Honda Accord is code for "giving up on life" unless you mean one of these http://torque-gt.co.uk/car/honda-accord-euro-r/ but even then.

 

Nah man, this is more his thing

 

Well it's an estate as that is what I need and as the WRX wagon is too small I decided to play safe, reliable and relatively cheap rather than go after a Legacy or something and then I can put the cash saved into my other car which is no doubt also considered a code for giving up on life according to the SN massive

That said since when did I give a **** what anyone on SN thinks about me or my cars.... somewhere between never and the dawn of time I guess

 

I did have this in the back of my mind as I was typing but couldn't stop myself.

 

Widetrack blob? Less than 50k miles? Mint bodywork? I sold the exact car you're currently looking for back in November 2012 for a smidgen under five figures. I'd have laughed my head off at an offer of £7.5k and anyone else with a car like that in their possession would do the same thing.

And yes, my current pair of Subarus are absolute knackers that I dived into buying for well over the odds

 

F1 you amuse me, you fall out with everyone, you need to stop hating football fans and guys who enjoy socializing over a few too many beers at the weekend mate.

Location 'lots of different places' , you must always manage to find a wifi connection. I await your "bite"

 

.....................and in the security of your own home, as always.

 

I have to say you haven't really figured on my radar here so far and for that reason alone you will have to forgive me if I pay your opinion of what I 'need' to do absolutely no credence whatsoever.

 

That proves everything, I wouldn't like confrontation with anyone but you are clearly massively used to it

 

Oh now come on old boy, you're not another who can dish it out, but not take it are you? I really thought you were different.... ah well.

 

I do seem to be a magnet for it to be honest, I do wonder what is the matter with everyone

Just kidding before you lay into me

 

Just to satisfy my curiosity, I have had a search on a couple of the mainstream websites. Blobeye STI's with under 40k (of which there are few) are at around 9.5k - 10.5k. And rightly so.

Obviously, we would all like one of these at just £7.5k. Who wouldn't. But why would anyone SELL at this price when looking at similar condition/mileage cars?

Add to this that used cars prices have actually strengthened in the last 6 months - I honestly believe that you will not find one to your liking soon.

This is not a dig/insult/slur, I am just being honest.

You could be searching for a long time. The economy is picking up, less people are out of work than at the start of the recession in 2008, so people are more confident, especially when selling cars.

I know it's not the same car by any means, but I have just sold my wife's 06 Peugeot 107.
Autotrader said £1700 trade, £2450 private. I sold it for £2600 after just 4 days, to the first person that came to see it.

It is becoming a sellers market due to people having more disposable income, confidence or both.

In all honestly, I think you have missed the boat. I am not saying you won't find one to hour liking, but have you actually viewed examples up for £9k? Just to see what condition it is in.

Sorry about the slightly 'moody' posts the other day. Had a crap day at work and no patience for anyone.

 

The op may well have a issue if he wants to but a blob sti for 7.5k as you have demonstrated, thankfully he is NOT just looking for a blob sti, he has said many a time that a blob sti may be perfect but is looking at a veriaty of subaru's/sti.

 

you all seem to be picking cars for me again, ive never said I want a widetrack blob im open at all varients of STi's which ive stated many times now.. and why would I be interested in knowing about a car you sold years ago.. im looking now, ive got £7500, I want 50k miles or lower and in mint condition end of, do you know of one? let me know, if not..do one! you can go on and on with yourself all you want about my budget and wether or not I have a chance of finding one and I don't really care..it is what it is and ill look for another 6 months or longer if I have to.

I agree mate, car prices are on the up and im pushing my luck to find a 'Blob' STi to my specification but im willing to keep looking until I find the right car, Blob or no Blob. like you say times are hard and such a car may become available but then again it may not... but that's the market for you. ive not viewed any car out of my price range as there is no point because I don't have the funds and it would be like taking a child into a sweet shop just to see what the sweets look like.

don't worry about the moody post mate, yours nor any of the others have bothered me..ive not spat my dummy out or disappeared in a mood.. ive replied to all of them and I still stand by what I want and will contine to do so

correct mate, ive done it before and ill bide my time and do it again.. I know these cars show up, if its a Blob then great if its a V4/5 STi great im open to all aslong as it meets what im looking for

Haggle these guys down to £7.5k?

 

ide try but obviously you havnt read the thread before you jumped in feet first..

ill leave you to ponder what im talking about

 

It's quiet refreshing to see someone who isn't rushing in to buy a car.
The spec,condition,low mileage do narrow down you search but so what!
You have already said you have found cars in the past that meet your high standards so there is no doubt you will find one this time even if it does take a while.
Your not spending £7.50 your spending 7.5k of your hard earned.
It took me ages to find a totally rust free classic RA but I found one in the end.
I say 'Good on ya' hold out and be as fussy as you like,this way you WILL find the car you want

 

Would you not consider one of these.

 

Lol at the sti badge.

 

Yeah, I was a bit confused about that.

 

It's not a sti at all with no sti bits either unlike the tuned by sti version or s402.

It's a 2.0 GT spec b twinscroll 280hp, poor 5 speed manual, small brakes etc. just a basic car with a twinscroll engine.

 

its a nice car mate but the whole thread states what im after and you send me that with 66000 miles on it

thanks all the same pal

 

I know what mileage you are after, this was just a example, as I said it was the first one I came across and not a specific example.

 

Twin turbo not twinscoll and what's wrong with the box, I ran one with 360bhp and I used to give it hell but never had any problems.

 

its crap like the 2.5, but if we use your rules, "its great because i own one"

 

spot on moobs

 

Pay attention I have never owned a 2.5, but why is the legacy crap it's not a sti for racing through the wood's and the twin turbo has less heat transfer so better torque than a twinscoll.

 

It's not a twin turbo, it's a twinscroll as stated before. The older ones were twin turbo!

 

he needs to pay attention

 

He must know, he's had one
