Hi all, maybe about to buy an 05 Wrx Sti type UK widetrack,DCCD with 61,000miles
Its Ok condition, few rusty bits on it here and there. Just had timing done.
The guy is asking £9K surely thats a bit too much? Ive been told its for too much but what would you recon?

Thanks

 

Depends how bad the rust is and service history

 

About the correct price if its good condition, milage is low too.
If its only small amount of rust id hagle a bit off.

 

Where are you buying it from incase anyone local knows the car and can give info on it

 

Small rust spots along rear roof, front wheel arches on inside, and where spoiler mounts on to. Deep 5inch scratch on rear wing.
Also has prodrive alloys needing refurbed. Crack and splits on front bumper.
EML is on "Because of decat"?.
Has non factory alarm fitted

 

Its in Orkney, Blue, FP05 PFN. Only says its a wrx on docs but has all the 6 speed box and all the rest certainly has plenty go too.

 

Has it been remapped for decat

 

Seems a bit strong money for these issues

 

Probably an EU import with it saying only Wrx on logbook and aftermarket alarm...
Wants to be £7500-£8k max imo

 

No hasnt been remapped, he did mention i should get it remapped tho.

 

Having just bought a tidy 05 widetrack, I'd say the same.

Sounds like it's been neglected a bit if it's already started rusting. Haggle some off for repairs... 7.5k tbh. But then, I'd rather buy a clean early STi than a widetrack with rust for that money.

 

Well i need to let him know by tonight ive got him down to 8250 bit still too much i think

 

If your having doubts then sounds like its not the car for you, plenty more out there.

 

I'd avoid it personally sounds abused and unmapped mods are for the Facebook idiot generation.
Unmapped decat will cause over boosting which in turn creates running Lean and engine damage.

 

walk away far too strong money for a car with so many bits that need tidying
