Default I think i'm coming back, i knew it would happen.

Well well well, i find myself on scoobynet once again. A year ago i owned a 03 WRX and was always pretty annoyed with myself that i didnt buy an STI, anyway, i ended up selling that to help fund a house purchase and subsequently bought a Focus ST-2 225, i've done a fair bit to it since i bought it, downpipe, decat, pumaspeed remap, filter, etc etc - it's running a confirmed 280bhp which would be great, if it wasnt all to the front wheels! Anyway, 7 months and ive had enough of FWD, it's no fun whatsoever and i'm ready for a change. But, it's a toss up, between a 335d (the just short of 500lb/ft torque and auto box do sound attractive for a more refined driving experience) or a WRX STI, i've seen one on the trader which seems to have been on there for a year now so im wondering if its overpriced, or a lemon, or some other reason it hasnt sold in all that time. Any thoughts?

haha, i live on the outskirts and ive been to check it out, they arent a dodgy "bradford" type garage as you would expect. Sure i could be wrong as looks can be deceiving, but looked like a half decent tidy setup.

Believe it or not, not everyone and every company in bradford is dodgy, just 99.9%

To be honest, im struggling to find any nice, low mileage tidy examples. Last year when i'd just bought the ST there were loads around, now im looking to buy i cant seem to find any.

Two points:

1) It's in Bradford

2) Bradford is where it is!

I know that technically that's the same point, but it's so significant I think it's worth mentioning twice

I quite fancied the blue one they had/have up for sale for the same price. Contacted them a few times and no one got back to me.

Must say the whole Bradford thing put me off.
