Default S204 Advice

Hi,


I m searching for a good S204 (2006). In your opinion for a s204 in very very good condition with nice interior, without rust underchassis and in 45000miles/70000km range, what could be a right price ? 23000ukp?


thanks

Carlo

Yes I think your in the right area price wise. Heres a very clean example for a little more.

might get lucky in Japanese auctions but they are very rare and command a decent premium over there now. With the price of the yen and transport costs your usually better off finding one landed in Europe already.
These will be the desirable model in the future no doubt. Won't be losing any money that's for sure

Very nice car but without the original suspension and with a boost controller (assuming it has no remap to account for the increased boost) I wouldn't touch it.

The car seems awesome but yes the main problem are the aftermarket suspension and also the strut brace seems not to be original.

The strut brace is a later STi item (flexi one as found in the 20th anniversary).

Yes but it is not the s204 original. Also the dampers are nice hks hypermax iv.

if the engine compression is fine and runs well it could be a good change for a s204. Of course if the price is negotiable

I noticed a very low mileage black S204 in Japan earlier this week, if you are interested I can try and find the details for you.

Maybe a price around 23.000 will be right for that s204.

I flew to Essex to check the S204 in person some days ago . HJA is really a nice place for japanease cars with good guys!

really a nice car. Engine is in health like his stock turbo. Push well on whole rpm. Tried stock 1.2bar and 1.4. A/F ratio in range.

The HKS suspensions setup works really well.

At the end bought that S204. Awesome car. I did a good test to drive the car from Harlow auto to my country. 1400km. Maybe a bit dangerous but all fine. The car push vey well and it is reliable..
