Well I have been handed my notice at work, due to cut backs I no longer have a job.I have only recently got my UK STI, I have only had it about 4 weeks and I cannot afford the monthly repayments without an income.I do not know how long it will take me to find another job so I have decided to let the Scooby go.I cannot express just how much I love this car, I have always been a fan of JDM cars, I have had a MR2 back when imports from Japan had just started to become a big thing, and ever since then I have been hooked.

I have had endless WRX’s but never a proper STI, I finally get one with all the toys that I wanted to have fitted, these were already fitted by the previous owner, so I have only had the rear windows tinted and then BANG I have no job. I have stuck the car on eBay and see what response I get.

If any fellow members here are interested I am happy to do a deal, the asking price is high, I know, but people from eBay always knock you down, but if any member from here makes a sensible offer, knowing how much these cars are going for I am willing to come to some sort of deal, really want this car to go to a Scoobynet member and not just a random person of the street.

Can’t explain how gutted I am to lose my car, never thought that something like this would happen. The car is still under finance, but I will sort this out with anyone who is interested in buying the car.

Here is the advert anyway, any questions please feel free to ask.

What work do you do ?

Whizo

I work in I.T mate, as a computer engineer. The work has dried up in the UK, mostly going to cheaper places abroad.

Sorry to hear the bad news, I had the same thing happen to me about 10 years ago, I bought my dream car at the time(Evo 6 RS) and had it for about a month before I got the same news of no job, Unfortunately I panicked and put the car up for sale(sold the next day) but found another job a few days later(still my current job) so I could have kept the car

Probably worth applying for some jobs, and fingers crossed that you get one sooner then the car sells.

Bad news chap but this is one reason why I'd never buy a car on finance.
Hope you manage to find something else quickly.

Feel for you, don't sell to cheaply. You will get through your problems.

Absolutely gutted for you mate!

Depending on your IT skill set maybe contracting would be worth looking into? There are plenty of contracting positions out there, especially in Leeds and surrounding area - have a look on http://www.cwjobs.co.uk. Whilst the positions tend to be on a 3 or 6 month basis, they often pay good rates ... certainly enough to help you keep hold of your beloved STi.

All the best.

Company I work for has a depot in Warrington that is looking for IT Staff if that is any good to you? Not sure where you are based ?

Whizo

Hi mate, I am based in Leeds, so Warrington would be a little too far for me. Thanks anyway for the offer.

Whizo

I just want to say a huge thank you for all the comments of support from the fellow members on here.

I would love to keep my car but the next payment is in 4 weeks time and after working out my figures there is no way I can make that payment, the mortgage and household bills have to come first

So I am on the look out for a very cheap run around for now, something under £1000!

As most of you will know, its not just the monthly payment with an STI it is the running costs. At the moment even if I could afford the monthly payments I could not afford to run it, so what is the point of having the car sat on the drive, might as well see it go to a good home.

Have you thought about going self employed? I know someone that is amazing with fixing computers and electrical items, he packed in his job as he can make aload more working on his own.
