Spec D

STi

Seems to be the same thing on ebay etc.

Get rid of the crappy WRX ironing board and I like them.

Ive often wondered this, I put it down the colour, spoiler, interior, and generally because folk like me dont see the difference.

Could it be that Spec D's are imports and the associated extra costs mean that it's value is slightly lower. Or do imports not have that stigma anymore?

Spec D is not an import

Appeals to a niche market (like me ) who like an STi's power and handling and brakes, but don't want (or are not allowed to have) the gold wheels, big spoiler and pink bits.

Less market = lower price.

My Spec D is sorted for wings, thank you. It's just an STi with leather trim and front fog lights which are covered up most of the year now.

I kind of like the Crystal Grey colour. It was the first decent STi I could find after Mr Blobby died so I went for it. The so-called upgraded stereo is pants and the Sat Nav is a waste of time so that went first of all.

There were only 300 of them and other than the black carpet and leather trim, it's only a shiny sticker in the drivers door shut that lets you know.

Oh, and the Spec D listed has 54,000 miles verses 48,000 for the other one. Which may account for £700 or so of the difference....

That's the cheapest one I have seen and suggests they need to get rid

Mines done 11k and worth more than that to me which is why I won't sell it. Big wings and roof spoilers are uber ghey IMHO. Much prefer the Spec D ethos

I personally think this is a cracking buy, low miles, mint condition, low owners, nice sensible mods

Spec D's on PH range from £7'500 to £11'750, so I assume they are just priced simular to the STI Hawk @ £7'795 to £15'000+.

At the end of the day a car is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

Try this one.

Didn't get 1 bid.

If I could get a quick sale for mine I would be genuinely interested, especially with the extended warranty.

Have you seen Subaru leather seats? I just don’t get spec D its not a classy saloon car it’s a Subaru if you wanted sophistication you would be looking for a BMW or VW etc

I like my Spec-D just because

I suppose that’s why Subaru made them, lots of spec D drivers have had normal sti in the past so I suppose its nice to have something different.

I love a good Rally slag

Of all the new ages it's my favourite bar the S202/4 Leather is nice but Spec C black cloth would be better

Although you can't beat a prefacelift classic Luckily I have both

Rob Day

iTrader: (78)

I do to a degree

Interior wouldnt put me off, you can lay your hands on just about any interior combination at the moment for a good price.

I was watching the 6k Cat D Spec D that was on eBay about a month ago, but someone on here beat me to it

Fair comment, the ad's pretty crap and the photos are not too great or recent (is that 24 the temperature?) either. It does look like it's from a good home looking at the size of the garage and maybe has been used as a weekend toy.

The thing that would make it worth a look is the fact it has a manufacturers warranty (Subaru Approved?) until May. If it was a straight car and you could pick it up for £8.5k or less, even allowing for the fact the big service is due, could still be a bargain for someone.

WRX Blues

Agree with the above - appeals to the more discerning Subaru adoring gentleman (e.g. old bloke like me)

Seems like good value all though if it has PPP it should be putting out more than 273BHP?? Without PPP would be about right, although should still be a bit more.
