Gary2707 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Hi guys, I know it's not exactly a "part" but it was suggested to me that I post here. I'm after a black wrx hatch as my next car. I'm Honestly not bothered about low mileage provide all is working and the car has at least 3 months mot and tax. I'm based in Nottingham so if you or you know someone selling up please let me know. My budget is a max of £9k and at that I'd need to finance. I'm hoping to find one around the £6k-£7k mark. Thanks all
Jay762 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Good luck hopefully someone can come through with something
Gambit Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Fine mate I will keep an eye out when I'm looking around :)

Scooby Pete Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Why not give you a chance for a decent drive back and enjoy the car :) only 700 mile round trip fly out to Dublin get train to Longford cple of tanks to drive back :D just get an independent mechanic to check it out 1st. Piston heads is a good place for cars worth checking regularly.

salsa-king Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 get one any colour.. at the right price. then get it WRAPPED by PWPro in Mansfield for about £1500 in Satin Black.. or any colour you fancy :)
Gary2707 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 Hi guys just an update on this thread... Been to look at a wrx hatch today and loved it, it was right at the top end of my budget tho' so gotta do some thinking. @ Salsa-king yh I think that is a good idea but the car would have to be a great price to warrant the £1.5k wrap but defo gonna consider this. I'm also now looking at wrx sti's as well as wrx's. The only thing that put me off the sti before was the cost of the car and insurance but if one came up in my price range ( I know this is very unlikely, but here's to hoping ) I'd try and do the best I could with insurance and would obviously be happy to spend a little on insurance. I think I'm just rambling now haha so I'll stop. Anyway thanks for all the replies so far keep them coming :)

salsa-king Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 insurance cost doesn't bother me at £413 FC lol tax next week at £495 is obscene though
salsa-king Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 how about a STi http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-SUBARU-IMPREZA-2-5-WRX-STI-Type-UK-5dr-/281269004245?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item417cf067d5

salsa-king Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 only thing wrong with it is where/who's selling it. They don't get a good rep if you google them

Yh I'd seen this one on autotrader. There was something that put me off but I can't remember what it was now. I'm defo wanting the STi now. Basically if I've got to finance I might as well get the top model, right!? 1

I've had a talk with my "ladyfriend" Or as she likes to call here self "the boss" haha and convinced her that a wrx STI is the only car for us ;) so now only searching for STI's :D Could do with changing the the thread title really. I'll do a search but if any one wants to post and tell me how to change it feel free ;)
Gary2707 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Just noticed the title has changed :) thanks to who ever did it :D

Ignore that the link went funny... http://www.mdscarsales.co.uk/showroom/subaru-impreza-2-5-wrx-sti-type-uk/ There it is again. If any one knows any history of this car please let me know.
Jay762 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 That is top money for that car with that mileage and year also - it hasn't got 18 inch alloys, it hasn't got fog lamps which were an option / nice to have but the big thing is I dont think this is a type UK but a standard STI running 300 bhp. The type UK is one with the prodrive kit (ECU, back box, remap and high flow panel filter) and should come with a certificate and an extra 30bhp
