Hi Guys.

I do not know why i did not put this advert here on Scoobynet before

To sell is My STI

Some informations :

It's 2004/05 54/plate
First reg was in Jan 2005.
Tax - 10/2012,MOT - 1/2013.
This is 2005 model with DCCD.
At the moment there are 85k miles on the clock.

I bought that car in May 2008 (62k miles)
Before it,went to Roger Clark Motorsport to checkt it completely out.Olly's opinion about it was really good,no damages in the past and so on.I bought it.
I always well looked after that car,always bought good quality replacement parts,liquids etc like (Ferodo DS 2500 pads,Motul liquids and so on).
Engine oil (Motul 300V Competition 15W-50 or Fuchs Titan Race Pro-s 10W-50)changed every 4-5k miles.
Since 62k did not serviced that car at Subaru Specialist but in 2009 and 2010 went to RCM to make a check(In 2010 was it just a qucik computer check,i mean..plug in...software showed no errors etc...plug out.)
I would say that technically is the car in good condition.Is not in a perfect but for this price,it's in a very good one.

Bad points:

- some scratches,
- https://www.scoobynet.com/drivetrain...-sti-my05.html

2 days ago i took off this car an almost new rims with Bridgestone RE070 and Tein Monoflex with EDFC.Both to sell at the right place.
At the moment,ori rims(not the best) and new winter tyres are on it.

Have all bills(service bills etc from new!!! )A lot of paper documents.

I'm selling my car because i'll go away soon.And it's not an excuse..I really go...

Sorry...have no more good pictures at the moment,but if someone of you would like to see some more,i will do them tomorrow.
Cheers.

Car is located in Oxfordshire(Didcot).

 

£5000 ?

 

Something wrong...??

 

Nothing mate, seemed bit of a bargain... glwts

 

Thanks.

Exactly mate.
Yes,it is a bargain and my heart hurts,but so is this life sometimes....
Regards.

 

Type UK or JDM?
And how is the service history? Any mods (except the Exedy Clutch)?

Few more Pics from the engine bay, rear and other side would be great

GLWTS

 

- Type UK
- "Standard" 1st stage with 320HP and 425Nm.

I will do some pictures tomorrow.

 

How much for just the RE070s? Tyres only.

 

Some new pictures from today.

Would like to show you what scratches are on it and how looks my car at the moment.










Scratches :

Driver side....


Bumper....


Passenger door...



To be honest guys.
Can not believe that i still own this car.
Maybe it sounds stupid,but had an offer for 5300£ Said twice NO....and... unfortunately my mobile has broken and i lost number of this person and many many more numbers,informations and etc And....it's already funny for me
A trader is offering me 4600...I said already many times NO!!!But.....

Ok,if no one from you dose not want it for 5k,then i will sell it to a trader and in a few weeks someone from "us" will buy it for about 6K...I'm pretty sure.

Regards.

 

Would have said your torque figure is out somehow. Not possible to get that torque level from a 2.0L with only 320bhp. Closer with a 2.5 running over 350bhp maybe, but not a 2.0 at 320bhp.

Lovely car though, good luck with the sale!

 

425 Nm = 313 lb/ft

Sounds about right to me

 

I cant believe you haven't sold it either, how bad is the performance car market!

 

DOH. Quite true, well spotted. Having a thick moment!

How has this not sold????

 

Absolute bargain. Good luck with the sale.

 

Hi, is the gearbox, engagement issue still there ?. Or did you get to the bottom of it in the end ? Cheers

 

No idea mate
Just one person view it 2 weeks ago.I would not offened anyone but i think that he was a time waster

Cheers

I'm in 99% sure that first person from scoobynet who comes to view my scooby will buy it!!!I'm really in 99% confident about it.But till now many people just asking and asking.Let's see
I won't say who but someone made me an offer for £3500 yesterday ...What can i say about offers like this ... Just the engine and the gearbox with DCCD is worth so much.And where the rest...

Yes mate..the clutch problem still exist,but believe me..it's not so bad!!
Regards.

 

Can you elaborate a bit further on the extent of the problem i.e selecting gears when cold? Is it stiff and does it engage? Any whines or crunching through the gears?

The car sounds a good buy at 5k and no doubt it may well be, but when you consider the issue with the gear box And have had no definative answer to the problem you dont know where the problem lies, so if it was someone like myself who bought it then i would have to get the issue looked at which may result in the box coming off and even being stripped down......... Final bill could well see over 1k if parts need replacing and with labour, factor that cost in to the 5k and ur soon up over 6k......... Car is not so cheap anymore, i dont mean to cause any offence so please dont take it that way Car is still a good buy at that price but there are others out there for that money with no problems and you wouldn have to book it straight in to a garage to be looked at and you never know what your gonna find when you get in to it

I would say the price the trader has offered is what i would want to pay with underlying issues unless they were fully resolved, like i said no offence intended just some food for thought

 

Totally agree mate, its a nice car, but what were after is brutal honest from member to member. I bought an evo 6 on MLR last year, great guy, great car.... until he forgot to mention the AYC pump had failed and he didnt say a thing until he used the 'Sold as Seen' trick.

Shame on me, but none the less, made me somewhat more wiser before parting with cold cash again!

 

No worries mate.
I write what i mean and you write what you mean.That's it.


If engine is cold,you feel resistance on the ****.But, just at the first move.You get the gear in...works fine.If you take your foot off the clutch,it's back.Then...
The car gets warmer/hotter then the resistance is getting lighter and if the car is hot enough,you just even do not feel it anymore.
Before i exchange the clutch,tehre was no issue...So i would say...Someone take it off now..put again in..and it will work fine.For me... 51%...
Or maybe the brand new plate was faulty..?Who knows...
What should i do to the garage who has done it for me??They said to me, they won't do it again...What should i do..?It's a probably a good garage and i think that some people from here know them.But whatever....

There is no problem to drive the car...If it would be a problem i would get it repaired.
There is also no crunching,no whine etc....
If you are interested,just come over to see the car,drive it and then you will see...
Be honestly to me now please.Are you interested or you would like "just" to write what you think...?

I wouldn't be so 100% sure that the other cars are without any problems The best example is the EVO 6 above, and many more....
It's not an offence as well.I just mean that almost on every car you can find something.
I could make a nice drive with the buyer..then let him drive when the car is hot enough and he would not even know that there is an issue...
But.... i'm a honest guy and i just honestly wrote about it...
Some people told me in the past..Do NOT talk about it while you selling your scooby...
I couldn't do that,and now i will see talks like this...1000 pounds for this and this...

No worries guys.No one needs to buy it,but I tell you once again...
In a few weeks that car will be sold for much more then the 5k....
That's what i mean because i know the car better then anyone else etc.
It's all what i have to tell you.I won't write anything more to this subject here....
Regards to all of you.

 

can't delete it

 

If the car was fine before the garage touched it then rhe omen should lye with them, there for i would be asking the garage again politely to investigate the issue further. It could turn out to be a dodgy clutch plate but listening to how it gets slightly easier when warm im not so sure.

I really hope you did not take offence to the previous post as it was not intended to cause any, i totally agree with you on the fact that other cars are not without their problems all im stating is that with such a job as a gearbox issue especially on one of these the repair costs arnt a straight forward cheap repair, and especially if you where to use a well known few names throught the scooby scene.

I agree the car is a lovely looking machine, i dont want to take anything away from that fact, and im sure alot of people will appreciate the fact that you have been open and honest as if i was to come and view it NOT knowing the full facts and i could feel the problem on the box then i would not be best pleased! And from that point on would immediately be put of any deal that we may have reached as i would be wondering what else you were trying to hide, but at the same time you must see it from the buyers perspective as the cost of the repair as mentioned before will soon drive the initial bargain Price up taking the fact away that it WAS a cheap buy and would take the shine away of the car for me as i could have bought another and not had the issues, do you see where im coming from........

Yes we are interested in the car but knowing how much a repair may cost it wont be that cheap hence why i think the traders price is a fair price, if it was me i would be back at the garage, just be prepared that if they do investigate it and turns out to be the clutch at fault and not the workmanship then you will be held liable for the repair costs ehich you can try and claim back from the clutch manufacturer.

As said all along please do not be offended it is not intended, just wanted to help you see why it may not be selling as quickly as you may have thought it would go

 

if it looks too good to be true it usually is....
always good to do a bit of detective work ;-)

 

SOLD

If it looks too good to be true it needs to be sold beacuse of leaving UK.....

Good luck by buying this car for much more in a few days/weeks!!!

SOLD

 

"Infected by sti"
i will find out if it gets expensive or not

Bought the car in germany from a reseller. Sadly it went very expensive, compared to the 5k price tag here

 

Best of luck with it bud, could be someone has put the wrong box oil in it, how much more of a price difference was it to the 5k offerd on here? Obviously importing plays a big part in the cost but I'm just curious

 

9700 gbp
or around 12.000 Euro

 

**** me! I take it you bought from a stealership of some sorts, so it should have a warranty yes

If so go through the car with a fine tooth comb and list anything that you can find especially checking on the gearbox issue stated above, that's if it's not been sorted already, and make sure they put any probs right seeing as you have paid that much more for the car would be my advice

 

Sorry, you what.....am I reading that correctly, the car was resold in Germany for nearly £10,000?????????

 

Yes and no.
The car has not been sold directly to germany.

A trader was inbetween. We/i dont know, what price he demanded for the car. So it could be possible that the car has been sold for 5k to the trader, and he sold it for 8k to a german trader.

 

Same as my old Sti, a trader came over and bought it from me and the sold it on at a 5k profit!
