I've seen a few wrx's and sti's for around the £4000 mark at the minute and must admit I'm tempted.

Has anyone on here bought one for around that price where it's been pretty reliable?

 

Yes i bought one for £3500 and other than giving it a service, cambelt ,front discs and pads costing around £500. And doing most the work my self its been spot on and i love it.
Hope this helps
If you want to have a look view my scooby.

 

Paid £2800 for mine..had to put new tyres one but otherwise its been fine.. Radiator hose went but other than that its been trouble free for the 7 months I have had it!
