Adivce for on Bying an STI for a newbie?
Hey,
This is my first post and im loking for advice already! At the momement im looking at a T plate STI Version 5 type R with 43k on the clock....The price is £14k, and if i go for it subaru are gona stick a new gear box in her for me. The car will also come with a years subaru proven warrenty. Does this sound like a good price? And is there any problems i should be aware of with the Version 5 type R? Any advice would be greatly appreaciated! Thanks:) |
you can buy a P1 for that mate. Theres a really nice one on here for sale
i personally think 14k is too steep. Shop around a little, prices have dropped big time. |
I didn't think Subaru dealers sold imports, let alone stick an official Subaru warrenty on it?
BTW, they're asking way too much! |

hi m8 thats a bit steep, but ive a nice black y plate v6 with 45000miles just spent 4k on a major rebuilt so the engine is brand new and i wont 11500 ono if you wont saome more info and piccys pm me with your e mail.
and this does come with a scooby dealer 1 years warrenty.:) |
just read that again and that sound realy strange to me, cos if subaru are selling this car they are selling it ilegaly cos a main dealer cant sell imports and they are selling it knowing its got a wanked gear box.

Absolutely stunning, not even a scratch on the car which i actually seen. It sold for 10k so you can see where some of us are coming from. Regarding speedys Version 6 since hes mentioned it, do have a look at it. |

Ive driven the car it went well, the only problem that i was told (Like dealers always tell the truth!) was that the gearbox made a noise when you put it in fifth, which it did... ...Its deffinatly an import |
:) sorry, well thats the syncro gone on the box cost about 7/900 dollor and for that you might as well get a six speed box for about 1500. lol
p.s cheers kilo 4que please do have a look:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: goto for sale and you will see her |
Synchros are a MF, u can get the gear box reconditioned but would cost just as much to get a seperate reconned gearbox.
Btw speedy, i have just seen ure car in for sale section and have to admit, its absolute lush. Versy hard to find a black Type R especially that late in reg. I have a sti version 5 Wagon in black. Dont wana let go of her as i just love it to bits. |

Who could i tell if its a Version 5 V-Ltd as aposed to a regular type r v5? And whats the difference?:freak3: Also, if you can get hold of a Version 6 for 3 grand cheaper, I think ure saving ure self 3 grand and ending up with a newer more better looking car (as it is black) rather than spending like 4 grand extra just for a gearbox, metaphorically speaking. I guess u need to shop around matey, u are getting ripped at that price |
