Considering a scooby, when did they get a 6 speed box?

It sucks but hey, when I come back i'll probably get another one to be honest!

matt100, I know your budget is £10k but if you can stretch have a look at mine, it's the tidiest one you will find:) It's a 2005 plus its got the PPP on it.

Not if you want a 6 speed box ;)

Agree with th eabove, MY05 model or above.

Also as standard the 2.5 engines are fine I thought, have known plenty of people with them who haven't had any problems. They've been standard and PPP'd models.

yes.

i want one badly :( I've wanted one ever since my uncle gave me me a ride in his Jap V4 STI when i was a kid. No point stretching myself again and getting myself into the same scenario as the VXR. Gonna wait till i can do it properly. Also need to wait for my driving ban to expire, insurance with it declared was over 2k !
 
Fair enough on the engine failures, no one I know ever had any problems include my folks who had one from new. It did not have an easy life either :)

Bear in mind most of the cars in those threads are MY08 models, not Hawkeyes which I'm talking about.

there are reports of Hawkeyes having it as well.

Those were what i found after only a quick scan of the forums. Its enough to put me off and want a JDM spec C with the 2.0 instead.

Shame about the insurance but if you've got the space, a cheap daily with a well sorted classic in the garage for the weekends is the way to go :)

I sold my RA far too quickly and even though the money went to a good cause I now regret selling it - I didn't at the time.

I'll have another classic eventually though.
 
I drove a 54 plate wrx sti ppp on saturday and I totally fell in love... I have to have one.

I might even have that one... 38k 1 owner, main dealer, £11999 tempted.

I can see why people like these cars! I nailed it towards the apex of a corner in slightly damp conditions and had to back off, I'm not used to a car tightening its line into a corner!
 
Whoa, whoa, 12k for a nearly 6 year old WRX? No. Just no.

You can get them for half that. You could even pick up a newer STi for that, and still have money left for a years insurance.
 
For a 54 which means it'll probably be an MY05, with that mileage, PPP, and from a main dealer the price probably isn't much above what they go for.

Private sale will knock that down a fair bit, as will higher mileage.

When I was looking round it was rare to find anything decent under 10k for a MY05, 11/12 seemed to get you one with decent miles and condition.
