Default Black 05 sti 36k !

Hi


Why is it that you a buy a car and then you see another one a few days after that you wish you had the opportunity to look at. This lovely car is on auto trader and might be worth checking out for someone, it's an 05 sti in black , pretty standard . I've just bought same year, colour with 20k more miles for over 1.5k more. My car does have PPP but it makes me wonder with that significant difference in mileage whether I paid too much for mine!

Apologies if this should be in general discussion forum thought it more relevant here

It's a lot cheaper than yours because that "styling kit" looks most unpleasant (in my opinion, of course).

If you were happy with the price you paid at the time, then it was the right price, so I'd stop worrying (and looking, too!)

Yes you are probably right but also wanted to post this up as someone else might be interested

I wasn't actively looking it was the auto trader email alert thing which I had forgotten to switch off, I have now!

I'm happy with the car yes

Default You did good

If yours doesn't resemble a hovercraft then you made the right choice as some enhancement (like bodykits etc) will lower a cars value

I worked in the motor trade in service and sales for many years and standard cars fetch the bucks

Well missed I think

Its a good price to be fair - don't think it would be much effort to put the body back to standard either.

That was my thought. No way I'd keep it looking like that.
