I think the OP is being too emotional about this car purchase.

Yeah, there are definitely bad dealerships, but I've been burnt plenty of times by private sellers too. Back in December, I was looking at 2013-2015 STis and it was hard to find any private sellers on craigslist that would even give their phone number.

You're eliminating a big chunk of the market (and thus your options) if you just decide to blindly eliminate dealerships.

Regarding salespeople knowing nothing, it's annoying to us, but I think it doesn't make a difference for non-enthusiasts who buy most of the cars. One of my friends works for a local BMW dealership and many of the "M" cars are bought by people who could care less about the technical details.

I feel dumber for have reading the first post.

But srsly, I'm ready to make a change.
pm or email my balls.

dang thats ultra nice.

Originalhypa, I got your msg along with a couple others from here offering their STi. I got a huge boner for your car but I have to have the original spoiler which yours doesn't have. It's a make it or break it and gives the STi it's character. I just knew that I probably couldn't afford your mint STi as I have a certain budget I must adhere to -----> So says the wifey :|

Anyways, thanks for the support everyone. Hope to see you all at the RS spring meet!!!

wingless hawk eye STI :megusta:

06-07 in good shape are hard to find. Ive been looking as well.

I hate this post... Everything about it

Just came.

MFW.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE AN AD UP IN THE CLASSIFIEDS?!

The stupidity continues at Willowbrook.......If anyone is looking to pay high 20's for an STI with a moonroof. PM me; I have more details for you. PS: you may or may not have less than 1 week to act. Depends if they were lying to me.

2006 Subaru STi here you go op

The one in Langley that is for sale is 2 expensive. It's been for sale for what seems like eons. It is also a US import. I know the Canadian dealerships are getting hammered by the weak Loonie but buyers aren't stupid. If anything we'll just wait it out until the loonie gains strength. Oil isn't going to stay low forever as its cyclic in nature, hell look at the pumps gas prices are starting to rise back to normal prices.

the black one you're referring to was at the subaru in langley and it sold 1.5 weeks ago. It was on the market since November and the asking price didn't really move.

The one at Willowbrook is blue and been on the market for less than a week.

Quite a few STi's have shown up on the market in the past couple months.
- the 05 $16,500 at Land Rover which sold fast and is now being flipped for $22 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
- this 06 $30,000 is less than a day old on the market **2006 SUBARU IMPREZA STI - 55,000km**
- this 06 $22,500 is less than 1 month. 2006 Subaru STi
- this 06 $25,000 is a month or 2 old. 2006 Subaru sti 92,000kms (lots of extras)
- I don't know if this 06 is the same as the $30,000 one above. but he wanted $35,000 for it 2006 Subaru WRX STI
- rebuilt 07 $22,000 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
- 04 $15,000 2004 wrx sti imprezza
- rebuilt 07 $23,000 was posted end of Jan 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

If i'm spending over $30,000, I would be better off buying this one FS: (For Sale) alcoolaid's 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI - NASIOC

It's as if the people on craigslist don't know that a 2015 STI is $40,000. or is the 04-07 STI the new aircooled Porsche? :suspicious:

I am only speculating but I forsee the 04-07 STI's becoming hidden gems. The car is that damn good. Later iterations of the STi's leave a sour taste in my mouth. It's like comics 04-07 is the golden age of Subaru's while the newer have just become 'meh'

I'm banking on the desirable 04-07's STi's to become very much in demand for like forever. Like the ITR's, FD's, Evo 7, Supra's, NSX's, E46. Car is brilliant the newer STi's are watered down. Not to mention the 6 speed keeps it desirability in tact.

I have a hard time believing any Subaru could hold that much of a premium, but then again the stereotypical STi fanboy isn't the brightest.

lol, no worries man. I really don't want to sell it, but I could use the space for other projects. The STi has been "done" for a few years now.

FYi, I have the original spoiler trunk sitting safely on a shelf in my garage, along with the factory hoodscoop. Both are in mint condition, even after 3 moves.
:lol

werd.
The hawkeye/pignose didn't sell very well. The car was mocked when it was released. I still remember NASIOC circa 05' when they brought out the new design. It was supposed to look more "Alfa Romeo" bringing the oval grill to all the models. But it just looked silly (until modified, that is :D). Aside from that, the 07' Limited is still one of the most sought after GD models on the market. I'd jizz for an 07' with it's stronger gear ratios if not for the stupid canbus ecu. That's why I think the 06' is the ultimate model year for the GD.

That's just my opinion though.
:whistle:


:lol

I'm still on the fence about the sale. I had a deal almost finalized last spring, but I didn't like the kid buying it. He just rubbed me the wrong way. So when he came to pick it up with $3k less in his jeans, I told him to piss off. You can't change the deal at the last second!


Arthur's STi is so sick. It's been built by hand by an individual who really cares for fine details. It truly is one of the best STi's on the west coast.

A well maintained STi will still command a higher price than a lot of cars. This is a vehicle that can be taken to a track day and flogged. Then driven home in relative comfort. The AWD/turbo gives you all weather performance in a car that can seat 4 adults in comfort. There isn't much out there that will give you the performance and practicality of an STi.

Yes, a well maintained STI will command a higher price...... :D :D :D

definitely a car that can be flogged at the track and driven back with comfortably.

I miss #106 :(. Although it has been said that the '07's weren't received well because of the power drop from previous years. 293hp and 290tq compared to 300hp/300tq. The '06 engine(block specially) was touted as the being the strongest in the GD line-up

i know how you feel OP. i called to test drive an evo X when I was considering between that and mustang GT. they said it's only for serious buyers, and asked me if i'm a serious buyer. i said well i'll know after i test drive it.

he basically told me sorry no can do. so here i am with a mustang.

i was told that the '06s were pat richards fav yr for the GDs

^^Bingo ;)

These things are holding 10k+ still :okay:


ver3 type R coupes- lightest, best. :megusta:

wasn't that the year when they changed the way hp and tq was measured and every cars hp was listed lower even if it was the same engine?

Looking back at when you were selling your 07 limited, I think it was priced well. Last price mentioned there was $23,500 http://www.revscene.net/forums/69519...106-800-a.html
and going by original hypa's comment 07 limited is the most sought after GD model, you'd expect it to be top dollar.

And then looking at onur's 05, the last price was $17000 FS: (For Sale) 2005 STI WRB with Gold BBS wheels ++++ - Page 2 - NASIOC

what if people don't mod as extensively as him? then 07>06??

and just because it's related, even your 2010 is priced well at $30,000 FS: (For Sale) 2010 Subaru STI - lightning red - canadian model - NASIOC
Unless it's not well maintained :concentrate:



The cars on the market right now are still pretty new to the market. Maybe the prices are all inflated cuz of that black 07 for $28,995 was listed for so long and still up. Before recent, that black one was really the only one to compare to unless you compared to ones that have already sold, which I doubt sellers do. I plan to let them sit there until the owners drop their own price to a price that I like. and the price i like is closer to white rocket's and onur's :alonehappy:

i still prefer the 06 TBH (lack of air pump in particular). but i'm biased, i had an 06... which i must say, i sold for $26,500 with V3s, DP, RPF1s and Recaro SPGs 4-5yrs ago so i'm a bit surprised by the market values of 06/07s now! the car was incredible.. i dont know how many track days i did in it.. but it NEVER skipped a beat. I only had an off the shelf stage 2 map too!

my 2010 is well maintained as i used to daily drive and take it to lapping days. i just need to sell it as i need the space hence the price. :(

what's the email for your balls?
