60 to 70k??

I think the average Km's per year is about 20,000Km. So I'll work around that figure

I'm sorry.... but you simply don't lap hard enough. You need to
lap... lap... then lap some more.... Any WRX with low k's isn't being
enjoyed to it full potential.

My 2000 model has done 129000 and is in immaculate condition.

Check for a good service history and you can't go wrong

Too much lapping.

I just clicked over 100k.

Unfortunately wrx's are becoming (if not already became) the azn commonwhore. It's just tooooo easy to buy a cluster with lower km's, plug it in and sell it privately. Although some cars have the genuine km's on the clock, i would be a bit sus on a car with minimal km's.

As krazcool said, 20Kk's per year is about 'average'

but then.....what is 'average'??!!

Good luck in your hunt! & remember, don't buy 'just any rex' cos you are desperate....wait for the right one. Test drive loads of the same models & you will hear some scary noises coming out of some of them!

So true... Wait for the right one. Took me ages to find an unmodified
WRC blue MY99 at the right price. Previous owner was mates with a
guy I work with. He would not let his wife drive it, or kids anywhere
near it, and rarely drove it himself. Great for me...

Hi pple, thanks for all ur advises. i think i need to have a serious look tru for the next two or three months to get a gd one. Does gd km's mean gd engine.. or regular services mean better. Cos some members reply saying that they have their car service regularly and the condition is GD...
