I have been an Impreza fan for quite some time but haven't owned one as yet. Looking for a WR1 with comprehensive history and less then 50,000miles.
If buying from someone outside the forum, any tips on what to look out for?
Regards,
Aman

Helloooo good time to be on the look out for one, seems they are going for a good price just now.
Apart from the service history and numbered Service book things to look out for are the Key ring, the Tax Disc Holder, the Gear Knob and Plaque.

What do you expect to pay for what you are looking for (i.e., extensive history and less than 50k miles)?

From what I have seen on the net a WR1 with about 45,000miles could be for around 10,500-11,000 and ones with less miles will be higher. Why have you got one that fits the bill?

No, sorry mines not for sale, although I have been toying with the idea for a while. I fancy a change, I think I'd want a bit more than £11000 though...

If you hold onto it for much longer then you'll not get 11k for it...

i traded mine in 6 months ago and got 10k for it 67k on the clock was due a service and suspension was knockking. and a bit of rust bubbling at top of windscreen. got 1k knocked of the price of the car i was buying so could even say 11k and i was quite happy with that.
got the rb320 now and happy with it paid top money ot get a mint one.
a car is only worth what soeone is willing to pay but a wr1 is a performance bargain you will not go faster for the money!!!
had mine right of the clock a few timesa nd GPS in a mate i overtook was 165mph
so good for aound 170 amazing cars

i also had mine for 3 years and 25k of hard driving and mechanically never missed a beat until the end where the struts started knocking.

Don't know about that - someone may want a good one. Mines only 34000 miles approx and in very good, clean condition. Immaculate wheels, paintwork, etc.
I would only put it up for sale when there were no others' around...
