August 2, 200520 yr hello, This is my first post in the "new" car section. I have a Q about an impreza I found while sailing through the woods of maine in my old loyale... A hood scoop jumped out me as well as the fish bowl look in the amount of glass windows on this car. I was not interested at first until I realized the simplicity of this 2000 model rs 2.5 aspirated 5 spd manual. I immediately thought of my old 87 dl and its manual everything.Under the hood was my mechanical satisfaction of intake and engine , not much more! Unable to find this unglorified model of AWD full time exactly, I am curious to know if the $5500 us is too much.It has 131k, and many paint dings across the front (like my loyale). The mechanic let me start it and there is a mellow valve tapping (doesn't go away). He also mentioned a repair that was identical to my 93 loyale... The rotors up front were unrealistically bad(like brake stuck on?) Another ironic prob was heat shield rattling, I joked "Some noises haven't gone away":) (Like evry older soob I've encountered in Maine, with some miles on it) Looking to upgrade to simply newer, any advice on this model? I personally feel it is way too high, There are loyales, like mine with similar miles, enough power, same probs, selling for cheap to nothing!
