Hi guys

 

New here, had a few Impreza's in the past and looking to enter into ownership again, and I'm basically about to buy a WRX STi Version 2 555 Wagon.  VIN checks out, genuine car of the 100 Wagons made for this year with 66k on the clock, no real history to back mileage up other than some MOT's and such, which is often expected with imports?

 

The car is clean, zero rust, the odd age related mark but no dents.  Has minimal mods, Exhaust, Panel Filter and some Lamco gauges.  Just serviced with Cambelt etc.

 

I was/am all set to buy really, I like the car and got good vibes from it.  But since I've had some time to think about it, I'm wondering about the agreed price of 3.4k.

 

You can definitely get a "regular" Wagon WRX STi for less, when they do crop up (which isn't not too often granted), but also, the odd few cost more I guess. 

 

I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the price? 

 

Cheers

Just an edit to say I am after a Saloon of a similar era ideally, but the Wagon makes sense for my lifestyle and is local enough...  If a Saloon was 3.4k I wouldn't even question it.

The wagons are getting a lot more desirebale , to be honest I never seen the appeal of a 555 ? What do you get extra apart from a badge

A lot less compared to the saloon, (which had roof flap, ally bonnet and wishbones etc).  The Wagon just got the unique paint, TD05 (I think wagons came with TD04 at this time?) and erm..  a bit of exclusivity? 

No they have the td05 on v2 then too ,

Not all 555 saloon got the flap only a few did as they did a wrx / Sti / ra version

Up to you Mate it's your money end of the day ! Personally I'm a big wagon fan I wouldn't go down the v2 route

There is a V4 for sale for similar money,..  Higher miles but still low overall, circa 75k..  I just really aren't a fan of the colour :(

 

Are they a better proposition?  I thought the V2 STI engine was one of the stronger ones?

 

Cheers

Think they have a closed deck not sure , if your not going big power you don't need it

What's your budget ?

Closer to 3k the better really.  If a nice RA/V-Limited Saloon was available I'd go to circa 4k.  More after a standard-ish car, not into big mods etc.

Cool , I would be on the other end buy a cheap uk car and change the engine / gearbox to take more power !

I sadly have far too much on as it is with cars to take more work on board.  Maintaining the current batch takes up enough time lol!

Lol ! There is a wagon owners Facebook page a few pop up on there
