Well the GT4 has gone!!!
 
Sold my GT4 today so i'm officially on the hunt for an STI :)

Was a weird morning got a phone call from a Finnish mobile number this morning asking if I could meet him at Newcastle train station before 3.00 today.

Expecting to be mugged or ripped off I took my brother with me. Turns out these guys are Import Car dealers in Finland, checked out their website and phoned the number and all checks out fine.

Anyway to cut a long story short I got £3650 for the car, in cash (and its real haha) so i'm on the lookout for an STI, hopefully a bit cheaper than that cos I need cash for insurance.

+1.

Nothing worse than getting a wrong 'un. Get a good Subaru, and you'll love it. End up with a bad one and say goodbye to the contents of your wallet.

Yeah cheers Peanuts i'm going to take my time buying one and not just jump in. I took on board what you said yesterday.

dj219957 13 January 2009 03:43 PM

agree, make sure you look at plenty. there are too many dogs about these days with no service history and poor mods ready to go bang.

GT4Baz 13 January 2009 03:54 PM

Well i've seen a few that I want to go and take a look at this weekend. Here they are:

1996 N Reg SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 WRX STI V3 Version 3 on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 19-Jan-09 14:02:25 GMT)

GT4Baz 13 January 2009 09:35 PM

Well i've arranged to pop down to see a member off here's (Keith) 96 STI RA and I quite like the look of it. Sound good?

I said i would not buy the first car i saw and then.... bought the first car i saw

GT4Baz 13 January 2009 09:56 PM

Can't seem to find specs anywhere for them. Does the STI RA (1996) have redtop engine? Stereo? What brakes?

M444GY 13 January 2009 10:37 PM

ive bought both my scoobs from people from here

timmy2take 16 January 2009 04:40 PM

Hi Baz - Just in case you were still interested in that Black STI thought you'd like to know there should be quite a bit of room for bartering as it was one I got outbid on in the last few seconds on ebay in December:
