Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 4 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 4 people together: the advert records 4 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 31 years old and 1 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 1995 Impreza uses Subaru's older EJ petrol boxer engines and manual gearboxes; many UK/IE examples have full-time AWD which is handy in wet weather but adds drivetrain components to inspect. Timing belt age/service, clutch condition and typical Subaru oil or cam‑seal leaks are what buyers usually need to watch on these cars; body rust around sills, wheelarches and the rear subframe is the biggest long‑term issue. Parts and independent mechanics are available but some trim pieces can be harder to find on a 30+ year car.
- Rust: check sills, wheelarches, lower doors, rear subframe and underbody for corrosion or patch repairs
- Timing belt and water‑pump history (replace if unknown or overdue) and signs of oil leaks from cam seals/head gasket
- Clutch bite point, slip under load and gearbox engagement for worn synchros or a tired clutch
- AWD/drivetrain: check propshaft/CV joints, centre/differential noise and even drive on a test run
- Suspension and shock absorbers for wear, and check for uneven tyre wear or rear spring sag
Spanner’s our AI mechanic — always have a proper look at the car in person before buying.
Following on from the hugely successful MK1 Impreza, the MK2 (GDB) was initially criticised for its headlights. Now, affectionately known as the “Bugeye”, this WRC championship-winning lineage is a far more sophisticated driving car than the vehicle it replaced. Twenty years on, it remains one of Subaru’s most successful rally cars and one of the rarest, having been quickly updated with new headlights. Unlike its predecessor, a two-door version never appeared, and this is arguably one of the best and rarest models available. The livery was inspired by one of the greatest Irish rally driver/navigator combinations of all time and is as close to a road replica as possible. The car includes numerous WRC-inspired parts and performance modifications. The engine is heavily modified; full specifications are available on request. All tie rod ends, anti-roll bars, trailing arms, drop links etc. have been upgraded. The car is just after a major service and is absolutely spotless and rust free. It can be sold with or without the livery (stickers). A sought-after private registration (E12 SRT) is included with the car. This is a special opportunity for a Subaru enthusiast or collector and, as a special edition, it is likely to appreciate for years to come.
