Hi,

New here looking into buying a Impreza P1 how to confirm the build number and its genuine?

Bonjour and welcome to SES.

Welcome
Why a p1 ? Pay a huge premium for one over a type r which is a better car

Ouch :lol:

I guess the P1 will be a better investment? They're already expensive compared to type r's but imagine the value is only going up....

By no means a P1 expert but things to look for:

Original P1 embossed rear spoiler
Unique blue P1 interior
Unique P1 front splitter
Wing badges
Boot badge
Numbered plaque in the car.

Other options that are nice are Alcon brake upgrade and 18" wheels and if you're really lucky the electric Recaros but they're a bit like hens teeth. Believe there was a P1 embossed back box as well, not sure if they were standard or an option.

Hello and :welcome: might want to join p1 owners club.... nice bunch of lads and lasses.

There was indeed, but they're equally as rare to find as the Recaros!

Indeed if you want an investment it’s the one to go for after the ridiculously expensive 22b

But if you want a car your going to use would get a different one. Not saying it’s a bad car but you don’t want to be driving it around and putting huge mileage on it .
Did see a p1 with 120k on a few weeks ago and still asking 20 k fir it

If No.3 big end is knocking then it's a real P1.
Only kidding.......

Welcome to SES.

Howdy do and welcome to SES, good luck with your search :ok:

:welcome: to SES. :five:

HI and Welcome to SES :ok:

Hello and welcome not a bad choice of car but they are expensive orinaments to own if you want a drivers car then invest in a type r .

Thanks for the warm welcome. I think I might go for the Impreza Type R or the newer WRX STI as I want to use the car not keep it as a orinament. The horror stories of engines letting go is a real put off the P1.

Welcome to SES, all the best with your hunt for the right Scoob.

If you want a sorted type r fire me a pm i would be happy to sell mine .
