vjmcdonnell Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Hi all, Im in the market for my first Scooby and wondering what the concensios is on the V3 or V4 STI Sedan vs the Type R (Max 1997) Are they that much different from the sedan and are they worth the extra. Thanks Vince
quit Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Can pick up a saloon for 2.5-3k type r £6+ type r rot quicker
vjmcdonnell Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 A Sti salon for 2.5 to 3k Where would be the best place to look for one. Was looking on Gumtree and eBay do far.
quit Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Yeah best bet , they come up just gotta find a good one
Tidgy Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 2-3k sti is gonna be a bit rough round the edges, similar with a type r at 6k
quit Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Seen plenty the early ones as the most desireabke are the v1/2 or v6

quit Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 typical of these tho isnt it! i wouldn't spend more than 3 tho on a half decent one if you can find one!!!!!
quit Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 i nearly got a black saloon last year a v3, but after some research turned out to be a bit ... well..... crap!
vjmcdonnell Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 I looked at a STI on Sunday and the price was cheap 2,300 Euro but god was it rough. I didn't even bother to drive it as with the rust and the bodging of wires in the engine bay I has seen enough. I kinda knew before I looked at it. Only had 2 MOT in since 2006.

quit Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 First ones ! People want original / first gen i think some classic insurers are not insuring them on policies anymore
vjmcdonnell Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 Which version did Gen 2 kick In? Must check the insurance suitation again, thanks for reminding me. I did hear that some insurance companies where not covering one less than 20year old
vjmcdonnell Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 So that means im hunting for a V1 to V4 Sti, Just need to save the money now.
