Hi all im looking at buying this car but im not 100% its a real STI...Can anyone help please. All it says on the V5 is subaru. Iv had an import wrx and a uk bugeye wrx before and it does seem alot quicker but then again im driving around in a bmw 318 at the moment so alot of cars would seem quick, Anyways Here is a link-

I didn't think that the sti came in that colour. Could be wrong though.

One thing to question the dealer about and something that would put me off though, is why the price in the window is less than that price in the advert.

 

I'm not that good with Classics but I think it looks it.. from the red stitching on the gearknob,the STi stearing wheel ,the red edged seats and STi rear lights... only way to be 100% sure is get the VIN number, there's a website that someone has reference to on here that will tell u .. or at least ask for a photo of the engine from the seller.. I believe it should be a "redtop"

DOUBLE POST AGAIN!

 

Im new to forums whats double post again mean? All of the interior can be had on ebay...thats what got me doubting. Iv found the website for the sti codes so im gonna have a drive over there later.
As for the prices??
He said £3000 when i went there last week Needs to make his mind up!

 

Nothing to do with car matey ..There's a problem some people are having with Scoobynet, including me, with their web-browser or something ,that makes it post up twice what I put up.
Anyway .. Good luck with the car

Here's the site, it's old but of use. Being a wagon it's not as powerful as a Saloon and being a V3 it's RCU is not as easy to get more power from.

Doh, me as well!

 

As I've found out any mods that you make where you need a remap will involve replacing the ECU. So count out decat dp and front mount mods for starters.

 

Looks to have all the right bits to be a V3 STi Wagon and colour is right (should have gold wheels) for a V-Limited. Will still be 276bhp, same as the saloon as V3 onwards there was no difference between the bodyshells. If you've got the codes you shouldn't go wrong. Hope its a good 'un.

 

Thats the site im looking at now... Thanks for the replies lads

 

I'll eat my hat now. The V-Ltd STi Wagons are quoted as 280PS, sorry for the mis-information.
