Tell Me Why I Shouldn't Buy This STi & Maybe I'll reconsider...
 
New STi's look like trash so not going that route (no pun intended)
New Evo's look just as garbage but can't deny their power/performance
Was browsing Craigslist and saw this sick STi and gonna take a look at it.
http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rc...624283904.html
If everything checks out with my mechanic I'm gonna put in a strong offer

But before I go take a look just want to know if revscener has the 411 on the car. Maybe hidden secrets about the car or prior owners. Just don't want a LEMON or car that abused to shit.

1st mod if I buy the car will be matte black wrap at SR. Anyone know how much wrapping goes for?

guy at SR told me their wrap job can cost from $3000-$11,000. The SLR they did was about $11k due to all the the different angles and panels

^Exactly my thought.

Car looks good tho, hope there are little to no surprises

hi-revs 10-06-2011 02:14 PM

Buying a car fully modded like that, you better be tech savy or know a good mech/tuner.
Sti's are great. Have one myself. Let me tell u, theyre more iffy about the little things compared to Honda's.

Have you ever driven a car with close to 400whp?

optiblue 10-06-2011 02:21 PM

Good luck with a highly modified car~

Just no.

d1 10-06-2011 02:41 PM

110K invested and only 380whp?

1exotic 10-06-2011 02:42 PM

What's the big deal if its modified?

If the owner put $110k and all that time into his car I fucking bet it was taken care of really well. Even better than a bone stock car.

Also yeah it was probably driven hard, but it has all the supporting mods to handle the power, so the engine is putting that power out safely.

for some reason i immediately thought this could apply to girls as well

yokomo930 10-06-2011 03:44 PM

My $0.02 is that unless you are expert in upkeeping a highly modded car.. better stay away from rides like this.

All the aftermarket parts can be mint and working, but how they work together is another thing.

A stock GD STi with cool body kit and carbon bits is probably a safer bit .... ;)

1exotic 10-06-2011 03:49 PM

Plus this is literally a built track car, so if you just plan on trying to look cool in it with some flat black vinyl stay away.

The car also equip with sti limited edition leather interior and heated seats . It is a multipurpose car car be track or can also be daily drive. Where else can you find a car you can go to snowboard winter time and long distance trip like I used this as my family car.

didnt know track cars have leather heated seats.....the guy used his car to haul his family around and who the fuck are you to tell him what he can and what he cant do to the car.

Maybe... maybe not.
I mod the crap out of everything I own.

My computer looks like a beast, but it's at stock clocks.

My scooter has half again of it's value added on in performance parts. But I neither take it to the track nor do I drive like a twat in the city. I just like how they feel for my daily driving.

If nothing anything else, it means the owner has given the car a lot of attention.


This guy is more likely to take his car in for it's regularly scheduled maintenance than some honger with a bone stock STI. He would also be the type to baby it with premium fuel and lubes and as you have seen, replacement parts.
