Default Hi there guys, Newbie here after some advice

Hi there as the title says, I'm new to the site and am after some advice please.

I'm currently considering changing my car at the moment, from a VW Golf GTTDi (130 chipped to 150) for an STi Type UK, an '05 model as I don't like the looks of the '06 or the price tag.

The reason for doing this is due to quite a bad motorbike crash back in October, when I wrote my 3 week old GSXR 1000 off in a head on with a car after skidding on diesel. I've being off work since then and have ahd a lot of time to think about things, however, the only reason for getting a scooby is if I'm unable to ride again due to the nature of my injuries.


So any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated, in terms of what sort of price to pay etc...

Welcome to the site, fairly new to the Scoob myself, had my 05 STi PPP since the end of November. I looked at quite a few dealers websites & found anything from 19.5 - 24k for the 05 model. Didn't see too many private 05's at this time & they were hovering around the 19 - 20k also.

Good luck with the injuries.
