Cool MY03(53) STI Prodrive PPP Type UK

.
***New Price! - Please scroll down for info***
.
For sale is my 53 plate STI Type UK PPP 305bhp (Prodrive Performance Pack) with FSH by Subaru Dealer in Gleaming Black Metallic with just 45K Miles and in Fantastic Condition.






- Prodrive Performance Pack (Upping the power from 265 standard to 305bhp)
- Prodrive Handling Pack (Uprated Prodrive Red Springs)
All fitted by supplying Subaru Dealer from New with Prodrive certificate.

Additional optional extras fitted from new by supplying Subaru dealer:
- Genuine STI mudflaps (£350!)
- Lamco Turbo Boost Gauge


- Full Service History with receipts all by Subaru Dealer, just turned 45,000 Miles.
- 2003 Model Year Registered September 2003 so on a 53 plate. (On Private plate at the moment)

- Beautiful Gleaming Black paintwork with the metallic flecks.
- Matching Bridgestone Potenzas all round on unmarked gold alloys.
- Silver front STI stickers fitted by me in place of the pink (sorry, cerise!) colour.
- Dark tints to rear windows only.
- Autostyle STI interior overmats.


All UK STI refinements inc;
Tracker,
Thatcham Cat 1 Alarm,
Remote Central Locking,
Alcantara Interior,
Air/Con,
CD,
Brembo Brakes,
IC Water Spray,
6 Speed box, etc, etc

- MOT'd, Tax'd and HPI clear.


Everything else is completely standard and not messed with! Only the Genuine, factory backed, Prodrive upgrades.

Its fully serviced with every dealer stamp in the service book and un-abused – I’ve always used Shell Optimax / V-Power, warmed up, cooled down, etc.
In beautiful condition both inside and out.

It Drives Fantastic (Steering, Suspension, Gearbox, Brakes, everything, all still feel solid) and is Totally Reliable (Its had a new battery and the rear shockers that always knock on STI’s have been replaced. Its also just had a brand new set of Front Discs and Pads fitted)

When I bought this I took my time to find the right car, I wanted a mint Black one, but with all the Prodrive goodies with low miles and Full Service History. It took me six months to find this one and I've kept it for a faultless two years, but due to a genuine lack of use (with a company car its now our 3rd car) its time to move on.

Edit: SOLD!


Update:
Right, It’s been for sale on here for two weeks or so and I’ve had a decent response with good feedback by pm (The right spec, the right colour!, etc) and its not really the price that’s come as an issue, more like must sell their car, too far to travel, etc.

But I’m not wanting to advertise forever, So I’ll try to stir a few of you into action and say…..
First offer of £11750 gets it Or a VERY REALISTIC offer somewhere near.

Just in response to some of the questions I’ve had:

I’m the third owner. The first owner emigrated after about ten months from new, the second owner kept it for 18 months and I’ve had the car for two years. (So everyones liked it!)

The body is in fantastic condition with no dents, dings, scrapes, etc. The paintwork is the lovely Black Mica, which reflects with several different coloured flecks in the sun. Looks stunning!

The drive is faultless. All the Prodrive upgrades are already on and have been from new. The matching Bridgestones are good all round and its just had a Brand New set of front discs and pads only 10 miles ago! Theres nothing to spend on ‘putting it right’ and its ready to go.

Imagine how flabbergasted I am then mate! Yes, on PH.

Just had a local guy come and view it this afternoon and he absolutely loved it. In his words “Couldn’t ask for anything more, its perfect”. We both went away gutted because he has to sell his Golf tdi first, which even that isn’t selling at the moment!

I never comments on threads like this about how nice the car is or whatever, but I seriously can't believe that this hasn't sold. If I didn't have one already, I'd buy it!

I travelled from the NE to London to buy mine, distance isn't a problem if it's the right car!

Good luck, hope someone snaps it up soon.

Thanks for the great comments.
I know what you mean lordretsudo. It took a 450 mile round trip (to the North East actually!) just to take a look at this one and then another 450 miles to pick it up. Worth every mile though! I wasted a lot more miles looking at others.

Nice analogy Growler!
From what I’m seeing though, nothings selling at the moment. Doesn’t matter what price (within reason) you put a car up for.


I’m not desperate to sell so wont give it away at any cost just to get a quick sale, but having said that I would like to move on so, I will listen to REALISTIC OFFERS somewhere near my asking price.

Great looking car I also travel far & wide to buy my cars I generally sell mine first though before looking at other peoples as I wouldn't like my time wasted so don't waste the time of other people

Best of luck.
