I held out for around 3 months looking around before i got mine. looked all over and ended up getting mine from local scooby garage to me. complete luck and chance. Not many around from my experience. Well worth the wait.

This one looks nice, I am sure it could be had for less than £8900.

I assume his looking for my2005 in particular. Wide track, dccd, sti. And it's a blob not hawk as the tax bracket changes in 2006 and before 2005 they weren't wide track.

Wide track blobs were actually made available to purchase in the latter part of 2004 and were on a '54' reg plate.

I know, cos I've got one!

It's the car everybody is looking for. I had a simalar requirement although i was entertaining the WR1's. I was talking to a trader about one. In my opinion I got messed around about. Was annoyed and looked on pistonheads on my way home and spotted one that had been on there for a couple of hours. I Immiediatly phoned and went to see it. While on the test drive somebody phoned to make their offer. I paid the asking price, higher than the usual prices. It is in good nik and had a few mods I liked. When I collected it he said he had a few calls including one from Germany saying he was going to come and collect it. It appears they are wanted in Europe as well.

9 out of 10 people who buy a car with DCcd never touch the bloody button anyway due to either Fear of pranging it or because they don't understand how to use it or get the chance to PROPERLY

Im in the same boat, looking for a 2005 STi with DCCD and PPP with lowish miles, perferably in blue.

This one ticks all the right boxes but the price is far too high..

The last of the blobs with widetrack, dccd are defo hard to find. I've had mine for 2 yrs and at the time of looking there werent many around then either. I guess with most cars there are plus and minuses and personal preference

RobsyUK - I could be tempted to sell mines, but its black with gold alloys -04/05 facelift model

I wanted blue one aswel and picked mine up as standarded aswell which even harder to find.. Was very lucky soon as saw it put deposit down straight away without even going to look at the car. Was only on sale a day the dealer said and had 12viewing for the day I picked it up so glad I put deposit down on it.. It's fun in the wet with the dccd

I think sales were low because the hatch was coming and the run out saloons were being sold as special editions like the Spec D. Therefore few on the second hand market.

No. The hawkeye was the next model,2 more years until the hatch. Its a buyers market and there are a few around.
I know someone who is selling a 55 plate one and cant shift it.
