It owes me more than £2200 now, I put it into the bodyshop the week after I bought it and it had a full respray other than the roof and rear tailgate. Even with the paint i've had done its still a cheap for a WRX PPP Wagon and i could make a tidy profit on it if I were to sell it I would think.

It was local to me actually, it was up for £2700 as the bodywork needed some TLC, lots of parking dings etc. But it was geniune 55k miles, full service history, it drove beatifully, had the PPP kit and prodrive springs. So made an offer and the rest is history.

you generally get what you pay for with these cars.

Yeah mechanically its wanted for nothing, cambelt was done at 35k, all services etc. But just needed a tidy up, very happy with it now though.

Budget's around £4000 & it would have to be a wagon or hatch for our dog. Our French booze runs would probably need the extra space of the wagon too!

classic bug or blob really or possibly a non turbo hawkeye.
the first three will have the 2.0 engine the hawk has 2.5 which not only is in the high tax bracket but the 2.5 is a crap unreliable engine too.

id say you have no chance of getting a hatch for 4k, so that just leaves wagons.

Still looking for something for up to 4k.
Cant find a bug sti anywhere as the one on Pistonheads sold (although the seller relisted it yesterday??)
Would also consider a Type R or well modded newage WRX. Tempted by the silver one on the 1st page but I dont know enough about the car.

Will consider a well sorted classic Sti, type r that needs work or maybe a decent spec bug. £3.5k to spend, may be able to go a bit more.
I cannot go more than 4k so please dont post anything over this. Cheers
