The one we're looking at is a delivery mileage, pre registered car and is a fair bit cheaper than list price

It's got foglights aswell though, so new covers would be needed.
Wouldn't mind a bugeye STi Prodrive though, in black

Its an STi with te spoilers removed, sat nav and camera detector and blue tooth phone built in and full leather.
Sat nav is crap and the other bits are cheap and easy to add. even the leather ca be done for around a grand max.
unless your getting it cheap I would go for it. your better off buying a cheaper Sti and change the bits yourself. that way you can eiher change it back at sale time or flog the bits on flea bay.
I fear the spec d will not be the most successful special edition subaru have ever done.

plus they shouldve done a full spoiler delete at the back and gone for a boot lip spoiler like on the A spec in japan ( or whatever they call it, the one lichfield have modded for the descreet t25 version anyway) in my opinion lol

for clarification, old sun roofs were metal
moon roof indicates that it is glas and retracts into the roofliner, not just pops up.
sorry for the yank terms.... i am going to go close my hood and trunk, and fill up the car with gas, and shift the gears in my tranny. any others you can think of? er... use my cell phone and turn on the tv,

Core blimey my threads only gone a little off topic!
Thanks for the opinions.
Anyone got any facts? Whats the leather like? Is is it likely to hold value any better than your average WRX / STi?
