My friends. Find me an STi. I'm keeping an eye on NASIOC but if you have any other connections feel free to use them.

I know i don't need an STi... but do any of you STi owners really need them either?.. Life is too short and a few years down the road when i get myself into a serious relationship and buy a house and (not so soon hopefully) have kids.. an STi wont be an option.. why not enjoy life? I've traveled the world, driven tanks, camped out on aircraft carriers, met some amazing people.... i'm enjoying my time i have on this planet and i'm not going to make the mistake so many people make of "waiting" and then never doing anything.

anyways what i want is an either 04 or 05 model STi.. mileage doesnt matter as long as it's not excessive. Car doesn't have to be mint condition... would prefer a few SMALL mods. nothing really top shelf race tuned uber-STi... TMIC or FMIC (top perefered due to it most likely being cheaper)... as far as money goes im trying to keep this in the low $20k range.

look at IWsti.com
there was a 04 witha LOT of mods, and a blown engine

for 17K I'm sure you can talk him to 15 and then get a new engine for 5K.

either way I'll keep my eyes out for them

I'll keep my eyes out too! Can't say I blame ya

there is a black '06 with gold BBS and possibly FMIC sitting at the Land Rover dealer on Duke Street, near the edge of Old Town Alexandria.

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:49 am

which im sure is at least $30k lol. im gona talk to the dealership that sold me my RS and see if they have any suggestions..

thanks for the help so far guys!

almost forgot

the STi with the blown engine is tempting.... i was kinda in a hurry but i coudlnt find the thread on the site. i'll look again i guess lol

what worries me is.. that engine blew for a reason.. perhaps all those mods are to blame...if a new STi engine would only run me $5000 it is definetly a possibility though...

theres a bloke on NASIOC selling his modded JBP O5 STi with 14k miles for $27,000.. it's not an unreasonalbe price to ask i know, but im looking for cheaper.. i dont want a show STi... just a running one that gooes "Vroom.. SSS... Vroooom... SSS....". it doesnt have to be immaculate with 18 layers of wax and a $9000 stero system

found it. it's tempting but im gona hold off on that... call me paranoid but i dont like buying a car that already has problems... even if i intend to fix them.. in the past when i have done that i just ended up having more problems arise

spazegun2213 · Post by **spazegun2213** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:59 pm

hell for 27K i would consiter selling mine

haha, or not. I'm sure cheaper ones can be had. just keep looking.

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:00 pm

carmax had some $25k ones.. its gettin closer... i only wish they'd list any mods done tot he vehicle... if i can grab one already modded (within reason) i'd be happier

WRXWagon2112 · Post by **WRXWagon2112** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 4:07 pm

I can't imagine CarMax selling a modded car. They likely would not buy back a car with modifications so you're pretty safe shopping there. Of course the question becomes "What mods used to be on the car before it was sold to CarMax?". And therefore, how badly was it flogged before the prior owner got rid of it?

Go to cars.com there are several 04 STIs for $23-24k with mileage as low as 30k and as high as 60k. Look for individual sellersand expect you can get them down at least $500-$1,000.

Trust me, if you are really serious and look hard enough, good used STIs are out there for good prices.

Yeah, I would not like to buy the car that I turned back to stock down in Woodbridge.

How would you feel about swapping this guys car parts into yours? You could have 75% of an STi for 25% of the cost! Plus, your insurance would be a lot less.

Post by **Sabre** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 4:59 pm

BTW, insurance on a STI is killer...

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 6:02 pm

how killer?

And you're over 25 and a homeowner....
$75/month FTW!!!

of course I have no power to speak of either

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 6:39 pm

haha. well i am neither. im already paying upwards of $300 a month for my RS, and i've never been involved in any real accident.. god only knows how much the STi will set me back

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 8:17 pm

damn. just missed an 05 WRB STi with 9,000 miles for $22k

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 8:37 pm

hm.. maybe the STi with the blown engine is a possibility

if i were to get that.... and put a new engine.. would you say it would be worth it?

would that be acceptable? where would i get the engine from? opinions?

Post by **Sabre** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 12:54 am

I'd buy a Cobb engine if I were to rebuild that STI

My insurance comes out to $227/mo with one accident on it. 29 (almost 30), own a house and am single.

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 1:27 am

well that's encouraging.. mine will obviously be more than my RS.. but as long as its not TOO much more i'll be fine

OK it ain't Cobb, but Crawford can do some nice work. 2.5 swapped '02 w/ AVO turbo, gears and akiller hood

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Sun Jul 02, 2006 6:07 am

that's a pretty hawt looking scooby. i like that hood he has on there

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 5:22 pm

well everything is pretty much set except me having the job i need to pay for it! which i am now feveroushly attempting to fix..... theres an 04 aspen white STi with 20k miles at the one local subaru dealer... mint condition, garage kept, summer driven.. with HKS exhaust and alpine sound system for $26k... on top of that it looks damn sexy and sounds monstrous... this just might be the car!

Post by **Sabre** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 5:26 pm

Congrats if you get the car and good luck on the job front!

Cereb Daithi · Post by **Cereb Daithi** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 5:09 pm

you know... that little bastard at the subaru dealership never called me back about the STi.... i have a feeling he thought "i wasnt serious" about buying it... this pisses me off.. now i have to drive back to the dealership to get the numbers so i can start working out if i can make the payments or not
