[imprezaworks]

There's frikin loads, need to narrow the search lol

 

[yeecup]

Subaru, gc8 chassis , only about 8 on there. Sti with iirc 81000km v3 type r

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah yeah, very nice. What do you think price wise?

 

[yeecup]

I emailed them, was shocked with their estimate of 6500-8000 on the road. Jesus. Can buy one already over here for say 5000 for a v3 type r..

 

[imprezaworks]

That's just daft money, imported ones have allways been that way since I remember.

 

[yeecup]

Exchange rates plus shipping plus importers fees etc etc all adds up. Just not worth it these days

 

[imprezaworks]

Shame really

 

[yeecup]

Yep I need to move to Japan bet that sells for peanuts over there.

 

[imprezaworks]

Be cheaper to import one lol. But yeah your probably right. I've been in one of those before and to this day I've not been in anything that accelerates quicker, just yes!!

 

[coleman]

Here's one for you yeecup

[yeecup]

Nice! Added to my watch list

 

[yeecup]

Reckon that will go for circa 6k though

 

[coleman]

You think? I bet the starting price would get you it.

 

[imprezaworks]

4k?

 

[matt91]

don't they go for anything around the 7-8k? the things i'd do for a p1

 

[brisa4984]

love them.. some great examples here!

Would have one in a heart beat if i could afford the 400mile per week fuel bill.

 

[Herr Flick]

I really want a STI but for the use it will get, i'm thinking I may aswell just get a WRX Blobeye.

Some nice ones for circa £5.5k with about 300-330bhp. just like the fact the Sti has little extras and better internals/transmission.

 

[MickyWelsh172]

Been offered a 2.0 Sport Limited Edition in yellow for £1250, load of tax and mot, new clutch, cat and brakes.

X reg with 76k miles, decent price or not?

 

[imprezaworks]

Boring as hell. You going from a 172?

 

[Herr Flick]

Nope. Can get a classic WRX for that money.

 

[MickyWelsh172]

Thanks Rich. i'll let it go then

 

[MickyWelsh172]

Boring as hell. You going from a 172?

Yeah it would be to replace the 172, but i know id regret it. Rather keep this then get a Wrx if thats the case?

I think you'd regret not getting an STI and seeing as you swap cars as much as me, I think the STI would be the better seller, not that any Impreza is a good seller. Truly a buyers market.

I'm sure I would but like for like, there is as much as £3,000 difference in the two. Considering we have done less than 200 miles in the ST, I think it's safe to say we don't use it much so shouldnt really care. lol.

I only really want it for the winter anyway as they are epic in the snow/shitty weather (on winter tyres anyway)

If you can afford an Sti get one. A wrx would be an alternative

^^^ Not his but personally i think they look great in the black.

 

[imprezaworks]

not quite sure what is going on with the lack of discription


http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...mpreza-sti/subaru-impreza-sti-type-uk/1399483
really quite fancy a grey one tho.

 

[yeecup]

I'm more a classic man myself

I was thinking the same when I was on the hunt for my Subaru. Couldn't get an insurance quote under 5k so that was the STi's out the window lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

Bit out of touch with prices but they seem a tad dear? The blue one has crap wheels imo

[imprezaworks]

I need more money lol. The top one is lol at the price regardless of miles

 

[Herr Flick]

Yep. Couple of years ago I paid about £5700 for my jdm sti 2004 with circa 60k. They seem to have not moved or have gone up.

 

[imprezaworks]

You got a bargain back then. Twin scroll turbo on the Jdm?

 

[Willo]

That is a bargain. Paid 10k for my V9 STi blob 3 years ago. Sold my WRX SL for 7kat same time.
