Where are all the 2005 sti's hiding?

I was on autotrader lastnight max price £8k and loads of hawk eyes but no blobs...

~Well hardly any.

 

not a sti but got a 55 plate wrx ppp going cheap with low miles 40k

 

I was looking for an 05 sti for around 4 monthsand just couldnt find a decent one , because of that i settled on a low mileage (40k) 2003 sti instead , doesnt seem too many 05 sti"s for sale and when a decent one come up people want top money

 

Nope has to be Sti.... not anting anything else.. could consider a W1.

Might not even get one yet... just it's my 30th soon and I think the wife let something slip

So I'm looking early.

 

the wife , maybe its a joint present from her and faye?

 

I held out for around 3 months looking around before i got mine. looked all over and ended up getting mine from local scooby garage to me. complete luck and chance. Not many around from my experience. Well worth the wait.

 

I picked up a crystal grey one two weeks ago, 37k full history, ppp, ppf7's, very good car I paid £8100.
You are right though very few low mileage good 05's about.

 

I just fell across mine, was the exactly what i wanted but they're not easy to come by really. Just have to bide your time.

 

Seen a 06 blob sti tonight in shell which i thought was weird

 

black 05 widetrack parked at mine 33k on the clock

got lucky it came up and i didnt hesitate to buy it

good luck finding something similar

 

This one looks nice, I am sure it could be had for less than £8900.

What about this from a member on scottishscoobies
http://www.scottishscoobies.net/show...-PPP-widetrack

 

theres a 54 plate by me with 28500 miles on the clock 5 or 6 main dealer stamps in service history ,3 prev owners mint about 8k .

 

Just hold out, I was after a jdm widetrack and after about six months one turned up you just need to keep looking

 

I assume his looking for my2005 in particular. Wide track, dccd, sti. And it's a blob not hawk as the tax bracket changes in 2006 and before 2005 they weren't wide track.

 

tis wide track with dccd and ppp could be a 05 car but is on a 54 reg

 

Best things come to those who are pacient and wait.
Youll find one im damm sure.
Also post in wanted section also, pistonheads etc

 

Wide track blobs were actually made available to purchase in the latter part of 2004 and were on a '54' reg plate.

I know, cos I've got one!

Can I be extreamly fussy and say I want blue.. Lol than,s for the links though... Image how disappointed I'll be on my birthday when she says... Here's yur present and it's slippers!

 

It's the car everybody is looking for. I had a simalar requirement although i was entertaining the WR1's. I was talking to a trader about one. In my opinion I got messed around about. Was annoyed and looked on pistonheads on my way home and spotted one that had been on there for a couple of hours. I Immiediatly phoned and went to see it. While on the test drive somebody phoned to make their offer. I paid the asking price, higher than the usual prices. It is in good nik and had a few mods I liked. When I collected it he said he had a few calls including one from Germany saying he was going to come and collect it. It appears they are wanted in Europe as well.

 

9 out of 10 people who buy a car with DCcd never touch the bloody button anyway due to either Fear of pranging it or because they don't understand how to use it or get the chance to PROPERLY

 

Im in the same boat, looking for a 2005 STi with DCCD and PPP with lowish miles, perferably in blue.

This one ticks all the right boxes but the price is far too high..

I picked up 2005 wide arch sti with 27k on clock in feb took 5monyths to find a good one tho. There not many out there and there's less good ones. Good person to speak to is Sam at sjperformance in coventry he will find you a good one

 

The last of the blobs with widetrack, dccd are defo hard to find. I've had mine for 2 yrs and at the time of looking there werent many around then either. I guess with most cars there are plus and minuses and personal preference

RobsyUK - I could be tempted to sell mines, but its black with gold alloys -04/05 facelift model

 

I wanted blue one aswel and picked mine up as standarded aswell which even harder to find.. Was very lucky soon as saw it put deposit down straight away without even going to look at the car. Was only on sale a day the dealer said and had 12viewing for the day I picked it up so glad I put deposit down on it.. It's fun in the wet with the dccd

 

Another robsy fantasy thread.......

 

I bought my 06 Blob STI at Christmas, presume not too many knocking around. Downside- High Tax Bracket = Ouch

 

I think sales were low because the hatch was coming and the run out saloons were being sold as special editions like the Spec D. Therefore few on the second hand market.

 

No. The hawkeye was the next model,2 more years until the hatch. Its a buyers market and there are a few around.
I know someone who is selling a 55 plate one and cant shift it.
