Bucky92

I got a call yesterday from the Dealer while I was at work.He basically said I had to call them right away they have some news. I called them and he said to bring down 2 items ( a pay check stub and a phone number for something) We went down and he said he could get me the car..one of the big banks was pursuaided( spelling) to give me the loan...But we checked what the diff would be if Tommy co-signed and it brought the intrest way way way down..I got the car for $500 down and $370 a month no trade in. And the EA82 wagon can be put on hold for now...I am keeping the XT6 and going for some intense restore work on that now since I wont have to keep it available for back up. Mary I am not turning to the NASIOC board...My heart and soul is with USMB and the XT board...dont forget I still have Rocky!! And he is going no where any time soon

Tim..probably around the $700-$800 range..I havent gottne the title to it yet and as soon as I do i will deside.. As for the Bucky comment...I actually got that feel from these Imps..we will see...can't wait

No where close to as much as ..say..a Loyale or Lego...but its wider then the earlier Imps its 19 cu ft with the seat up and 44 cu ft with the seat down...Its actually very roomy.

This is what it will look like ..just add a roof rack: It still hasnt sunk in yet...I cant believ I got a new new Subaru

Yup..but mine is white....but will have a roof rack. Hey..I still have the XT6:grin:

Sorry wrong forum...but..you all are so close to me...I went and did it today.I am now the proud owner (OK well ..I pick it up Thursday or Friday) of a 2008 Impreza 5 door 5 spd 2.5i Satin Pearl White with roof rack :slobber: Wow a brand new Subaru!I am :banana: :banana: My current 93 imp will be for sale soon cheap. pics as soon as the car is here

Well... I just got back from my local dealer...and well...I pick up my new Impreza Thursday or Friday. I just bought an 08 5 door 5 spd ..Satin Pearl White with opional roof rack ,bumper cover,heavy duty mats and cargo tray..Just got the 2.5 i model cause I dont need all sorts of crazy frills. It hasnt sunk in yet wont until I pick it up...OMG I can't believe I just bought a brand new Subaru!!

Thanks but the dealer never called back..probably cause my credit is too poopy to get the payment where I want it..so no new car for me. ( Like I would expect any different:-\ ) Stuck with my 93 garbage Imp with 235K miles that I just dont like a whole lot

Many have driven without the suspension..riding on the bump stops...but not very enjoyable from what I understand..like Turbone said...dont plan on keeping your kidneys if you do. My XT came from the factory with a 6 cyl in it;) fits just nice a cozy too

Congrats!! I used to have a Justy...and it really wasnt bad at all to work on.I had a little FWD 5 spd..what are gas pumps??? I saw them rarely!!! I used mine for a newspaper delivery car and it never gave me any problems..till one of the main bearings in the motor started to go...but I still drove it for 10K miles like that.awesome little cars!!

all I can say is about the air suspension....swap it to coil over...the air can be a bugger to get working again or expensive to replace. Plus the coil over will stiffen the car up. go to http://subaruxt.com/forum for all your XT needs

I dont know how your rust issues are....but thats a big factor with them ( yes we have the 1.8 turbos here) the front unibody likes to rot away. They are also very very prone to headgasket failure..all EA82Ts are..If it has the air suspension..thats another failure point and can be extremely expensive to fix unless you just do what most of us do..and swap it over to coil over.It can also be hard to find parts for...but all in all they are a fun car...I have an XT6 model and once all the bugs were worked out its a fun car. so basically..head gaskets,air suspension,unibody rot, and brittle wireing are some issues..I am sure others will chime in on more things:) Also go to http://subaruxt.com/forum for all your XT needs

I took a 2.5i model out for a spin today...and I fell in love with it.I will know tomorrow what they would havew to do to get me into one at the payment I want...trying for a Satin White Pearl 5dr 5 spd 2.5i base model... :slobber: :slobber: 100% improvement compaired to my 93 Imp

Those poor 3ATs suck..At least you know and understand...those EJ27 love to haul...and feel good doing it.If I baby it..it will stall and give me grief..when I "play" it will purr like a kitten for weeks...Think I am taking the XT6 to work today instead of the Imp;)

I am bad ...especially when I drive the XT6...45-50 in 30 zones ( unless its residential) usually around 80+ highway...and I beat the snot out of it..but it likes it..seems to run better if I dont baby it..I have pegged the speedo too ( at 135:eek: ) ...I am always a 10 or more over the speed limit kind of driver...I know..I am bad. back on subject...around here the whole EA series is becoming rarer by the day..I have seen maybe 8 EA82s and 3 EA81s around...and toss in the XTs..even less...I pretty much know who has them

I found a picture of my XT6 with snow in it...and before it turned into the bumblebee that it is now ( and dont forget it uses the same platform as the EA82s ) Too bad in this shot you cant see what a rot box it was at the time>:

Me too.. I was looking at a white 5 door ( I just love white cars) and we are trying to figure out how to get the payments down to affordable...Going to have to save up alot more for a down payment...it really sucks when your trade in is a POS and they want you to pay them to take it off your hands;)

My husband and myself have been discussing..that maybe this spring..well we might break down and finally get me a new new car.We are seeing how things go with my new job..And I have been seriously leaning toward the 08 OBS .. It is killing me not having a wagon around..and the 08 wagon I fell in love with is ALOT more then I want to spend ( Outback Turbo Wagon ) And the new Imp 5 door is slowly growing on me...I am planning on taking one out for a test drive soon.I need a 5 door or a wagon..I hate having a sedan ...

I really wish you were closer Tim. .I would have gladly let you use my new Lincoln Electric One..Its a gasless wire feed but works good and its new and under warrentee so if anything happened ..

This is about it for my pics of my/backwoodsboys Loyale involving snow.... I hate the cold and I hate snow so I like to stay inside in front of the fireplace watching out my big picture window. I am curious how the Imp is going to be..never really got to drive my XT6 in the snow cause it was broke down alot last year..and it will never see road salt again

Just curious...when you are cranking it over...when cool or cold...is it cranking slowly or at the same speed as when warm? You mentioned you put a new coolant temp sensor in it... have you tried resetting the ECU? Just trying to get some ideas and some really simple fixes first.

Back from Marys..sorry we couldnt stay longer but I had to worry about the dog ( she was a very very good girl..no messies!!) Nice meeting everyone and 91Loyales lifted wagon is just plain badazz!!. Mary has one of the nicest Halloween set ups ever!..that coffin with the smoke that smelled like beer...too cool! . Saw the Brats up close and all I have to say is WOW!! the work into them is amazing! Anyway..oober tired going to bed now

Just pour some in till it reaches the full mark...about a half a can( I have never used more then half a can in the crank case)..run it for at least 100 miles ...just make sure you dont over fill

Sorry to disapoint..but I think we are just going to bring the impreza up...its pouring out and I still havent gone over the Rockster ( check oil etc) and his trunk still need emptied and stuff swapped from the Imp ( travel stuff..jack etc). On a good note...I am making home made banana bread and pumpkin bread to bring up:grin: ..OK back to the kitchen;)

I hit 3 deer while delivering newspapers a few years ago...one was in my Justy doing about 65 on the highway...all it did was put a small dent in the hood.... I am terrified now though cause I have a good commute to work..all back roads and days I drive my XT6 I am just terrified...If anything happened to that car I would die. Seems you do less damage at higher speeds then slow..like the Justy...it just leg swiped it and it flew over the car...yet when I hit one doing 25 in my crappy Cavalier..over $1700 It doesnt matter..it sucks to hit anything..
