vjmcdonnell Posted January 2, 2017 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vjmcdonnell Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 2-3k sti is gonna be a bit rough round the edges, similar with a type r at 6k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted January 3, 2017 Share 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!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted January 3, 2017 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjmcdonnell Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share 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.
