Hi Pete

Nah dude,I had the Sti hatch got shut and bought an 06 Sti but the missus lost her job so been without car since August,now she has got off her lazy arse and returned to work I need a motor

I've been to view 6 cars in the past 10 days and they have all been overpriced tat

pm's replied to guys

Regards marcus

H4RDY-P1 30 December 2013 01:12 PM

Haha, I know what your like with cars, it will take some time for you to find a good clean one mate. The widetrack blob is a far better car than the UK hawk IMO ;))

I spent months looking for the one I have now after seeing a few and had a few failed attempts at purchasing one I sought mine out 2005/55 46k Crystal Gray, so they are out there just don't expect people to part with a good one for nothing, they are out there :)

Be careful when shopping mate,there are some real bad cars out there,however plenty of genuine sellers too

I've seen

Knocking pistons fobbed off as a noisy alt belt

Cat c right off as an hpi clear car at a ford main dealership :eek2:

Described as mint (fag burns and mould)

Full service history,filled in themselves

Complete engine failure at a big car supermarket chain (not mentioning dealer name) diagnosed as noisy bearing

Spare wheel well full of stagnant water

A clapsed shock absorber on a car with 12 months mot !

But I'm just fussy :D

Yes I do believe ther is another white blob STi local to us, and yeh I understand that modded cars are not to everyone's taste :/

Appreciate the over modded bit as I know most look for as standard as possible, but it has got all the top bits on it. I'm not one to scrimp for cheap parts. The car is what it is, no dodgy history, engines runs perfect and is set up to take the power comfortably, which was my main concern. You will find one eventually, there's a lot of poor ones out there I found that out, just annoying when ppl say they are mint and there far from it. I've wasted plenty of hours looking at nails.
Good luck with the search ;) W1 8eans is a minter but he won't part with it lol

Great car and worth every penny with the spec and rereity that goes with it :)

Is like to think mine is a good one yes and as for parting with it at the right time and for the right money everything is worth parting with maybe not just yet though, lol! ;)

ethanrob 30 January 2014 01:54 PM

8-9 grand cash waiting for the right car or May Also consider an Sti hatch for a little more,please be sensible with offers as I'm not paying over and above what these cars should be going for

This is a decent enough budget to get a good one but I do fear that there is not one up to your standard after looking at so many :/ Mine is in 'mint' condition but I did pay top money for it because of it and I'm going to keep it that way so when I do sell I'll not let it go for nothing ;)

Good luck with the search and free bump for ya

"Provisionally" got myself one guys,only viewed around 50 pictures and not seen the car in the flesh as yet...........on it's way north from Bristol at the moment :D

If bought it is a 2006/56 plate blobeye Sti prodrive(not many 56 plates) so "very rare" :rolleyes:

53000 miles full subaru history with no mods at all

Priced at £6999 but open to negotiation :wink: :smug:

Nice ;)

What colour is it btw? I looked at I blue one in "mint condition" and that was on a 56 plate, wasn't that cheap though and with the PPP pack. I very nearly bought it but being a 56 plate fell under the big tax bracket of £500+ A year as opposed to £280 on my 55 plate.

Hope it's as good as it sounds as 7k is cheap for a late widetrack blob :)

JDM_333 31 January 2014 07:04 PM

So is it a Type UK STi? I'd have pursued the white one above but that's just me, looks awesome. Good luck though fella let us know how it goes!

ethanrob 31 January 2014 07:49 PM

Type uk car,never seen one on a 56 plate before only hawkeyes,I'm confused on the tax as the saleswomen tells me it is £280 for 12 months as the car is a 2005 spec motor but obviously registered in sept 2006,2.0 engine ??????

It's silver,not my first choice of colour tbh but at less then 7k I'm willing to flex

£8300 is about right price wise according to the trade books,a mint low mileage 55 plate is booking at £7500-£8000 at a main dealer !

The tax changed in March 2006 so no matter what engine it has in it on a 56 plate it will still be on the higher tax.

There were some 56 plate blobs as 2006 was the crossover year so both were still being sold, a 56 plate blob will have been one of the last made\ sold ;)
