I could of bought a brand new fiesta/corsa if all I wanted was a new car. Whether you would personally spend £10k on one would be your decision. As for the cat D, whether it bothers you or not, that is the reason it's £9k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 yeah true, i looked at a rb5 "limited edition" before i got mine, was nothing special i thought i was just saying that there are plenty good examples under your estimated price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my estimation was based on a good, clean and well maintained example of an STI with good history and mileage. You cant list a load of previous write offs, wrx's and spec D's and say look at all these I found for less. That would be like someone saying my e46 m3 is worth £10k, then someone saying "no it's not, I've seen 330ci's going for £4K" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Tho 2 were sti exactly as you described sub 10k ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say you couldn't find them under £10k, but generally if you want a good one they are between £10k-£13k ish. One sold for £22k on eBay recently with 9000 miles on the clock. And yes there are a few cheaper ones. If your brother really did pay £7900 for a fully forged hawk STI, that is the bargain of the century and fair play to him. so there you go @Taiwan85, with your £8k budget you should be able to get yourself a fully forged hawk sti, with enough change for a couple of tanks of v-power. That's definitely the route I would go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be forged from someone's back garden hammer and anvil, Put together by some monkey. 👌 Ill stick to something quite decent and unmolested as much as possible. I know you said to go blue @HawkSTI but this has popped up on the radar? What you think? Worth a look? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182672392010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkSTI Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 @Taiwan85 I clicked the link but it says it's been removed, maybe sold already? and if you ever are lucky enough to find a forged hawk sti for less than £8k, snap it up and you should be able to sell it for at least £4K profit. There is no such thing as a fully forged hawk sti for £8k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 the chap was getting divorced it was up for 10, then we was watching on eBay and best offer he wasnt listening and it was listed again and again and again but the distance put us off then said he would take 8k if we was there within 2 days. If people are desperate. Yes its a good car and a bargain price you just got to hold out they are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 think i overpaid for my blob wrx i paid 5500 for that! its only got 34k on the clock and im second uk owner. I am worried about its history though or could it been clocked?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kershaw-330s Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 @kershaw-330s and it's probably still worth that is it? I would like to think maybe a bit more , a year or so ago there were a few forged ones going upfor 20 , glad I went for the 330 as it's held its price really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worried about its history though or could it been clocked?? I think 5k is about right for a good condition performance car especially as yours has low miles , i doubt it would've been clocked just look at past mots it would show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good way to check the mileage is to download an app to check mot history and see if there are any points where the mileage has gone down between mot's.

I'm not sure what the differences are in jdm spec to uk on a wrx but I'm pretty sure the jdm's are worth a bit more 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 wrx will prob be about 40% the value of a sti, a forged engine will prob add 2-3k to the price of a hawk sti. 5k for a blob wrx is strong money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 i couldnt insure a sti, was double the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taiwan85 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 My 04 gttdi golf is £506 to insure for the year. The STi is £512 with the same company. makes no sense, im either stupidly overpaying for the daily golf, or the sti is cheap. im 32 with 9 ish years no claims... living in subaru country haha checked a few years ago, when i had my nissan 200sx, and they wanted nearly £2500 out of me for a classis wrx. £1800 for a sport, yet my mods declared 200sx, stage1a (circa 270-290hp) was £700... go figure. i think it depends on who you get on the phone tbh. always seems hit and miss.

The wrx is good, but the sti has all the things you'd want to upgrade on a wrx already done, and should hold value better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
