waiting for the estate agent and solisitors to do there stuff now. about 6 - 8 weeks so im told.
Anyway can anyone tell me what to look for when i find one i like?
Cant wait to get behind the wheel of my Dream Car but have never owned an Impreza before so i am still a bit nervous of the 320 bhp. Although i did have a test drive in a spec-d a couple of weeks ago and did not stop laughing from the time i got in until i got out. i think it was a nervous laugh!!
Cheers Julian

Welcome ! If you thought the Spec-D gives you a smile... You sure will enjoy owning an STi, WR1 or Spec C. The 2.0 litre engines are much nicer than the 2.5 if you like a sporty drive (exception made for the 37 or so Type-25's).

hi and welcome. if you get a 1, make sure all the little bits are present that come with the 1 and the service book is all filled in correctly most subaru owners treat there cars very well, so hopefully you will get a good one.

You'll get lots of wonderful platitudes on this site, and I'm afraid I'm no different. My WR1 was my first Scoob and I adore it. Don't be surprised when you find yourself getting used to the power quicker than you realise. It's a great car - hope you get your dream sorted soon

True. I am already thinking now the Evo could use a few more horses. Not sure what I'll do with them though

Hi Julian.....I just joined this site only yesterday...but welcome anyway! WR1's are around if you're lookin to buy one, even though only 500 made. I happen to stumble across mine whilst surfing on Top Marques website. Dealers will charge you atleast

Reckon most of them should have milage say anywhere between 10k - 25k. Any less than all the better. By zee way watch out for a guy who tried to take me for a mug.....he advertised his WR1 on the net....once you phone him he paints a real rosy pic but then says "oh and i would like you to transfer the funds into my account" before you come and collect the car! .....der...did he think i was born yesturday?....

Shouldn't we guide him to the dark side straight away or you think he should first practice a bit with a scoob before he trades up ?
