picking new car help
 

hi i have my car up for sale someone is picking it up on friday and im after a sti what will £6500 buy me and is there anything i should look out for cheers

shud get you a nice <60k mileage 53/04 sti. 05 wide track if your lucky/willing to travel.

willing to travel anywhere for a good one

"willing to travel" as in ...selecting your search result to within 200 miles for example so you get more of a selection/more likely to find something for a better price.

Would travel even 300 miles for a good one cheers

Not far off 03 jdm money. :)

but are the jdm not more to insure and whats the difference with uk/jdm cheers

They are worlds apart!!!! Do a search there is days worth of reading on this forum on the subject!

i pay 900 a year to insure it im 26 with 6 years no claims

thats cheap who do you insure with

Nice wheels.

There is loads to read but before you make up your mind go and drive both. All anyone on here can say is which one they prefer. that said it's JDM all the way. shop around insurance wise, different companies are better for different ages/postcodes/mods etc

cheers guys does anyone have a insurance site for jdm cars

keith michaels m8 ring and get good quote:thumb:

I'm with competition car insurance through swinton specialist. They gave me an excellent quote.

You can buy my STI and still have cash left over;)

Wouldnt mind one as clean looking as yours

You'll be able to get lower mileage, possibly cleaner, uk car for your budget. Jdm command a premium but worth shopping around. Looking at these cars above it seems that mine needs a heavy going over.

Thanks for the offer but after a blobeye

have seen a couple of cars im interested in they have between 70000-80000miles on them on 03/53 plated is high miles anything to worry about cheers

Be patient fella. I managed to pick up a MY05 STI with 78K miles on the clock, in mint condition for £6700. The 2005 model is a much better can then the 2004 version. It has; wider rear track, DCCD, longer wheelbase, improved geometry setup, revised suspension and a refreshed interior. Personally, I consider this model to be the best of the Newage.

Nice car i take it the milage isnt really a problem if its nearly 80000 miles cheers

I wouldn't think the mileage will be a problem if the service history is good and the car looks like it's been looked after, but the lower the better really.

What monkfish said, makesure it's got a good service history, cam belt done at 60k and such like.

There are people who are very pedantic about their cars. You'll know once you meet them and start talking about the car. With high performance cars, I think it's imperative that you buy from caring owners.

My car, according to the service book, should have had 6 services when I bought it in April this year. It actually had 13 services, all logged in the service book. The last owner only did 8,000 miles in the 4 years he owned the car. Just a weekend car for him it was.

Trust me and take your time to find a really well looked after example.

Ok thanks for all the info guys
