Is this a good deal on an 05Sti?
 

...best part of £17k for my 03 STi PPP with springs @30k

against a brand spankers 05 with Prodrive springs and £9.5k cash,including 3 years free servicing and tax etc??

anything else I should try and weadle out of them?

Jon:D

'urry up chaps I'm just about to place my order;)

hmmmm,Premium Silver or Mettallic black:D:D

£9.5k for DCCD and a couple of years warranty Jon?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ;)

but I've never owned a brand new car before:(

and I'm ever-so excited:D

did have a new Kawasaki KLR600 once tho........









....in 1985:cuckoo:

But you hate the newage cars.....

Buy a mint, low mileage RB5! ;) :D

but you sold it,ya bugger lol:)

And the buyer wants rid and can't shift it on.......

I did offer you before I got rid...... ;)

Add £2k for PPP and it's £11.5k for DCCD, and there is a new car coming out soon with a possible 2.5l engine.

and everyone is forgetting 2 years of wear and and tear, 3 years of MOT free motoring, brand new tyres etc etc etc.

Probably not a deal I would do myself, but doesn't sound bad.

Never ever buy a brand new car unless you can afford to lose money, Impreza's are one of the worst depreciating cars that I have ever seen.
Once the 2.5 comes out, your 2005 model value will suffer as a consequence.

when does the 2.5 l come out? late this year?

What makes you think the rumoured 2.5 will be any better?

Isn't that what the American market gets already and I don't see them 'raving' about it:confused:

I got offered the same kinda deal to your 9.5k to change to a MY05 Sti.... But I cannot really justify paying so much just for new wheels, interior slightly different (poss better) & DCCD... :cry:
Just think I will keep it for another year & wait for the face lift MY06 STi...

forget the DCCD;)

We're talking first ever brand new car here!!and my 4th Impreza

Its making a 43 year old feel like a 12 year old on Christmas day;)

Jon:D

If you want it mate get it, its your money :) lifes too short

Put that way it makes complete sence :)

Well for a start the US Impreza power is strangled by very strict emmision laws so you cannot really compare any reviews of the US 2.5 compared to the T25.

I think the main advantage of a 2.5 engine is torque, everything else around the car will remain the same, having said that all this is hearsay at the moment as know one knows if it is even being released in the UK yet.

If I were you I would sell your car privately and buy a Euro MY05 STi for another couple of grand instead of the £9.5k that you are thinking of spending.
Think about, NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS is a hell of a lot of money to spend just to have DCCD and bbs alloys.
But it's your money at the end of the day, do what ever makes you happy..

Thanks for your input chaps:D

...now then.

Dipster

'er indoors is 'suggesting' silver(took half-a-dozen red roses to be interested tho)....kiddie cars,she calls them:rolleyes:

and definately Silver over Crystal grey:)

why oh why don't they come in Cool Grey ala RB5??

Midnight grey :)

TAXI for Automodellistagt

You should do whatever you want to do. Why justify it to sn? I think you have made up your mind with both the purchase of the car and colour. Whatever you choose, it'll be nice.

White....

just a bit of fun mate;)

Silver now ordered,thanks again guys:thumb:

Another wifey wins again :)
