What are people's thoughts on this STI?

[Dempsey]

Seen this on line and as am looking to get one thought I'd ask on here what people's thoughts are on it from the write up and look of it?

Is it a known one on here or does anyone know who the owner is?

Looks nice car maybe tad expensive but it is cleAn - tidy unamused

This is something I'm still not sure on with these imprezas and that's pricing.

I'm not exactly sure when they are over priced albeit slightly or if they are about right.

Very hard to tell as they seem to fluctuate a lot on price.

For a guide, what would you expect to be looking at payin for say an 04 sti with between 80k on the clock with full history?

Also what mileage would start to put it off looking at one of these as there is a very local sti wide track dccd model to me that is under £6k with 110k but rebuild proof, just unsure of the mileage as usually prefer to buy something with less than 100k on the clock lol.

Widetrack for 6k I would buy it with 100k on clock all day long even if a bit tatty

For a 52 plate would be happy around 5/5.5k

Cool, it gives me something to guide against. I know everyone will have a difference in thoughts on this but may help gauging what's a little ott price wise then.

Cheers Matt.

nice looking car - agree its a little expensive - only thing I would question is why the calipers have had to be helicoiled given the service history, was it accidental or did someone bodge something along the way - this would not stop me buying the car though so dont let that put you off it

[Scooby Pete]

The helicoils wouldn't bother me, I know from experience that the steel bolts tend to chew up the alloy thread in the calliper. I had to get mine helicoiled when I swapped discs. It's quite common with alloy callipers.

Appreciate the comments guys, it's all helping. May take a while responding today as at the in laws Silver wedding anniversary do.

As I said though, appreciate all input :)

I paid 5.5 k for my blob sti type uk prodrive with 86k miles. In mint condition from dealer. And its all standard. :)

[Dempsey]

Wow, any find any that sound like that at present at that money. Great find and buy by the sounds of it.

Best keep looking then :)
