Default UK STi (Blobeye)

Hello all,

i was looking at an impreza yesterday, brand new (04). It was a UK STi, i think with PPP for £21995.

First of all, is this the going price, and secondly, what are the figures for the car?

TIA,

Davie

Pretty good price for an STi. I'm guessing it's got 20k+ on the clock?

What other figures you after?

Alos, if you don't mind me asking, what are the monthly payments on your £25k car, if you do indeed have HP on it?

Not exactly true, you can have a PPP fitted, it just invalidates the warranty, thats all.

well its in their forecourt.

the mention of cyprus and malta worry me. does this mean that subaru won't touch it for servicing etc?

if so, could i achieve the same PPP performance for similar cost by doing the mods myself?

As these cars are from a warm climate, does this mean they will have no underseal etc?
