STI bug for £5000
 
So do these even exsist?

Might be in the market for one soon. Most seem to be getting broken for parts. Even on PH and AT there are only select few and the cheaper ones look ropey at best.

Most of the good Sti Bugs have forged motors and various other upgrades, and sadly are usually worth a lot more in parts than as a complete car.

^^ As above. You can pick a Blob up for £6000 so in theory there should be loads of Bugs around the £4500 - 5000 mark but they are worth more in parts.

There are next to nothing for bug sti, looking at quite a rare car it seems.

As said, most are being broken for parts. The trouble I have had with my previous Bugeye's is that you actually throw a lot of cash into one, say £3k to get a good 400bhp, and then when time comes to sell its never going to get you £7-8k you want, but its worth almost that in bits.

I had mine up for sale a year or so ago, and not a sniff as it was over priced. I broke it, and got almost 5k for the engine, box, clutch, turbo, induction, exhaust and other power supporting parts, then a further 2k+ for the rest of parts which I then broke even on what the car owed me.

There has been some very (VERY) nice example on here for around that money recently, and well sorted too.
