Default Mint Classic

I'm considering selling my 2005 WRX and going back to a classic shape Impreza, preferably an STI, but a UK Turbo with the right mods and no rust would also be considered.

Are there any mint examples out there?

Willing to pay up to £5k if it is worth it.

What have you got?

a mint sti upto 5k.. youll be lucky, you may have to up your budget.

I wouldn't be so picky, it will only get dents/chips and scratches anyway your looking for a second hand car best part of 10 years old. if I had one that old and in mint condition ide be charging a premium

(all your words not mine )

only joking mate im not here to slate you like I have been, good luck in your search it maybe harder than you think, albeit you arnt too fussy about the millage so..

ill keep an eye out for you aswell

I'm after a classic shape, UK or STI, not a Newage. So a private sale of £5k or thereabouts for a decent classic 4 door is not far off.

£7.5K for a low mileage, mint (as it left the show room) Newage STI on the other hand was always going to be a bit of a stretch!

If I wanted one, I would up the budget slightly and import one

Sorry fella, I always though that it was a newage you were after.

Although the wagons are a great deal and practical, I just can't get on with the look. This is one of the main reasons that I am considering going back to a classic. Only if I can find one that is.

Just make sure you guys don't get caught up in a bidding war!

All the best in your search though.

let the games begin!

Gear Head each to their own I suppose, wagons have grown on me. granted some look abit basic and not very appealing but I have to admit to liking the STi in the link especially in white.
