Hi Guys,

My name is Peter I'm 27, Impreza classic is something what I always wanted to have... for me It's not simply the car... it's the symbol, style of LIFE.

For about 10 Years I owned the VW Scirocco GTI mk2 (which is not very popular in Ireland) It's time to put into the garage sth more reliable :>
I would be glad joining your elitary club soon... But first of all I need some your help/ advice...

What I'm interested in is BLUE 98-2000 STI coupe in good shape. I'm still searching the internet advertisements, carzone.ie etc. but would really appreciate your suggestions/ advices.
If you know about something ... Give me a shout please! I can run with 15k Eur.

Cheers...
 
Welcome to the site :thumbsup: You've made a good decision in choosing a type R coupe Impreza. I'm afraid you won't get anything over 1998 for €15k
You might get a decent 1998 Version 4 for that but they are very pricey. 2 doors are rare and hard to come by. It took me 4 months to find one I wanted, I got a 98 Version 5 in august and paid 17k for her. That was straight in from Japan so I am the first Irish owner on it so I'd say you might get one second hand registered one for 16k.
Its well worth it tho and you get a bit of street cred you receive having a Coupe. :worship:
Mine is blue but I prefere Gun metal grey. Colour is up to your own personal preferance. :ponder:

Best of luck mate,
Shane.

I second what maximus says. Since I was old enough to know what a car was I have always wanted an Impreza. I have a 98 Version 5 type R coupe in blue. Got it straight from Japan and paid 18K for it. Took me 3 months to find one I wanted.

If you want to get the best Impreza then its either that one or a 22B.

Good luck with your search.
 
The price does seem a bit on the steep side for that one.

Sean Byrne is the dealer. He's a bit of a looper but is alright. He'll put it down as a MICRA if ya want!! :lol: ah no but he always has in his ad's "can be put down as 1.6 on log book"! :shock:
I know its far especially if you don't take the car. Call him up and tell him your situation as in you are far away. Try to make a deal over the phone before you go over and ask him to tell you everything you nee to know about the car engine or damage-wise. He is cheap but genuine. :thumbsup:

Thanks mates!

Gerry: Your friends scoob is cool, but I want BLUE.. only :oops:

Maximus and AndyC: Your Type-Rs are the ones I'the like to buy like. :worship: amazing!

What dyou think about this one? http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=451362

Not lucky for me most of the cars' sales are in Dublin. I live in Kerry, so it's much more difficult to search over here.
