A scooby newbie (possibly)
 

hey ...

I could be about to join the scooby world proper .... have £24k burning a hole in my pocket ... am just about to go and test drive the new STI ... should I buy it???

Nic

nah, go away on hols, but out currys and get a classic:thumb:

stuff that, like above said get a classic, spoil yourselve with a great holiday somewhre very hot and spud out on takeaways

If I was to use every penny of 24k on an Impreza, I might get another 22b, UK version of course ;)

Failing that, a nice typeR V limited and bank the 12k+ balance as warranty money :D

oh dear .....
 

Well ... I guess I'm a typical girl ... drove it, loved it, had to have it ... crystal grey .... delivery in 1-2 weeks ... oops! :cool:

Bad luck, they were right, you should buy a good classic and have fun driving it plus have fun with the cash you've got left over.

Should have gone to Litchfields and got a much better and faster car for the money, or Alliance and got the same car for £4k less.

oh well .......
 

I looked at the imports and were cheaper - after adding on the cost of alarm, the tracker and the underseal, but was wary ... kept hearing horror stories about claim limits on warranties etc, many of which I'm sure were propegated by dealers to try and protect their livelihood .... I went into the dealership today with an import deal I had for £22k OTR ... they pretty much matched it (I hammered them on the px value for my car) and so I now get the STI UK spec with the backing of a dealership (call me old-fashioned but I like that) .... oh and they are repainting the (wanky - no offence intended and I'm sure I'll get slaughtered for this!!) gold wheels for me for free ... and I got a free tank of petrol etc etc .... I am a happy bunny (I'm waiting for someone to piss on my fire :rolleyes: ) ...

Good for you, enjoy :thumb:

Sounds like you hammered out a good deal, which seems rare at the mo'. Well done and enjoy :thumb:

PS. I'm with you on the wheels ;)

now all you need is a PPP on it!

Good luck with it, it is nice to hear of someone getting a deal that suits them and also saves them a few quid.

If you were used to something a little more tame then take it easy getting used to it. It isn't like you need special powers to drive it or anything but if you were used to a 140bhp Golf Diesel then get the feel of the STi before trying too hard :-) (I used to have an STi and am now driving the Golf Diesel, have been for a month now and I'm still frightened to overtake anything!)

Enjoy.

well done nickie

just remember to check your tyres regularly ;-)


ps when do i get a go.

oh well ...
 

All your fault Luke ...

The tyres will be monitored ... I promise

... and you know when you get a go, but the same rules apply!

P.S. I think we should steer clear of bridges for a while ... or at least take parachutes next time! ;)

Welcome to the MY06 STI (typeUK) club! :luxhello:

Sounds like you got a better deal than me! :notworthy

I kept the gold wheels, which look good on the WR blue IMHO! :)

Enjoy.... :luvlove:

Hmmm.... got a call from the dealer this morning to say they have one in the UK, just need to get it to the dealership and get the PDI done etc ... maximum 2 weeks ...

... but I want it NOW!!!

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :brickwall

... I have no patience ... :(

... because I am way too excited!! :luxhello:

Many sleepless nights.... ;)

sssshhhhhh dont tell everyone :-)

oops!! ;)

my lips are sealed ..... now!
