Honda Accord is code for "giving up on life" unless you mean one of these http://torque-gt.co.uk/car/honda-accord-euro-r/ but even then.

And yes, my current pair of Subarus are absolute knackers that I dived into buying for well over the odds

F1 you amuse me, you fall out with everyone, you need to stop hating football fans and guys who enjoy socializing over a few too many beers at the weekend mate.

That proves everything, I wouldn't like confrontation with anyone but you are clearly massively used to it

Just to satisfy my curiosity, I have had a search on a couple of the mainstream websites. Blobeye STI's with under 40k (of which there are few) are at around 9.5k - 10.5k. And rightly so.
Obviously, we would all like one of these at just £7.5k. Who wouldn't. But why would anyone SELL at this price when looking at similar condition/mileage cars?
Add to this that used cars prices have actually strengthened in the last 6 months - I honestly believe that you will not find one to your liking soon.
This is not a dig/insult/slur, I am just being honest.
You could be searching for a long time. The economy is picking up, less people are out of work than at the start of the recession in 2008, so people are more confident, especially when selling cars.
I know it's not the same car by any means, but I have just sold my wife's 06 Peugeot 107.
Autotrader said £1700 trade, £2450 private. I sold it for £2600 after just 4 days, to the first person that came to see it.
It is becoming a sellers market due to people having more disposable income, confidence or both.
In all honestly, I think you have missed the boat. I am not saying you won't find one to hour liking, but have you actually viewed examples up for £9k? Just to see what condition it is in.
Sorry about the slightly 'moody' posts the other day. Had a crap day at work and no patience for anyone.

The op may well have a issue if he wants to but a blob sti for 7.5k as you have demonstrated, thankfully he is NOT just looking for a blob sti, he has said many a time that a blob sti may be perfect but is looking at a veriaty of subaru's/sti.

Widetrack blob? Less than 50k miles? Mint bodywork? I sold the exact car you're currently looking for back in November 2012 for a smidgen under five figures. I'd have laughed my head off at an offer of £7.5k and anyone else with a car like that in their possession would do the same thing.

It's quiet refreshing to see someone who isn't rushing in to buy a car.
The spec,condition,low mileage do narrow down you search but so what!
You have already said you have found cars in the past that meet your high standards so there is no doubt you will find one this time even if it does take a while.
Your not spending £7.50 your spending 7.5k of your hard earned.
It took me ages to find a totally rust free classic RA but I found one in the end.
I say 'Good on ya' hold out and be as fussy as you like,this way you WILL find the car you want

What about one of these, http://torque-gt.co.uk/car/subaru-legacy-gtb-3/ ,it doesn't have to be a estate but the first one I came across, personally I would love another legacy, great car's and a real sleeper, which in the real world means that you won't have the local chavs trying it on.
