Need help getting back in the fold. - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

STIwish · 2004-01-29, 10:09 PM

Okay, I am trying to find a 95+ Impreza L AWD for under $8k from a dealership with good financing (Im going to need it), if any of you guys have seen a lonely Impreza collecting dust on a lot... LET ME KNOW!!

Kevin M · 2004-01-30, 06:20 AM

There's usually a few on eBay. Try a credit union for financing. That's the advice I give because none of the lots around me will have anything more than 3-4 years old on them.

JC · 2004-01-30, 07:23 AM

Why a 95+?

ZER026D · 2004-01-30, 10:09 AM

96 and newer have OBD2 makes it better for the swap.

Good point.

ZER026D · 2004-01-30, 11:12 AM

Since getting the car wired again is the hardest part it would be alot harder to convert from ODB1 to ODB2. I have read that conveting the other way like making a car OBD1 that is OBD2 is not as hard. There is no point in doing this all the tuning stuff we like is for OBD2.

:shock:

Thats what I was thinking as well, but financing is going to be one hell of a mess for me, its going to take one hell of a leap of faith from ANYONE to give me the loan, as I have a recent repo and so much debt that its scary.

STIwish · 2004-01-30, 11:35 AM

I could deal with a newer car, but I havent found any that start under $10k.

ZER026D · 2004-01-30, 11:39 AM

You need to go to autotrader.com and look I have found tons my dad is getting one this week.

STIwish · 2004-01-30, 11:57 AM

What about this? Think its a good deal? Whats a Brighton?

ZER026D · 2004-01-30, 01:17 PM

Dont know look at this one http://autotrader.com/findacar/image...n&color=&#main

ZER026D · 2004-01-30, 01:35 PM

ZER026D · 2004-01-30, 01:41 PM

Even better http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...=&cardist=1602

STIwish · 2004-01-30, 03:13 PM

I love the first and the last, but the distance and the fact that they are private owner deals kills me because there is no way to finance

ZER026D · 2004-01-30, 09:19 PM

That sucks the best way to swing a deal is to have cash.

STIwish · 2004-01-30, 10:47 PM

Which is REALLY hard on minimum wage when you're spending as much as you are getting in.

sperry · 2004-01-31, 01:15 AM

The Brighton was a special model of the Legacy Wagon with AWD and virtually no other optional type accessories, i.e. no power windows, no ABS, no leather, etc. I think the idea was a capable, no frills, affordable wagon. I beleive it was also the lightest of the Legacys.

Would make an awesome starting place
