Right some off you might now ive been looking for a new car ect and im a right fussy fucker and i was goin down the finance route. ..
Anyway went to view a astra 1.8 bertone and loved it but tonight as i just got in from work my bro was at home and basically said hes selling his subura.
All i know is its white 2.0 turbo,has 70k miles on it,Dump valve,5'' Hks full system and some mad Mushroom filter..black 17'' wheels and lowered..
How do i find out if its a Uk spec.. ect as ive not proberly had a look at it...i just said il think about it..
He's offered it me for 3k brother 2 brother price...but he wants 1k nexted week(when i get paid) to secure the car + to lay a deposit down on some Evo he wants...
I will be playin the poor brother and will get it cheaper  ..
For the People that have owned them are they reilable and fun to drive...He's had it 5months and i still havent drove it .
i been in it a few times and it loud and fast and brings a smiley to my face.
That is all.
Edit: This wont be my daily drive as i have a van for that.

Oh all right then
I didn't do much mileage but i got about 170/180 miles to a full tank (£35) not good but then again mine was on boost all the time because of the decat's.Mine was a WRX too.
This one sounds like a UK to me so insurance will be easy enough to get..give Gary Moulson a call at Keith Micheals he will sort you out.
Ditch the DV and put the standard airbox on and get a ECUTEK remap and you'll be laughing.
