Bough my new SUBI!

  Top of Page

well i bought a subaru!

just not a liberty.

after shopping around for insurance and such, and looking at my fiancial situation, i was limted to a very small number of cars. e,g i looked at a skyling, non turbo- 4500 to insure! the plan was to sell my bike, then of coarse use funds to buy car. well bike aint selling, and its been a month since i had a car and really need one for work and social life ( there aint hardly any public transport where i live out in the sticks.)   

so i choose to finance, but........ through my business which ment car has to be less than 3 years old ( dont know why, but it was terms of the loan ) but the interest was lower than any of the banks so that was all good. there was other bulls**t involved with it but i wont go into it so yah.

anywayz i went in to test drive a liberty that i rang about, nice clean 05 model, low ks and etc etc... got there and it had been sold! bastards.

so i looked at the MY08 impreza........ i looked........looked........and contary to the pictures on the web, it is a really nice car to look at in person......especially in white.  so in a go for a test drive and yes i was impressed. i drove an 05 model impreza yet i still seemed to like the 08 more.

then of coarse there was interior wise and i have to say it s**ts all over the old model.

but that wasnt nearly the best part. to insure the liberty, was about 2 grand.

to insure the 08 impreza was only 1500. and a 700 excess, which is s**t loads better considering my record....

so i played cat and mouse with dealer before landing the car for 28500. with free fuel, sub and amp, mats, 12month rego and ctp, and other goodies the dealer through in.

best part is i pick up this friday!

so yeah, it wasnt a liberty. but it still was a very nice car to drive, and given the added bonus of me needing extra space in the back ( the seats fold down and make it like a van sorta thing ) and it being a small hatch ( i will be driving to city alot this year for work and schooling ) i thought it was the best for me. btw, the 08 model was cheaper to insure than the 07!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like wtf bbq?1?!!??!!1111?!

already have the rims picked out and maybe an exhaust if i can find one for the 08. not to fused on body kit atm ( which is why i didnt buy the RS given its the same as the rx bar the body kit and bucket seats - yes suspension and engine same).

cant wait to bring her home!!!!!!!!!!!!

without further adue, here are the pics.

and yes, i have the riot gear on stand bye for all the people who think it looks s**t or like a mazda. if the mazda was AWD then yes, it would be a waste to buy. but it aint so shadap and appreciate big_smile

i drove one when i took my car for a service and it was ok for what it was.

gutless though

Re: Bough my new SUBI!

well i wanted somthing with a bit more grunt, but insurance was a bitch.

i didnt like it untill i drove it and compared it with the liberty.

it did grow on me while i was looking for cars and it came down to this and an 05. i liked the look of the 05 but loved the drive of the 08. and the 05 wasnt that much cheaper.

im glad some people are seeing the good side of it and now what it could have been. if i wanted a boy racer i would have bought the mitsubishi.

rims going on next week. having alot of trouble deciding on 17 or 18. besides price i dont know if i should go too low a profile and i dont want to recalibrate the speedo and void warranty?


any suggestions?

nah, hate front wheel drive.

not because i drive like an idiot but i just dont like their characteristics.

i drove them, and yeah the sp23 had more go, but i aint interested in going fast in a straigh line.

good stuff mate.

I just picked up my brand spanking 08 WRX in wrc blue. All i can say is, its fecking awesome.

Its not as quick as my B4 was, but the b4 was modded, but it is an absolute awesome drive. Sticks like sh!t to a blanket...... all over the b4 when it comes to corners and its more comfortable to cruise in and actually has more grunt than the B4 did down low.

Im glad i bought it........ but im already thinking of springs and exhaust....... so i can get it to look and sound better..... need that burble back.

i dont mind it but i wud prefer if it wasnt an impreza, should have been a new car, bcuz the impreza was distinct in its shape and the fact it was a sedan!

never was a fan of the hatch imprezas but thats just me.
libertys in wagon ftw!

nice buy tho mate, it better get that classic wrx/gt/b4 rumble...

congrats on the 08 WRX, yes i jealous, but there will be a time for that latter.

picked my car up yesterday i can only praise it. i get the sub and amp combo put in and no s**t it sounds better than my mates system in terms of clarity and sound quality. now considering he spent over 3 grand, yes his was louder, but to the point of panel vibration and distortion. i didnt expect such great sound from my car.

B42: if you find any after market exhaust systems of good quality let me know and we'l see if we can organise a group buy or something because that is deffinatly what i am looking at first besides a slightly stiffer set of springs tongue

Re: Bough my new SUBI!

Same here, my brother wrecks my last car. It was a good car. But, I did get a much better car, the liberty tongue

The car was a total lost I can say since I will need about $5000 to fix it, which is little bit more than the marker price of the car.

Here is the pic, before and after:
