Ive been offered a dec 03 sti black for £15,850, i think its a great price am i right ??

Also just how juicy are these cars ? I know what you are thinking, if you want an economical car buy a diesel but what worries me is ive been told that they will only do 150 miles to £40 of juice...?!?!?! This is either bullsh*t or the car is constantly being ragged ??!?!

Please advise me on your experiences as I have only test driven 1 scobby and would like to hear from existing owners.

Cheers

do a search on mpg, there's loads of threads. I fill mine with about £45 usually, and get about 210 miles (plus or minus 20)

if you're worried about mpg - don't buy an sti....

I've seen between 22 and 27mpg out of my STI, which is towards the good end of normal.

dude1974

fair point, but doesn't really answer my Q ...?

dude1974

that doesn't seem that bad, i run a honda s2000 at the moment and on a good day 30mpg but when ragged down to 20.....

i love the car but spending 200+ monthly does'nt really appeal....

Best I ever got (out of my old Turbo 2000 - slightly less thirsty than the STI) was 33mpg, and that was during the Sept 2000 fuel crisis.

Normally you might expect 25-28 for a steady cruise, dropping below 20 for a B-road blast. It's normally worth it though I've been running a scooby 5 years now and its thirst just doesn't bother me. If it ever does, I just drive something else and it reminds me what I'm getting for the extra - besides Shell PlusPoints

mid 20's on average - down to a tank on an evening session at donnington!

it bothers me immensley at certain times of the month, the rest of the time I'm smiling far too much.

anyway, this has been done to death, do a search and stop posting crap on this thread

dude1974

well not as bad as i was told , 40 quid = 150 miles !

anyway in terms of price STI 8 dec 03 for £15850 is that about right, what about residuals are they OK ??

GrollySTI

The fact that you are buying a 14 month old car for probably £10k less than the previous owner bought it for tells you everything about residuals!!!

dude1974

nothing its straight , the owner has been offered a crap price as a px and will take anything over that !!

i am very tempted........

Whats the mileage?

I've just been given more than that p/x on my 03 against an 05

dude1974

its approx 14k, 2 owners, black with gold alloys, VGC T & T etc

its either a scobby or elise.........

elise prices very strong at moment, this is a genuine bargain i think..?

BAH

Far to cheep......i was offered more by a dealer for mine cash and thats saying something.....

Elmer Fudpucker

Jeez,my car has done nearly 30k

sounds a right bargain

just my opinion,but I'd rather walk with a limp than drive a Lotus

dude1974

LOL, both cars have their pro's and con's, im lookin at the 111s which is a quick car or the sti .

I just want maximum fun whichever one i buy...........!!

simonhk

15,850 for a sti8 sounds about rite but if u wanna more hardcore performance u can get a jdm sti type r and save a couple of grand.
enjoy!

I got £16,000 cash from a Subaru dealer for my May 03 STI 18,000 miles. That ain`t a bad cash price at all.

Forest what did miitsi offer you? IYDMA

My Feb 03 STI was p/ex'd in for 15k

on the forecourt for 19k now... so 16k is well cheap for a Dec 03 STI...

(£42 used to get me 220 miles)
