Question STi's new for £22,450

If it is the 330STi then bite their hand off and just make sure they update the map before you pick it up OR get it remapped properly by Bob Rawle, JGM, Andy Forrest, Race Dynamix etc etc.

I see, thanks ..... not sure I would want to buy from a car dealership who spells CHASSIS as CHASSE

There are a couple of things wrong with those - at £23,000 they are the 'old' model - they are not proper UK cars .... and it looks like they have chavvie blue metal foot pedals!!

Also, they are the slower Saloon model .... no room for doggie

Depends how flexible the missus is, I guess Pete.

Although you really shouldn't be doing that at your age!

Then you won't be wanting a new UK car either as that's how it comes from the factory.
Have another guess why they are blue.

From where?

If it's Subaru UK then perhaps they are trying to get rid before a newer, better looking and more relaible model comes in for the MY 11.

Pentagon had them .... they only have one red one left I think, looking this evening? Not sure about the red at all .....

I do think it is the begining of the end .... nothing coming in due to the exchange rate - which is getting worse and worse and worse .... add a hung parliment and there will be a rush on the £

Hit the nail on the head above. I hope house prices take a nose dive might get some good deals then and make them more affordable for first time buyers.

Pete, I have only seen one Sti on the road. According to reports about 20 Sti's have been sold in the Uk last year. That price seems very good if it is genuine.

Make sure the mapping has been updated to prevent engine blow up.

Fancy bringing in one for myself or a R205 but the R205 is looking close to £40,000 with the current exchange rate

Would you buy one then if you had the money & could get a good trade in for your current (old) one? One owner, unmolested etc
