2008 sti still worth 18k?
 
guys is a 2008 plate sti still worth 18k I know its from a dealer but still

http://subaru.r66.co.uk/vehicle.aspx...&vhl=602440040

second thing is, would it be worth the extra money to go for the 330s its just if it came from a dealer with warranty no real tuning could be done so thinking the extra power hike might be worth it along with the value come re-sale time. would the 330s still warrant the extra on a private sale

cheers

330S should warrant the extra.

Well according to the sales rep the engine is fine and never had a rebuild lol, kev you sure this reg is the same as your old one. Just will probably go and see it at the weekend so don't want a wasted journey

£18k will secure a 2010 STi with PPP and still a years warranty to run.
2008 STis for around £14k in abundance and with low mileage.
£18k for any four year old car (non special edition) costing around £26k new doesn't sound right to me.

Norman Dog 03 April 2012 08:24 PM

WTF

Same dealer, thought these were only £29k new! :eek:

It's a limited edition TA340
33k new then has engine upgrade to 340ps, sti spoiler, massive pro r brakes front and rear, suspension upgrade along with bushes and anti roll bars, wheels and the matt grey wrap. The TA stands for time attack as this is the garage that prepares the pro r time attack car and when it won last year they released this as a special. IMO far far far better handling than the cs400.

I bought a one year old 340R for £23k. £17k seems a lot to pay for GT2 wheels, bigger brakes and suspension mods when the car is already more than adequate in these areas. The price is a joke.

kev1 03 April 2012 09:26 PM

40k is for a new one that is the demo one priced as a new car. It had great reviews from pistonheads.

urban 04 April 2012 08:50 AM

Yeah, but its not worth 40K

StanS 04 April 2012 09:06 AM

Its back to the old chestnut that the asking price is different from the selling price. No-one expects to get their asking price - its just an invitation to make an offer.
So there is a lot of late 2008/early 2009 std sti/330S asking 18-22K but would expect the selling price to be £2K less for nice ones (re-done engines).
I wouldn't look at one that had not had a properly rebuilt engine.
