Sold my GT4 today so i'm officially on the hunt for an STI

Was a weird morning got a phone call from a Finnish mobile number this morning asking if I could meet him at Newcastle train station before 3.00 today.

Expecting to be mugged or ripped off I took my brother with me. Turns out these guys are Import Car dealers in Finland, checked out their website and phoned the number and all checks out fine.

Anyway to cut a long story short I got £3650 for the car, in cash (and its real haha) so i'm on the lookout for an STI, hopefully a bit cheaper than that cos I need cash for insurance.

 

TAKE YOUR TIME!!!
seriously, act in haste repent in leisure.

while you might be gagging to get an sti there are a hundred dogs/lemons to every good car so go see 101 of them and buy the best

 

+1.

Nothing worse than getting a wrong 'un. Get a good Subaru, and you'll love it. End up with a bad one and say goodbye to the contents of your wallet.

 

Yeah cheers Peanuts i'm going to take my time buying one and not just jump in. I took on board what you said yesterday.

 

agree, make sure you look at plenty. there are too many dogs about these days with no service history and poor mods ready to go bang.

 

Well i've seen a few that I want to go and take a look at this weekend. Here they are:

You reckon they are both work a look? First one looks a nice clean example!

Looks good. I went for a totally std one cos ive been burnt on modded cars before.

Its the v4 too. I chose v4 as the inside and outside has some tweaks which i preferred.


Subaru Impreza STIs for Sale

take ur time mate and dont inpulse buy . there are some right ****ters out there that look nice but are knackered underneath ,


the black scoob looks nice

 

Well i've arranged to pop down to see a member off here's (Keith) 96 STI RA and I quite like the look of it. Sound good?

 

yes your good to with an enthusiast owned car like i did.
I said i would not buy the first car i saw and then.... bought the first car i saw
it is a minter though and still spot on 6k later

 

Can't seem to find specs anywhere for them. Does the STI RA (1996) have redtop engine? Stereo? What brakes?

 

ive bought both my scoobs from people from here

 

Hi Baz - Just in case you were still interested in that Black STI thought you'd like to know there should be quite a bit of room for bartering as it was one I got outbid on in the last few seconds on ebay in December:
