I test drove the STI with PPP fitted

Got out of my MY97 and test drove the sti8 thinking 'how much better can this be? , surly not £15K better!

20 mins later - sold!

Went back today to get more info as to delivery date this month? - and got asked 'fancy a blast in the Sti7 with PPP' - 'Yes I said'

20 mins later - Sold! (to be fitted when 1000 miles done)

I cannot believe that you could improve the car any more but WOW!

back to the cherished my97 PPP for a couple of weeks that seems sooooo sluggish!

yoza - exactly what my mum said -

Mainland is correct!

Pretty switched on, well looked after, no complaints from buying from them!

Better than intermoto..... (Danny was the only decent guy there) - and he's at mainland anyway!

It's worth every penny for the grin

I was in there on Sunday 12 noon,spoke to a salesman with spikey hair,about the prices standard and with PPP.

He offered me a drive in the blue STI8 parked next to the golf with the massive exhaust,but I knew if I went out in it I would have to have it ,so I declined

Did you see the black STI7 in the rear car park for sale section,it was an STI7 but had an STI8 scoop,fooled me,but then again thats not hard to do.

I pass Mainland every day to go to the lloyd gym,Im contemplating changing my route,far to upsetting passing those STI8s each day

Must mean when you come to part-ex or sell it privately

Anyone ever had, "part-ex sir certainly, i can sell this car in 10 minutes how about 3K above book price" LOL
