Default Recommend me a used car dealer

I'm on the lookout for an Sti and have my 2003 WRX PPP to P/Ex. I know guys on here have bought from reputable traders in the past. If you have used a decent forecourt before please let me know. I don't mind travelling from Essex for the right car.

Let me know how you get on mate as I have a 2003 WRX with a few mods and am thinking of doing a part ex for an STI so would be interested to know what kind of deals you are offered

I imagine dealers will be pleased to shift scoobs at the moment but not as happy to part ex for another one!

i got mine from Graham Walkers in Chester, they took my old wrx as part ex. Normally have a good choice of cars , only downside i found ( and also heard from others ) is they dont move alot on price. Guess you get what you pay for at the end of the day

Cheers fellas, however I think it might be best shifting my car first before I go shopping for the 'big boy'.

Does anyone on hear know this car or have you previously owned it. Its a 2003 WRX STI in blue, Reg: VK03 HHE, done about 49,000 miles and is on sale in Heywood, Rochdale.

I've not seen many with the roof scoop and was wondering what its purpose is. Also one thing thats worrying me a little is the 'SUBARU' lettering on the boot isn't in the normal place but quite high near the top of the panel.

been to see the car in question first off all the guy said to me its running nearly 400 bhp lol says he has a rolling road readout but left it at home full service history at home standard sti backbox no rumble no oil in it i asked the mechanic whether he had serviced it he says no but the salesperson tells me it has few marks on the boot and bonnet stupid fibreglass roofscoop subaru rear lettering near top off spoiler should be middle off boot and a mileage disclaimer on speedo says he bought off a friend i think thats a tell tale sings off a auction car as in the conversation we had not worth travelling from london for
