Default Bargain STi Spec C

Is this for real?

There's a 2005 White Sti Spec C on Autotrader going for £8.5k

Do a search. Subaru Impreza/ Sti/ white/ 5 years!


If so, that is a helluva bargain!! Why didn't I wait??!

I'd hazard a guess that it's a typo and should be £18,375.

Its got to be a typo in the price, but why stay clear and miss a bargain even if it is a Cat D lets say....?

A cat d needs an engineers report if its had collision damage or been involved in a smash, if its got history and receipts and the work has been done to high standard, plus if it drives ok and everything looks ok, why not IMO.

A car won't get an engineers report if its had chassis damge or not fit for use....JMO like.

Whats dodgy though I AGREE, is that its not stated on the advert....anyone got a spare HPI check?

Its been in a heavy accident, enough to push the engine a few inches or so into the bulkhead, trash the transmission and bend the car basically. Repaired (with lots of UK parts I may add), put back on the road and is now doing the rounds on Autotrader, eBay you name it. AVOID.
