Hi All,
Im new here, and I am looking at buying a 2.5T MY07 GT-B manual for around $9,000 (unreg as I will be buying interstate hence the lower price). The inital pictures show the car is in pretty good condition for the kms it has travelled and I have requested more pics. The only thing I am concerned about is the fact that it has done over 233,000kms. It has full service history from Subaru Dealers and the 200k service has been completed, so new belts and all that.. The car looks completely original, no aftermarket modifications etc.. The guy seems fairly keen to sell it, as he dropped the price from $11,000 due to me being interstate..
I will organise someone to do a pre purchase check to make sure there are no hidden issues the owner is trying to hide. The revs check also checks out too, so no issues there, but does indicate that the car has higher than average kms for its age (I think the original owner lived south of Geelong and commuted to Melbourne for work each day for the first 3 years of the cars life).
Honestly though, is a MY07 GT-B Sedan Manual with over 233,000kms worth buying, considering I am at my budget purchasing it..
Can anyone give me some advise? am i better off waiting/saving more $$ to buy something with less KMS or take a chance on this, and save for a rebuild/engine swap if i have any issues..
Thanks!!
