What have I done!!! - EDIT Cheshire Performance Cars Limited - READ
So I was getting sick of the Peugeot 308 1.6. Missed the playfulness of my older Fiesta ST and wanted something a bit special.
Just paid a deposit on a 2005 WRX STI with PPP in Aspen White
Pick her up tomorrow. In the meantime I'll be making myself more familiar with this forum I guess!
Can't wait - it's toatally standard apart from the PPP. Just need some new tyres in the near future and some new brake pads sooner rather than later.
So, have a done an awful thing that I'll regret?! Hope not!!!

Good boy! Welcome aboard.
White STi's are pretty rare, and PPP is a nice touch. Keep it nice and clean.
For tyres try Camskill.co.uk they offer decent prices and quick delivery. Bridgestone Potenza RE070 for me....if you have the standard 17" STi wheels of course.
Enjoy and don't molest it too much!

Welcome to ScoobNet mate,plenty of good advice on the site and loads of info found using the search function 
2005 STI in white sounds like a good choice. Is it from a dealer? There are plenty of good traders about but equally plenty of bad ones too.
Be nice to see some pics of the car when you can mate. All I will say is ENJOY! They're a great car in every way

I'm not one for modifying anyway. I'm not particularly mechanically minded to be honest
It's had 1 owner from new, FSH and goes like stink compared to the 308.... Body work is immaculate.

Ah ****, didn't know about their reputation...
Hopefully the car is a good 'un and their services will no longer be required after I pick it up....

get an independant inspection done prior to buying.
if you buy without this and hope for the best you are an idiot given the information and links supplied above showing their terrible reputation in the subaru community.

This. They have recently been taken to court and lost, so they obviously don't look after their customers. I'm sure he will be along soon to threaten me with legal action if I don't retract my statement. That's the companies usual trick.
Honestly mate, if you can, walk away!

Righty then, I'll be on the phone to them first thing tomorrow. I'm not gonna drive it away until it's had an proper independent report and I'm happy.

it should flag up major issues but id get a decent independent that knows impreza's
but given the money you are spending and the info you have about the seller what if the car is fine and develops a legitemate fault down the line.
would you trust them to sort it out???
