have you tried sticking up for sale on pistonheads fella? you can also show that you'd like an st220. plus it's free to advertise where autotrader is going to cost you.

That is what I thought with mine but unless you pay for a premium ad it will be put after them and the trade adverts, I found mine on page 12!! I then paid for the premium ad (only £7 or £8) and it went on to page 1 :-)

I would say you will have more luck on Pistonheads as mine was on Autotrader for about 3 weeks and no calls, once it was on Pistonheads I had about 15-20 calls in 3 days and they all said they saw it on there not Autotrader!

I also looked at the ST220 before getting the ST170 and the thing that put me off was the road tax going up to £455 in a few years

think if you're a member of pistonheads you get the ad for free and it's a premium ad

Righto all, anyone want to make an offer on the car?

Highest i have been offered so far by any dealer is £3500 to which you can all guess what my answer was!

Looking for a little more than that, so fire away with your offers, who knows, you might own it by the weekend.

59,000 miles with 6 months M.O.T. and a deep scratch on front bumper.

Everything else is good condition.

Might just do the same, park it up and then get the ST220 for my daily commute.

Would be a shame to get rid of scoob, its a fun car to drive, and beats the boy racers off the lights with ease in their silly fiesta's!

oh well, now i know what it is worth as a trade in,(plus add on £500 for a trade in with them) maybe add a little more on so i recon £4995 is a reasonable price to ask.

Never believe the scoob is the fastest thing on the road, plenty of sleepers out there that can embarass an Impreza.


I got ripped up by a J reg CRX a couple of years ago and I had a 350bhp STi

Gotta love a sleeper

Is an ST220 any cheaper than a WRX as a daily commuter?

Fuel and emissions look very similar.

ST220 = Average 27mpg.
