Hi guys, I've seen a sti for sale at Hurst cars, has anybody had any dealings with them?

 

Yea few lads on here. Do a Search. Not heard anything bad.

 

Bought a couple off them in the past, decent enough service.

Wouldn't get me paying the prices they're charging now though, but I suppose that applies to pretty much all price gouging Subaru traders.

I can only assume all these traders must have some alternative source of income given how long they seem to be prepared to have cars left sat around at eye watering prices waiting for some idiot to eventually rock up and pay what's being asked.

 

my sti is for sale

 

It's a hatchback jdm spec c I am looking at

 

 

I think their feedback is generally good.... and they stock some lovely cars. As above, overpriced.... but what trader isn't....

 

Post screen shot?

 

I've been to buy a couple of cars from Max at Hurst in the past and I have had no problem, straight forward and good to deal with. Most recently I went with a friend and he bought a genuine grade 4B STI blob, very nice condition, underside mint. I bought a V2 STI RA off him a couple of years ago which I loved.
As always do a Japanese history check on Car VX https://carvx.jp/ this gives you any past auction sheets and history of the car where documented. The Spec C hatch seems cheap but it has a few miles on (i'm not really up on prices with these) but i'd have no problem buying from him again, just do your homework beforehand.

 

Hi, thanks for your advise, I'll do some checks when I get more info on the car

 

 

Not sure i'd use him again tbh

 

Why?.

 

faults were found with the car when i had it inspected, yet he argued the toss about repairing it, although he did pay for most of it in the end. Engine blew up within 3k miles and then he accused me of trading in a lemon which turned out to be his own fault for letting the battery go flat, he didnt even appologise to me for making the accusations.

 

Was the engine built before you bought it? Just wondering how he'd know if the engine was going to fail or not?

 

stock engine. To be fair other than being down in power (about 240 instead of 280) engine ran ok

 

I suppose it's one of those things, still an older car at the end of the day which still gets driven quite hard! All you can is inspect as best as possible.

 

 

The reviews seem decent.

 

u need to buy mine rich lol

 

I'd say 2/3 years, it's not for me it's for the Mrs, I'll be speaking with them on Thursday to get the full spec/info, then I'll decide.

 

It's just abit more than I wanted to pay, loverly car by the way, all your cars are super clean

 

I knew the engine would need doing sooner or later, it was more the accusations and arguing with the faults that wouldnout me off going back.

 

 

Got my jdm v8 sti from Max in 2017. No problems what so ever. I had the car checked with car vx before the buy. Spot on service from Max.

 

Been in contact with Hurst cars, Max seems like a nice guy, the car I am looking at is a grade 3.5c

 

I wouldn't take much notice of tidgy, he just doesn't like anything unless it's scooby clinic.
at least one of max's employees won't have smashed it through potholes.
