March 1, 200422 yr My son's hot on the car purchase trail. He has his eye on a '99 Impreza RS. What's the board's opion on value? 90,000 miles 5 speed manual just had head gaskets replaced seems to have a front end hobble (could be tires or alignment?) check engine light is on a couple burn holes in the seats body rust and dent free blaupunkt cd player aftermarket muffler I did a carfax check and it indicated it originally was owned by a leasing company, for the first 47,000. Does that mean it was leased or was it a rental?
March 1, 200422 yr is it from a dealer or a private party? that will make a big difference in overall price. Given the front end wobble and the CEL, both of which could turn out to be somewhat expensive to fix, I would offer about $6000 for it.. But then again, resale on soobs isn't very good here.
March 1, 200422 yr Author It's from a small dealer of used Subarus in WNY. I think he does alot of EBAY sales too.
March 2, 200422 yr check out the front end wobble first, could be a tire out of balence cheap or some bent suspension componets expensive. If it turns out to be nothing major i would go around 6,000 too.
March 2, 200422 yr Take it to a mechanic to find out what the CEL is for and to check the front end so you'll know what you may need to put into it.
March 2, 200422 yr http://www.rs25.com/forums that is the best site you can find for info on the 2.5 rs, belive me... from experience matt
