ok. i am looking at buying my first scooby and i have come across a
prodrive sti ( 95 ) import. the car needs to be regestered in the country yet so this gives me a couple of weeks to make sure it`s right..... ok the car has only done 25.000 klm which is i think about 15.000 miles which is backed up with a full service history, it`s in white and the car is totally immaculate in every way, the guy whos selling want £ 9500 for it,, so is it the right sort of money ??all answers would be very helpfull.....thanks

salsa-king

half that! imho

also theres no such car as a PRODRIVE STI on an Jap Import.

Prodrive STi (Uk) were only from Sti7's on.

Thats very dear for a 1995 car!!! Have a look in the for sale section for some bargains......

ok if there is no such thing can you explain why I got my car from Japan with a Prodrive stamp (not sticker) on it

salsa-king

where are you looking?

Adam555

Just above the word looking and along a bit

but is it dear for one with so low milage and in such outstanding condition ?..... and it does have prodrive stamped under the bonnet

salsa-king

all i can see is a PRODRIVE sticker (that i could get for you )

a Tuned bySTi plate.
can't see any that say Prodrive on it.



STi are the tuning company in Japan that Tune the cars.
Prodrive are the equivilant for our UK cars over here.
Plus they do the Rally cars as well

It isn't a sticker - its a stamp - its indented into the metal

I know who Prodrive are but so far no-one I have asked can explain what the hell that stamp is doing there

cut and shunt?????? lol

Might have been a part used off a UK car thats had Prodrive stuff on it.



Dodgy7
whos selling the car.. where?

Adam555

Impossable as the 'part' its tamped onto is the chassis - you can see the plate next to it in Jap

salsa-king

what car is it? MY?

do you have folding wing mirrors... rear wiper blade etc?

Adam555

its 96

yes and yes

salsa-king

it`s a dealer in the manchester area..... tells me the car has only just come into the country..... i`m not well up on scoobys yet thats why i`m asking here for help

salsa-king

straight from Japan?
Didn't think they could keep cars as old as that overthere?


anyway... sounds too hi a price to pay anyway.

9year old car!!

£3K over the top

look at this site on the for sale pages, or, go to the town end garage site, they sell imports and for a lot less than that.

Sorry dont know the actual address or how to put a clicky thing on.

good luck.

Adam555

Rahter than hijack his thread - I have started a new one - not tampered but the car has been heavliy modded - I'll list on the new thread

If the mileage is genuine and the car was absolutely mint, then the price could perhaps be justified....

However, its a big "If".

15k?

MART X

To much imho, £9k alot of money to have "ifs & buts" hanging over it.

"If in doubt leave it out" as my dad says!

Is that a white sti v 2 btw? as i would have seen that yesterday (15k miles, pretty damn immaculate with lots of history, even though its in japanese )

Have you tried contacting Prodrive? As the others have said, it's unlikely to be genuine, but there's only one way to find out for certain.

Dodgy - as the others have said, £9.5K is an exceptionally high price for a car of that age. You'd need to be absolutely certain the mileage is genuine, and that it's as immaculate under the skin as it is on the surface to even think about risking it.
