My brother is looking for a P38 Rangie or an early MkII Impreza.
He's looking at the bottom end of the market....
Can someone give me a list of bloody good reasons why he should look for a Classic Rangie or a MkI Impreza instead? - I figure that if you're spending bottom end money, you're better off going for the earlier models and getting a slightly older, but much better example.
I only broke my Classic Rangie once; given the P38's reputation for 'leccy problems (I think PeteM's yer maun for that) it would've turned into a bloody lawn ornament.
The thing about Imprezas is to buy the best he can and not some chavved-up timebomb, especially if he wants a turbo. I mean, why bother with anything else? Buying the best he can would mean to buy an older, better looked after car IMHO...
Aye, P38s are such a bad idea - they appear to start at £3k, but £3k will buy you an absolute minter of a late Classic.
Again, I agree - 'bugeye' MkIIs appear to come in at £4k+, which will buy a really nice, low miles, MkI.
Personally, I'd buy a Legacy. Less likely to have been caned to death.
GTB of course! :)
tell him not to be a chav and get an early evo lil bit different i think, get an evo2-3 for £3kish i think
Lancer Evo II RS would be the one for me. Quite subtle - looks like a Proton, for obvious reasons.
... and a manual to boot, as the slushboxes on those aren't exactly the most durable ever made.
I *nearly* bought an original evo for something like 2k on fleabay about three months ago. Rather nice, it was.

My neighbour's got one of these. It's only got around 30k miles on it and recently received it's third engine, luckily the previous two were both replaced under warranty.
