Hey,

This is my first post and im loking for advice already!

At the momement im looking at a T plate STI Version 5 type R with 43k on the clock....The price is £14k, and if i go for it subaru are gona stick a new gear box in her for me. The car will also come with a years subaru proven warrenty.


Does this sound like a good price?
And is there any problems i should be aware of with the Version 5 type R?

Any advice would be greatly appreaciated!

Thanks

you can buy a P1 for that mate. Theres a really nice one on here for sale

i personally think 14k is too steep.

Shop around a little, prices have dropped big time.

I didn't think Subaru dealers sold imports, let alone stick an official Subaru warrenty on it?

BTW, they're asking way too much!

nino

Yeah its a dealers in Glasgow, import type r version5 and they seem willing to give me years proven subaru warrenty (not covering the exhaust thats on it right enuff)

What should i be paying?

hi m8 thats a bit steep, but ive a nice black y plate v6 with 45000miles just spent 4k on a major rebuilt so the engine is brand new and i wont 11500 ono if you wont saome more info and piccys pm me with your e mail.
and this does come with a scooby dealer 1 years warrenty.

speedystu

just read that again and that sound realy strange to me, cos if subaru are selling this car they are selling it ilegaly cos a main dealer cant sell imports and they are selling it knowing its got a wanked gear box.

come on, lets just stick to giving him an insight into the prices before introducing our cars to him.

But Nino, ill give u an example. Someone off here once sold a mint T reg type R. Absolutely stunning, not even a scratch on the car which i actually seen. It sold for 10k so you can see where some of us are coming from. Regarding speedys Version 6 since hes mentioned it, do have a look at it.

nino

Laffin,

Ive driven the car it went well, the only problem that i was told (Like dealers always tell the truth!) was that the gearbox made a noise when you put it in fifth, which it did...

...Its deffinatly an import

speedystu

sorry, well thats the syncro gone on the box cost about 7/900 dollor and for that you might as well get a six speed box for about 1500. lol
p.s cheers kilo 4que please do have a look goto for sale and you will see her

kilo_4que

Synchros are a MF, u can get the gear box reconditioned but would cost just as much to get a seperate reconned gearbox.

Btw speedy, i have just seen ure car in for sale section and have to admit, its absolute lush. Versy hard to find a black Type R especially that late in reg.

I have a sti version 5 Wagon in black. Dont wana let go of her as i just love it to bits.

nino

Subaru are gona fix the gearbox for nothing before they sell it,

How could i tell if its a Version 5 V-Ltd as aposed to a version 5? If there is such a thing!

And whats the difference?

kilo_4que

Never had a type r matey, but i think they are the same but dont quote me although i have seen certain type rs with roof vents.

Also, if you can get hold of a Version 6 for 3 grand cheaper, I think ure saving ure self 3 grand and ending up with a newer more better looking car (as it is black) rather than spending like 4 grand extra just for a gearbox, metaphorically speaking.

I guess u need to shop around matey, u are getting ripped at that price
