75subie Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 who here owns a high milage 93-95 imp? i am looking at a 93 awd 5speed wagon for $300, but it has 330,000 miles:eek: i`m thinking the life expectancy is about up lol. i haven`t been able to get in touch with the people yet, but the interior is nice (all power w/ air cond) tires and exhaust are new. haven`t even seen the motor yet. do you guys think its worth it. i`m almost thinking of buying it just as an expirament to see how many miles can be squeezed out of an imp. please tell your high milage stories:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanski06 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 my 96 impreza 2.2 awd 5-speed has 198,000 miles....and i still drive it like cars should be driven......for 300 bucks, i would definately buy it just as an experience.....that and for someone who doesnt have a car at all...and cant really afford one that is the perfect candidate.....if it was near me...i would buy it in a second and just take it offroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75subie Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 i`ll try and get some pics, its got some rust, but not too bad. it would be killer for offroad with some forester struts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxkelowna Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 i know its not an impreza but my 92 legacy has 302,000km (187,662miles) and runs strong still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanski06 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 man if i lived a little closer to u....i'd probably buy it myself but gas is too high to start driving for a 300 dollar car haha ....unless....i could turn it into a trip haha, go see the statue of liberty of something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subeman90 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'd do it and if the motor bites it then go to Harry's and get a lower mileage one and you are off and running again. You know if you want a $300 car you should buy that one that Paul has posted in the classifieds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 i like Paul's glf, but its auto, and fwd:-\ i really like that the imp is 5sp awd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subeman90 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I ment the GL wagon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 i think that might have some pretty bad rust underneath by the sounds of it. this imp had some rust along the rear wheel wells, but underneath was solid. i like Paul's t-wagon too though:D i just can`t cough up 1100 right now. i have to sell this honda i have sitting here.

Chris W. Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 My Daughter just purchased a 93 1.8 Impreza with 220,000+ miles. I tell you what, that thing screams! It is a much nicer car than my 93 Loyal with 160,000 miles....(however I am still partial to my beloved ea82). For $300 you couldn't go wrong (esp. with a newer motor installed ). Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I should buy that Impreza myself. That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, an Impreza wagon, 5spd AWD. Then my EJ18 project will be code-named "High-Mileage" I've got an EJ18 sitting in my garage with 230k on it. Report from the prev. owner told me it ran fine, it was just leaking oil everywhere. I'm gonna use the block for an interesting build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
