Default Hello, time to buy...but what???

Hello all,
Just joined as i am just looking to buy my 1st scooby but don't know which one. I've got up to £7k and like all models, but really an sti is as far as i've narrowed it. Just looking on autotrader for that money i could have a 1999 sti -v5/rb5, 2001 uk300 ltd, 2005 wrx non sti.
Ideally looking for something with farly low milage, and few extra's would be nice .
Thanks.

I'd go newage and blob eye STI if you can (although thats just because I like the shape).... sure you'll get one for that money if you hunt around and haggle hard!

That rb5 is stunning, the only thing that would put me off is the milage. i know the engine etc has been replaced/rebuilt but does it make it a better car than the V7 as they are about the same money? which would be more reliable?
Heart says the rb5, head says the V7..........decisions, decisions

i'd suggest the p1 ,might not be possible to get a good one for 7k though,had a look on autotrader, surprised at the amount of cars that are advertised as p1's that aren't unless they have all had resprays
