Hi guys,

going to view this car at the weekend and was wondering if there was anything in particular i should be looking out for with it? any other tips and advice are welcome. also there is a similar one in japcars just a little more expensive. i know the general consensus is to steer clear of japcars, is this in all cases or are there good stories to report along with the bad?

thanks in advance

Im not a fan of subarus but thats a nice looking one - a little overpriced for a 2000 - but nice looking nonetheless.

I'd steer well clear of japcars also, they are well known on here for selling clocked cars

Well its not overpriced.

All jap imports are clocked, so i wouldnt care much... As long as its tidy it will be grand.


Now you ever had a subaru? all jap Subarus need to be remaped for irish fuel. Find out is it remaped. If not, its an extra cash going for remaping.

Some poeple will advice an octane booster+e5, but it doesnt boost it that much. Something like 0.5 - 0.7...

Lovely car, but better get someone to look at it, join subaru club here in ireland and ask someone from dublin to go and check it out with you.

And yeah, that garadge is really bad reputation m8.

Thats a lot of car for just a shade over €4.5k. Looks very clean alright.
Sorry, but I can't coment on the Leggy's in general.

nope, never owned a subaru before but a long time admirer. thanks for the advice on the remapping they are questions i will be asking. checked the difference in insurance and there isnt even a big jump, only around 300euro for the last 6 months of the year. a friend of a friend is a member of the isdc ill ask him to take a look and see what he thinks, he knows his stuff

very good bud. make sure to sort out the remapping, or you will get your heart broken in first 3 days.
