Default It's been a while back on the hunt,need your help

Well after 6 years a 335d , e46 m3 , and e60 m5 I finally looking at getting back in a Subaru.

I have found a white blob sti 05 widetrack the car has 1 prev owner and 27000 miles. The car is up for 11,500 so here are a couple of questions for you kind folk to help me out with?

Is this a fair price for a genuine low miles whith sti uk ppp.
What am I looking out for when I view the car, looking to buy tomorrow,

Looking forward to hearing that burble again it's been to long
Thanks lee

Get a HPI but also check that every panel is straigh. Check for any over spray in the door shuts etc. Their are endless buyers guides on here.
Oh one other thing. Don't buy it in the rain!

Thanks for your reply, I also thought about it raining today but i think the car is indoors.

I did not think to look on here for a buyers guide

Check out the sticky thread about 2.5 engine failures.

The price is quite a bit but you don't find ones with that sort of mileage.

Personally with that sort of cash i'd be going for a JDM myself

Hi there i agree with Markfey you could pick yourself up a nice JDM with that sort of dosh I went JDM after my 1st scoob and love it also loved my old scoob though . You wouldnt need to really read up on the 2.5 engine failures though because that would be a 2.0 I belive. But then you dont come across a nice blob with nice low miles like that often do you! I suppose its what your willing to pay, if you really like the car and prepared to part with that sort of cash then do it!! sure you wouldnt regret it!

Good luck mate greg.
