- Pre-Purchase inspection for 1993-2001 Subaru Impreza models. Where does rust typically develop? How can I tell if the low mileage advertised is correct? I dive into these questions in this video. Hope you enjoy - Cheers!

*Rust* stick your hand up the rear wheel wells into spring turrets feel the outboard side of the 'box' that the spring is in this can be really crusty or holed on a GC8 or early GD without necessarily showing signs of corrosion on arches or at arch to bumper join....especially over here in UK
How on Earth is your subscriber count so low!? This is probably one of the most in depth guides I’ve saw to buying a car, definitely subbed and look forward to further videos!
Dude - thanks!!! Appreciate the kind words BIG time!!! 👍
Man... I remember being able to find these all day for 2-3k.
*More hidden rust* bottom radiator support panel can rust & be hard to see behind bumper especially if engine undertray is still fitted, as can side skirts can hide hidden corrosion of sills/rockers or kick panels depending where you are from, although a good indicator will be condition of the exposed metalwork at the jacking points.
Great car. I have the same exact car only all original and a manual. I need those door cards…..they are so hard to find. 😔
Had a 1998 OBS 2.2 manual for 8 years. Started rusty around the windshield but fixed it. Underbody rusted and quarter panels. Maintained it for as long as I could. After 100k engine still strong and trans still going all gears.
The car was on coils lightweight pulley. Was great and stable on Colorado and New Mexico roads. Best Subaru I’ve owned until I took it back to Chicago for the rust cancer to kill the underbody frame to cause to crack.
Still want another one in the future
looks like a cleaner version of a 95 sedan impreza L I bought a few months back. Got it for 2k! Would've loved this video for when I went to buy it
Nice price man!!!
What a beauty
👍
Very nice 👍
👊
Do you think impreza GC8A atmo is a good first car? Will it daily?
Could you speak more on the costs of the vehicle and importation to Australia and how you came to be a part of this process? I would love to import a car like this
They'd have to convert it to RHD or wait until it's 30 years old to register it.
I’ll try to put something together, I agree. It’s interesting to me, prob some of you.
Nice! Yeah it’s an interesting topic, especially with cars and the different “hidden costs” along the way in this process. Looking forward to your next Video! Keep up the great content!
Yes, but that’s not too hard, and the prices for 2 doors are going crazy!!!!
Thanks!!! Cheers!!! 🍻
I've my Subaru Impreza sadan with the ej16 1997 an its starting too make clicking sounds an Its become really slow any help end there is a video On my TH-cam of the sound :(
Maybe CV joint?
@@SubaruONLY no its from the motor its making a clicking sound :(
Hey. I love your videos. Do I need get GD front subframe / crossmember for EJ257 in my GC chassis? I have 2000 Impreza L coupe. Any advice for me? I would love to listen
Are you selling? Lol just read it $7,000 is not bad I just wished it was a stick
Love your channel. What's the chances of you coming out to SoCal and reviewing my 95 STI RA? Fat chance, I know, but had to ask.
Never know… I do head down that way every so often! 😁🤙
You should come down, I would give you full access to my car, it's a beauty.
That sounds awesome. Love to take a closer look at it!!! Let’s stay in touch. I’ll post when I’m headed down south. Cheers man!!
Awesome! Where are you shipping the coupes too in aus and are any up for sale?
Long story but all deals have fallen through and with COVID, shipping is now more complicated.
@@SubaruONLY well hey if any of the coupes are still available when they get to aus I might have to sell my wrx for one, also COVID has made shipping insanely pricey and difficult to ship stuff.
I hear ya, COVID and international shipping is crazy now days. Big time!!!
I would love to do a ground up 2 door coupe build and go the 22B style widebody. I tried even getting a 2 door Retna GC6 from Japan and it was $20K Aus to be imported nothing else and all I want is the shell to build it up. I would be interested if there are options to import to Aus from the US. Anyone know of any?
Quite a few hoops to deal with on both ends - but the shipping alone isn’t too bad, around $3-$5K 👌
@@SubaruONLY That's not too bad for shipping at all really. Thanks for the info and love your channel, very informative and helpful 👍
Thanks buddy! 👊
Zip ties on the radiator support?
Yes, little janky - I agree! 😂
No, that's how I use mine too hold the front grille on. The plastic clips are bound to break. The radiator support is bolted in.
👍
Let me at this car. How much do you want for it?
The obvious question..why would an Australian importer want to import a LHD Subaru ?
Because we didn't get 2 doors.
Yep - what he mentioned! 👇👇👇 they didn’t get the 2DR coupes and they are crazy expensive down there!!!
Yep, exactly!!! 👌👌👌
What happened to this guy?
Il give ya $500 for it
