Perhaps if they'd priced them more sensibly from the start they wouldnt have to give them away now!

Must be the European model, check regarding the warranty being able to be transferred to the UK. I remember this with the hatch when they first came out, they cane with the 330s toys just not the power upgrade

Yep wondered the same thing where do they source the cars - euro imports ?? dont know enough about the subject , possibly euro imports are slightly better spec than uk cars ??

is it a genuine 11k off the price ie. would your local scooby dealer offer similar deals on there new cars ??

I bet its an 08/10 model rather than the 11 with new front bumper and different coloured interior trim. Seen a few of these but still a dam bargain!

Probably more likely an MY11 model as they will be clearing out the old stock for the MY12 cars (so there will be plenty to go around )

If you can get them on a PCP deal with a high residual based on 32k they could be peanuts a month but I bet that's a little to much to hope for.

cant understand how an unregistered 2011 saloon sti can be sold at this price

there's something not right in all of this...

i cant find any good reviews on people buying unregistered from them, only ones that the company already pre-reg the cars - this is no different to ford doing this that my wife has bought last 2 cars , got over £10k off

Im gonna keep this lot bookmarked as even for a 2nd hand 2011 STi thats a good price. Does sound too good to be true which usually means it is but if you do the proper checks on origin, warranty etc then its gotta be worth a look if your in the market now.

Just read the entire 12 page thread on Hot Deals. Omg I cant remember the last time I heard so much crap spoken in one place. Be lucky if there is even 1 page of useful info there.

I just tried submitting an enquiry to the dealer but got a java script error. Will give them a call later as quite intrigued to know if its an MY11 deal rather than yet another one of these old MY08's in red

Have any of you tried clicking on the GoTo Deal button?
It would appear that you're only getting £35 quid knocked off.

Looks like they've realised their mistake as it was definetly showing the £21k price earlier.

It changed prices after we contacted our zone manager for Subaru uk this morning. Suspect someone trying to pull a fast one.

The heavily discounted price advertised on this vehicle was due to nothing more than an error in a pricing update activated on Friday evening. As previous comments have mentioned the price was quickly removed Monday morning, this was when the error was spotted due to the large volume of email enquiries received about the offer. The offer was removed at 9.08 am yesterday morning - without the intervention of any Subaru Zone Managers!!!! However if Subaru would like to off load some of these vehicles I can gaurantee them a very big response if they reduce prices to this level. The pricing error went viral on numerous website forums and understandably created huge interest. As the offer was posted on the Carquake website, I only think it fair to state that Carquake are simply an advertising website and the error was caused by the advertiser and not Carquake. I have posted this on behalf of the advertiser and apologise for any disappointment this error may have caused any of the users of this forum.
