Well,

I have had my my05 sti import for 6 months and I have to say it's been great fun !

far better that any other cars I have owned....type r....306 git 6 etc....

But last month I worked out how much in a week I am spending on fuel !....I do 60 miles aday up and down the M6 car park and it's still costing me best part of almost 2 tanks a week !!!!

It's just becoming a pain in the *RSE.....

So I decided to put her in the Auto trader and look for somthing that will give me a bit of fun as well as 35mpg.........and as soon as I manage to sell it....it's gona be another type r or the new golf gti ....

But how much should i have put it in the trader for ????????

6months old
perfect cond
black jacx
tracker monitor
9800 miles.....

how much ????????????

it's in for 18,450.....yep that's 18,450...after only 6 months....i paid 22k from motor point....

Fun at a price......PRICELESS !

 

M8, if I was you I would be gutted, but surely knew about the STi's love of Optimax and howmuch it woulc cost you before you bought it?

This is why I bought the WRX, could you imagine the fule bill doing about 2.5k a month.

 

Yeah your right I did know about how the sti sucks fuel up....but the price for the past few months has gone through the roof...!


so if anyone is interested in a sti bargin please let me know !

is your wrx a lot better on the fuel ?

 

I get about 27mpg which considering the performance and the fact I have lead lined boots aint too bad

 

When you say "import" where exactly was it imported from? Japan or Europe?

 

Hi,


It's a Euro Import !

Like I say i am gona miss it......but i guess i need to cos 60 miles aday is painfull.

 

In fact, anyone want to purchase a bargin ????????

 

after you've slated it for it's fuel consumption, no thanks

 

yes yes i know but not many people do 20k a year .....!

 

just kidding, if I could live with the extra petrol cost, £450/month is enough for me, I would consider it.

 

Hi mate i know exactly how you feel. had to sell mine. Had to say my goodbyes on tuesday

 

looks very nice......


my problem is i will have lost 4k in 6 months.......and to settle for a golf gti.... just wont be the same..........!

 

how did you sell yours...???? autotrader ????

 

yep auto trader, bought by a copper. very nice fellow going to miss it though, im driving a xantia to work and back, 88mile round trip every day.

 

So how many MPG were you getting? I'm just about to take the plunge and get an STi and i do similar motorway miles, approx 50 per day. What do you reckon that will cost me?? I'm already thinking it will have to be a monday & friday to work in the Sti, the rest of the week in the run around.

 

Chipped Fabia vRS ???

 

Well I was doing 60miles per day of normal motorway driving and it was costing me min £60 a week and if i used it on the weekend and another £20....

Before anyone ask's I wasnt booting it every where as it's just not possiable on the m6....


And some nice man is picking it up from me next monday so it's gona be a sad day !!!! boo hoo

 

Go on then Have a guess ! 6 months old euro import sti my05.....perfect with full security ! tracker....clifford g5 with black jax ??????????????

sold to the man !!!


it's gona be a sad day !

how much ???

 

£16750?

 

What colour? Is it still for sale?

 

all these sh#ty euro imports are cocking up my sale.
JDM is much better but am i askign to much for my car?..............20k

 

Well it went for £18,300.....it's is a big loss....but I I didnt have much choice....


Yep I can imagine it is messing up sales of JDM version's.....and yes they are better cars.....

but like me i guess when you purchased the car you also knew how expensive they are to own....


If you want sell it... Put it the autotrader....just make sure you never give anyone your home address...as I had a few calls after just my address...!
