hi all went to look at a 55 plate wrx sti near me at a garage its advertised at £9250 which i thought was quite reasonable for a 55 plate sti and had 46000 miles,but an i say but it didnt have the adjustable dccd i thought they had these from 05 plates .
it was also a maltese import with a wrsport backbox so no ppp




edit also seen this ,never heard of it and it doesnt look to have dccd either and hasnt got the brembos upfront

did it have the rear arch flares, as could be a model year 04 car registered in 2005

The A-DCCD was "standard" on the UK cars but the A-DCCD was actually an option (as per the rest of Europe) that was added to all UK spec cars sold by IM (hence why they added 1k to the price ) so its up to you, could affect the resale value but your buying it slightly cheaper anyway, or just look for another one (or haggle well )

It's not a STi

As said that's not an STi.

It's one of those 'special' WRX models that had the STi interior.

The malta thing is a red herring, loads of Imprezas around 2005 for sale seem to be these Euro imports (and I have one too ).

it does have the wider track and is def the 2005 model but its a euro import either malta or cypress has the up dated dash guess it wasn`t specc`s with the dccd being a euro car

it won`t have the locking wheel nuts unless a previous owner has fitted one

also prob won`t have an alarm or tracker unless again a prev owner has fitted one.

does have the better seats though.

Nice looking car, I would prefer it without DCCD having owned a 55 plate with it.
...Just my opinion though

I have a 55 plate type UK with the DCCD. First thing I did was shove all the power to the rear Got bored though and now it sits in automatic all the time LOL.
Noticed on the add that tax was £400 a year......... Mine has a 6 months disc in it and was £134.

55 plate will be £215 per annum

Malta cars have an alarm (just not the sigma one) but no tracker (unless the 1st owner had it fitted at purchase)

No red stitching on handbrake or steering wheel.
Has a 5 speed gear lever.
No thumb wheel for DCCD.
WRX scoop.

Someone's just added a couple of STi badges on to a WRX special edition.

V5 should say what it is.

Much better base to start with and may have been modded already as the tail pipe looks very non std.
