I want a impreza s.t.i. but do a high mileage of 20Kmiles a year,can anyone tell me of possible running costs?
Answers:
yes, lots and lots and even lots more,
you'll be very lucky to get 15/20 mpg out of either of those, but what a great 20 miles it'll be,,
check kbb.org. for kelly blue book's value.
how old are you and the car ?
They have a very soft engine. Although extremely quick, not all that tough a car! Never mind the petrol costs (which I am sure will be going up again soon).
Don't know, but if you're putting that many miles on it, there will be maintenance ever 3 years. I personally would get the Impreza without the turbo and see if you can order the 2.5 with single over-head cam. This will allow you to change the timing belt by yourself and the elimination of the turbo will eliminate future problems with the turbo as well as save you a lot of fuel. Good luck. I have a 95 Legacy with the 2.2 in it and just do not have any problems. 205K miles.
im selling my import sti8. fantastic car. imports need a high octane petrol plus an octane booster. british cars dont so this can add up. but keep the turbo down and its not too bad. you may average around 22mpg.
are you talking about to buy a 20k miles sti ? or you want to know the cost to drive a sti with 20k miles in a year?
Make your self clear
hi
You'll be having too much fun to worry about it.
Since they are basically the same car, all of your costs will be even across the board, with the exception of fuel cost (and of course the 7k difference in vehicle cost). I drive mostly city and I'm lucky to get 16mpg out of my STi, but that's just the way I drive.
If you planning on keeping it stock, with as many miles as you'll be putting on it; I'd go with the standard WRX. The ride is softer.
brake pads 200 quid fitted group 20 insurance 90 quid plus per tyre may only last 4500 miles cam belt change 800+ sevicig 250 to 600 quid but if you enjoy driving and can afford it good luck not forgetting super unleaded at 105 per litre 15 to 22 to the gallon ouch
