i know but rareity and depreciation proof swings it for me i do admit i own a workshop so not bothered about repairs etc but a scoobs a chav car or a suit wearing type on the later jobbies, cossies a mans car, not because there bigger or better etc its just the image thing, im looking for another cossie now and i know that once i buy right i can keep it for as long as i like and ill still get the same money for it, more than likely make a profit as we do paintwork etc too. ok they older and a bit smellyer lol but i love em

its not even a WR1 anyway, just a normal STi. Best looking one behind the original Type R imo.

10K for a chav mobile?

Granted they're nice cars but it's the fact that you'd be sat at traffic lights and some chav would pull next to you in his and you'd die!

Rather have an evo, but end of day cossie's are expensive to run break down almost daily but, every fucker know's a cossie is the mutt's nut's

I think it is an STi? BHP he put 275, isnt that standard STi power? The WRX turbo is something around the 220-230 mark I thought?

And its got STi all over the seats, intercooler, steering wheel, mats, spoiler every fucking where! Surely thats a bit overkill on a non STi lol?

It is just a WRX as he states in add, a remap with exhaust fitted would be about 275bhp, It looks silver which is not WR1 colour and WR1 didn't have fog light covers. Also the rear spoiler is a replica wrc one and not sti one. But I still say a scooby is a good reliable everyday car and most parts are easy to get hold of and not to expensive.

As said it's just a WRX, you can see it hasn't got the brembos. And a Cat D one at that, making it rip off of the century.

not even used a genuine sti rear spoiler, that's 1 of the cheaper copies.....

i personally dont understand why someone would buy a wrx and then spend all that money changing it to have the same or similar bits as a sti, why not just buy an sti to start with?
